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.
