Abstract: Aspects and implementations of the present disclosure relate, generally, to optimization of autonomous vehicle (AV) technology and, more specifically, to a transfer hub for autonomous trucking operations. In one example, the disclosed techniques include obtaining, at a first time, one or more first images of an outside environment of an AV and shutting down a data processing system of the AV. The techniques further include initiating a starting-up of the data processing system of the AV and obtaining, at a second time, one or more second images of the outside environment of the AV. The techniques further include determining, based on a comparison of the one or more first images to the one or more second images, that the AV has not moved between the first time and the second time and completing the starting-up of the data processing system of the AV.

Abstract: Aspects and implementations of the present disclosure relate, generally, to optimization of the autonomous vehicle technology and, more specifically, to a transfer hub for autonomous trucking operations. The transfer hub supports automated trailer delivery, trailer-tractor matching, trailer-tractor hitching, automated post-hitching visual inspection, automated refueling, parking spot calibration, load verification, load distribution assessment, automated brake inspection, and other improvements to the existing technology.
