This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18480861 titled 'METHOD FOR DETERMINING OPTIMAL MACHINE PERFORMANCE DURING AUTONOMOUS OPERATION
Original Abstract Submitted
A method or system for managing autonomous vehicle operations includes receiving inputs including a task command for an autonomous mobile machine, determining an expected travel trajectory for the autonomous mobile machine to perform the task command, and determining an actual travel trajectory of the mobile machine during performance of the task command. The method or system further includes comparing the actual travel trajectory to the expected travel trajectory, and identifying an incident limiting factor responsible for a deviation between the actual travel trajectory and the expected travel, wherein comparing the actual travel trajectory is repeated at predetermined intervals during performance of the task command.
