Autonomous vehicle routing and navigation using passenger docking locations
First Claim
1. An autonomous vehicle comprising:
- a processor configured to execute instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium to;
identify map information representing a vehicle transportation network, the vehicle transportation network including a primary destination and a docking location, wherein identifying the map information includes identifying the map information such that the map information includes docking location information representing the docking location;
identify the docking location as a target docking location for the primary destination based on the map information; and
generate, based on the map information, route information representing a route for the autonomous vehicle to traverse the vehicle transportation network from an origin in the vehicle transportation network to the target docking location; and
a trajectory controller configured to operate the autonomous vehicle in accordance with the route information such that the autonomous vehicle traverses the vehicle transportation network from the origin to the target docking location.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for autonomous vehicle routing and navigation using passenger docking locations are disclosed. Autonomous vehicle routing and navigation using passenger docking locations may include an autonomous vehicle identifying map information representing a vehicle transportation network, the vehicle transportation network including a primary destination and a docking location, wherein identifying the map information includes identifying the map information such that the map information includes docking location information representing the docking location. The autonomous vehicle may identify the docking location as a target docking location for the primary destination based on the map information, generate, based on the map information, route information representing a route for the autonomous vehicle to traverse the vehicle transportation network from an origin in the vehicle transportation network to the target docking location, and traverse the vehicle transportation network from the origin to the target docking location in accordance with the route information.

15. An autonomous vehicle comprising:
-
a processor configured to execute instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium to; identify map information representing a vehicle transportation network, the vehicle transportation network including a primary destination and a docking location, wherein identifying the map information includes identifying the map information such that the map information includes docking location information representing the docking location, wherein the docking location information is based on operating information for a plurality of vehicles, wherein the operating information includes a plurality of operations, wherein each operation from the plurality of operations is associated with a respective vehicle from the plurality of vehicles, wherein the docking location information is determined based on the operating information by filtering the operating information, wherein filtering the operating information includes identifying an operation from the plurality of operations as a candidate docking operation on a condition that a stationary period associated with the operation exceeds a minimum docking duration and a maximum docking duration exceeds the stationary period; identify the docking location as a target docking location for the primary destination based on the map information; and generate, based on the map information, route information representing a route for the autonomous vehicle to traverse the vehicle transportation network from an origin in the vehicle transportation network to the target docking location; and a trajectory controller configured to operate the autonomous vehicle in accordance with the route information such that the autonomous vehicle traverses the vehicle transportation network from the origin to the target docking location. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

20. An autonomous vehicle comprising:
-
a processor configured to execute instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium to; identify map information representing a vehicle transportation network, the vehicle transportation network including a primary destination and a first docking location, wherein identifying the map information includes identifying the map information such that the map information includes docking location information representing the first docking location; identify the first docking location as a target docking location for the primary destination based on the map information; generate, based on the map information, first route information representing a first route for the autonomous vehicle to traverse the vehicle transportation network from an origin in the vehicle transportation network to the target docking location; identify, based on the map information, information representing a secondary destination in the vehicle transportation network, wherein the secondary destination is a parking area associated with the primary destination; and generate, based on the map information, second route information representing a second route for the autonomous vehicle to traverse the vehicle transportation network from the target docking location to the secondary destination; and a trajectory controller configured to; operate the autonomous vehicle in accordance with the first route information such that the autonomous vehicle traverses the vehicle transportation network from the origin to the target docking location; in response to the autonomous vehicle arriving at the target docking location, operate the autonomous vehicle such that the autonomous vehicle performs a docking operation at the target docking location; and in response to performing the docking operation at the target docking location, operate the autonomous vehicle in accordance with the second route information such that the autonomous vehicle traverses the vehicle transportation network from the target docking location to the secondary destination and parks at the secondary destination.
