PASSENGER DOCKING LOCATION SELECTION
First Claim
1. An autonomous vehicle comprising:
- a processor configured to execute instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium to;
identify transportation network information representing a vehicle transportation network, the vehicle transportation network including a primary destination, wherein identifying the transportation network information includes identifying the transportation network information such that the transportation network information includes docking location information representing a plurality of docking locations, wherein each docking location from the plurality of docking locations corresponds with a respective location in the vehicle transportation network, and such that at least one docking location from the plurality of docking locations is associated with the primary destination,determine a target docking location from the plurality of docking locations for the primary destination based on the transportation network information and pedestrian travel time, andidentify a first route from an origin to the target docking location in the vehicle transportation network using the transportation network information; and
a trajectory controller configured to operate the autonomous vehicle to travel from the origin to the target docking location using the first route.
