  • Publication number: 20220171394
    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling autonomous vehicle test trips are provided. In one example embodiment, a computer implemented method includes obtaining, by a computing system, data indicative of a test trip index associated with an autonomous vehicle. The test trip index includes a plurality of test trips for the autonomous vehicle and each test trip is associated with one or more test trip parameters. The method includes obtaining, by the computing system, data indicating that the autonomous vehicle is available to travel in accordance with at least one of the test trips of the test trip index. The method includes selecting, by the computing system and from the test trip index, at least one selected test trip for the autonomous vehicle. The method includes causing, by the computing system, the autonomous vehicle to travel in accordance with the test trip parameters associated with the at least one selected test trip.

  • Publication number: 20190220036
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing a fleet of vehicles are provided. In one example embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes obtaining data representing vehicle state information associated with one or more vehicles among a fleet of vehicles at one or more times. The method includes predicting a future vehicle state associated with the one or more vehicles at one or more future times. The method includes scheduling a vehicle assignment in a predetermined set of vehicle assignments for a selected vehicle among the one or more vehicles before a first future time among the one or more future times. The method includes transmitting a command signal to a computing system associated with the selected vehicle based at least in part on the scheduled vehicle assignment.
