Associating passenger docking locations with destinations
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, andidentify a 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 route.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for associating passenger docking locations with destinations are disclosed. Associating passenger docking locations with destinations may include an autonomous vehicle identifying transportation network information representing a 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 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. The autonomous vehicle may determine a target docking location from the plurality of docking locations for the primary destination based on the transportation network information, identify a route from an origin to the target docking location, and travel from the origin to the target docking location using the route.

12. 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 the docking location information includes a set of docking locations from the plurality of docking locations, wherein each docking location from the set of docking locations is associated with the primary destination, and wherein a target docking location from the set of docking locations is associated with the primary destination by identifying a plurality of docking location clusters based on the set of docking locations and identifying the target docking location based on the plurality of docking location clusters, determine whether to use the target docking location based on the transportation network information, and identify a 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 route. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
