==COORDINATED SCHEDULING OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS TO ENHANCE AVAILABILITY AND UTILIZATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17942099 titled 'COORDINATED SCHEDULING OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS TO ENHANCE AVAILABILITY AND UTILIZATION

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract of the patent application describes a method for managing the movement of vehicles at a charging station. This involves determining when a vehicle has completed charging, sending authorization to move the vehicle autonomously, and providing a location for the vehicle to move to.

* Determining the completion of charging for a vehicle at a charging bay
* Sending authorization for autonomous movement of the vehicle
* Providing a location for the vehicle to move to

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in various industries such as electric vehicle charging stations, autonomous vehicle management systems, and smart transportation networks.

== Problems Solved ==
1. Efficient management of vehicle movement at charging stations
2. Streamlining the process of transitioning vehicles after charging

== Benefits ==
1. Reducing congestion at charging stations
2. Improving overall efficiency of vehicle charging and movement processes

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
'''Optimizing Vehicle Movement at Charging Stations'''

== Unanswered Questions ==
=== How does the system ensure the safety of autonomous vehicle movement after charging? ===
The patent abstract does not provide details on the safety measures implemented to ensure the secure movement of vehicles post-charging.

=== What communication protocols are used between the server and the vehicles for authorization and location updates? ===
The abstract does not specify the specific communication protocols utilized in the described operation.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An example operation includes one or more of: determining, by a server, a time when a vehicle at a charging bay of a charging station has completed charging, sending, by the server, an authorization to autonomously move the vehicle after the time, and providing, by the server, a location to move the vehicle.
