SYSTEM AND METHOD TO CONDITION VEHICLE AVAILABILITY ON DEMAND
First Claim
1. A system to condition vehicle availability as a function of demand, the system comprising:
- a memory configured to comprise one or more executable instructions;
a controller configured to execute the executable instructions;
a plurality of vehicles each of which comprise a vehicle system and are configured to communicate with the controller, the vehicle system configured to generate vehicle resource data; and
wherein the executable instructions enable the controller to;
receive vehicle resource data from each vehicle of the plurality of vehicles;
assess the number of available vehicles, wherein each available vehicle comprises vehicle resources above or equal to a vehicle resource baseline;
receive one or more rideshare task requests, wherein the received rideshare task requests are compiled as a demand indicator;
determine whether the demand indicator falls above or below the number of available vehicles; and
adjust the vehicle resource baseline based upon whether the demand indicator falls above or below the number of available vehicles.

Abstract
A system to condition vehicle availability as a function of demand. The system includes a memory, controller, and plurality of vehicles. The memory includes one or more executable instructions. The controller executes the executable instructions. Each vehicle includes a vehicle system and can communicate with the controller. The vehicle system generates vehicle resource data. Moreover, the executable instructions enable the controller to: receive vehicle resource data from each vehicle of the plurality of vehicles; assess the number of available vehicles, wherein each available vehicle includes vehicle resources above or equal to a vehicle resource baseline; receive one or more rideshare task requests, wherein the received rideshare task requests are compiled as a demand indicator; determine whether the demand indicator falls above or below the number of available vehicles; and adjust the vehicle resource baseline based upon whether the demand indicator falls above or below the number of available vehicles.

14. A non-transitory and machine-readable medium having stored thereon executable instructions adapted to condition vehicle availability as a function of demand, which when provided to a controller and executed thereby, causes the controller to:
-
receive vehicle resource data from a plurality of vehicles; assess the number of available vehicles within the plurality of vehicles, wherein each available vehicle comprises vehicle resources above or equal to a vehicle resource baseline; receive one or more rideshare task requests, wherein the received rideshare task requests are compiled as a demand indicator; determine whether the demand indicator falls above or below the number of available vehicles; and adjust the vehicle resource baseline based upon whether the demand indicator falls above or below the number of available vehicles.
