Abstract: Autonomous vehicle operational management may include traversing, by an autonomous vehicle, a vehicle transportation network. Traversing the vehicle transportation network may include operating a scenario-specific operational control evaluation module instance, wherein the scenario-specific operational control evaluation module instance is an instance of a scenario-specific operational control evaluation module, wherein the scenario-specific operational control evaluation module implements a partially observable Markov decision process. Traversing the vehicle transportation network may include receiving a candidate vehicle control action from the scenario-specific operational control evaluation module instance, and traversing a portion of the vehicle transportation network based on the candidate vehicle control action.

Abstract: Autonomous vehicle operational management may include an autonomous vehicle traversing a vehicle transportation network, which may include operating a scenario-specific operational control evaluation module instance, which is an instance of a scenario-specific operational control evaluation module instantiated for an occurrence of a distinct vehicle operational scenario by allocating computing resources to, and populating, the scenario-specific operational control evaluation module instance with operational environment information corresponding to the occurrence of the distinct vehicle operational scenario.

Abstract: Autonomous vehicle operational management including blocking monitoring may include traversing, by an autonomous vehicle, a vehicle transportation network. Traversing the vehicle transportation network may include operating a blocking monitor instance, which may include identifying operational environment information including information corresponding to a first external object within a defined distance of the autonomous vehicle, determining a first area of the vehicle transportation network based on a current geospatial location of the autonomous vehicle in the vehicle transportation network and an identified route for the autonomous vehicle, and determining a probability of availability for the first area based on the operational environment information. Traversing the vehicle transportation network may include traversing a portion of the vehicle transportation network based on the probability of availability.
