  • Publication number: 20240220937
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, UI and computer program product embodiments for managing an autonomous vehicle (AV) multi-station maintenance cycle. The system determines an AV specific instance of the AV multi-station maintenance cycle, based on an evaluation of a current status of maintenance items for the AV, and matches the current status of the maintenance items to corresponding maintenance steps to be performed to complete the AV specific instance of the AV multi-station maintenance cycle. The system generates a schedule for performing ingestion and deployment of software maintenance items for the AV at one or more stations within the AV maintenance facility and assigns maintenance resources and dynamically modifies the schedule based on other AVs currently engaged in the current AV multi-station maintenance cycle.
