Managing autonomous vehicles needing energy replenishment
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for managing autonomous vehicles, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- collecting, by a computer, autonomous vehicle energy data and travel data;
determining, by the computer, a plurality of autonomous vehicles that need energy replenishment within a defined geographic area;
determining, by the computer, a rank for each of the plurality of autonomous vehicles that need energy replenishment within the defined geographic area to meet passenger-defined travel destination time constraints; and
directing, by the computer, each autonomous vehicle to an energy station in a set of energy stations within the defined geographic area to meet the passenger-defined travel destination time constraints based on the rank of each of the plurality of autonomous vehicles.

Abstract
Managing autonomous vehicles is provided. Autonomous vehicle energy data and travel data are collected. A plurality of autonomous vehicles that need energy replenishment within a defined geographic area is determined. A rank is determined for each of the plurality of autonomous vehicles that need energy replenishment within the defined geographic area to meet passenger-defined travel destination time constraints. Each autonomous vehicle is directed to an energy station in a set of energy stations within the defined geographic area to the meet passenger-defined travel destination time constraints based on the rank of each of the plurality of autonomous vehicles.
