Controlling autonomous vehicles to provide automated emergency response functions
First Claim
1. A computing platform comprising:
- at least one processor;
a communication interface communicatively coupled to the at least one processor; and
memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing platform to;
receive, via the communication interface, vehicle data associated with a first non-autonomous vehicle from a first on-board vehicle monitoring system associated with the first non-autonomous vehicle;
detect an occurrence of an emergency at a first location based on the vehicle data associated with the first non-autonomous vehicle received from the first on-board vehicle monitoring system associated with the first non-autonomous vehicle;
select a first autonomous vehicle to respond to the emergency at the first location based on autonomous vehicle state information;
generate one or more dispatch commands directing the first autonomous vehicle to move to the first location and execute one or more emergency response functions; and
send, via the communication interface, to a first on-board autonomous vehicle control system associated with the first autonomous vehicle, the one or more dispatch commands directing the first autonomous vehicle to move to the first location and execute the one or more emergency response functions,wherein sending the one or more dispatch commands to the first on-board autonomous vehicle control system associated with the first autonomous vehicle causes the first on-board autonomous vehicle control system associated with the first autonomous vehicle to drive the first autonomous vehicle to the first location.

Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure relate to controlling autonomous vehicles to provide automated emergency response functions. A computing platform may receive vehicle data associated with a vehicle from an on-board vehicle monitoring system associated with the vehicle. Subsequently, the computing platform may detect an occurrence of an emergency at a location. Thereafter, the computing platform may select an autonomous vehicle to respond to the emergency at the location based on autonomous vehicle state information. Then, the computing platform may generate one or more dispatch commands directing the autonomous vehicle to move to the location and execute one or more emergency response functions. Subsequently, the computing platform may send, to an on-board autonomous vehicle control system associated with the autonomous vehicle, the one or more dispatch commands directing the autonomous vehicle to move to the location and execute the one or more emergency response functions.

19. A method comprising:
-
at a computing platform comprising at least one processor, memory, and a communication interface; receiving, by the at least one processor, via the communication interface, vehicle data associated with a first non-autonomous vehicle from a first on-board vehicle monitoring system associated with the first non-autonomous vehicle; detecting, by the at least one processor, an occurrence of an emergency at a first location based on the vehicle data associated with the first non-autonomous vehicle received from the first on-board vehicle monitoring system associated with the first non-autonomous vehicle; selecting, by the at least one processor, a first autonomous vehicle to respond to the emergency at the first location based on autonomous vehicle state information; generating, by the at least one processor, one or more dispatch commands directing the first autonomous vehicle to move to the first location and execute one or more emergency response functions; and sending, by the at least one processor, via the communication interface, to a first on-board autonomous vehicle control system associated with the first autonomous vehicle, the one or more dispatch commands directing the first autonomous vehicle to move to the first location and execute the one or more emergency response functions, wherein sending the one or more dispatch commands to the first on-board autonomous vehicle control system associated with the first autonomous vehicle causes the first on-board autonomous vehicle control system associated with the first autonomous vehicle to drive the first autonomous vehicle to the first location.
