  • Patent number: 11733052
    Abstract: A computing system that analyzes the network effects of avoidance areas on autonomous vehicle routing is described herein. The computing system includes a data store that comprises a set of avoidance areas through which the autonomous vehicle is prohibited from being routed. A routing system generates an initial route from a source location to a target location irrespective of avoidance areas included on the initial route. When a number of avoidance areas on the initial route exceed a predetermined threshold, one or more alternative routes are generated from the source location to the target location that respectively circumvent a corresponding identified avoidance area on the initial route. Metrics are evaluated for the one or more alternative routes and a subset of avoidance areas are outputted to desirably be removed from the set of avoidance areas.
    Type: Grant
