First Claim
1. A dispatch system for autonomous vehicles, comprising:
- a plurality of autonomous vehicles, automatically dispatched according to at least one transportation request message, wherein each of the autonomous vehicles comprises;
a communication unit, configured to obtain a vehicle location information of itself, and configured to communicate with other autonomous vehicles; and
a control unit, coupled to the communication unit, configured to obtain a vehicle available information of itself, and controlling driving of the autonomous vehicle; and
a dispatch control center, configured to control dispatch of the autonomous vehicles, wherein when the dispatch control center receives the transportation request massage, the dispatch control center performs an optimised scheduling assignment according to the transportation request massage, the vehicle location information and the vehicle available information of the autonomous vehicles, and generates a scheduling signal for transmitting to the autonomous vehicles according to the optimised scheduling assignment, so as to assign one of the autonomous vehicles as a designated dispatch vehicle for transportation.

Abstract
A dispatch system for autonomous vehicle is provided. The dispatch system includes a plurality of autonomous vehicles respectively including a communication unit and a control unit. The communication unit obtains a vehicle location information of itself, and communicates with other autonomous vehicles. The control unit obtains a vehicle available information of itself. One of the autonomous vehicles is selected as a dispatch control center for controlling scheduling of all autonomous vehicles. When the dispatch control center receives a transportation request massage, the dispatch control center performs an optimized scheduling assignment and thus generates a scheduling signal. The scheduling signal is transmitted to the other autonomous vehicles by the communication unit, so as to assign one of the autonomous vehicles as a designated vehicle for transportation.
