Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include systems, methods, and devices to facilitate pick-up/drop-off zone (PDZ) handoffs between autonomous vehicles. Consistent with some embodiments, a pick-up/drop-off zone (PDZ) is located based on detecting a first autonomous vehicle stopped at a stopping location. A system determines, based on one or more criteria, whether to request the first autonomous vehicle to remain stopped at the stopping location to create an opportunity for a second autonomous vehicle to claim the PDZ. An amount of time for the first autonomous vehicle to remain stopped at the stopping location is determined based on the one or more criteria. A request to remain stopped at the stopping location is transmitted to a vehicle autonomy system of the first autonomous vehicle based on satisfaction of the one or more criteria. The request specifies the amount of time for the first autonomous vehicle to remain at the stopping location.

Abstract: A method for dispatching trips to a plurality of autonomous vehicles is disclosed. Operational design domain (ODD) parameters for an autonomous vehicle of a first vehicle type are derived based on vehicle movement data. The vehicle movement data describes a plurality of trips executed by a set of autonomous vehicles of the first vehicle type. A first ODD parameter of the ODD parameters is identified that meets a criterion. A first new trip is generated based on the identified ODD parameter. An autonomous vehicle is selected to execute the first new trip. A request to execute the first new trip is then sent to the selected autonomous vehicle.
