TESTING A SCHEDULING SYSTEM FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES USING SIMULATIONS

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18955364 titled 'TESTING A SCHEDULING SYSTEM FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES USING SIMULATIONS

Original Abstract Submitted

Aspects of the disclosure provide for the evaluation of a scheduling system software for managing autonomous vehicle scheduling and dispatching. For instance, a problem condition for a simulation may be identified. The simulation may be run using the identified problem condition. The simulation may include a plurality of simulated autonomous vehicles each utilizing its own autonomous vehicle control software and map information common to each simulated autonomous vehicle. The problem condition may relate to a particular simulated autonomous vehicle of the plurality. Output of the simulation may be analyzed to determine a score for the scheduling system software. The scheduling system software may be evaluated using the score.
