    摘要: In a vehicle dispatch management system which manages a plurality of shared vehicles (2) and dispatches the shared vehicles in response to a dispatch request from a user, the vehicle dispatch management system includes: an individual cruising distance calculation device (22) configured to calculate a cruising distance of each of the shared vehicles; a total cruising distance calculation device (17) configured to calculate a total cruising distance of all of the shared vehicles; an energy supply determination device (18) configured to determine a necessity of traveling energy supply of the shared vehicle when the total cruising distance is equal to or less than a first predetermined value; and a supply instruction device (19) configured to instruct a supply instruction to the shared vehicle determined to be supplied on the basis of determining the necessity of traveling energy supply of the shared vehicle.

    摘要: An autonomous vehicle may determine that it has an amount of power remaining projected to be needed to reach a recharging point by autonomously traveling with predefined systems disabled. The vehicle may disable the predefined systems and travel towards the recharging point. Subsequent to the disabling, the autonomous vehicle may determine that it no longer has the amount of power remaining projected to be needed to reach the recharging point. The vehicle may then communicate with a server and request assistance. The vehicle may then travel to an instructed rendezvous point with a second autonomous vehicle, the rendezvous received from the server. The two vehicles may then communicate to allow the first vehicle to leverage a capability of the second autonomous vehicle, responsive to the first and second autonomous vehicles being within communication range, allowing the first vehicle to reach the recharging point via the leveraging.

    摘要: A system for electrical charging of a first vehicle by a second vehicle includes a network access device to communicate with a first source that includes at least one of the first vehicle or a mobile device associated with a user of the first vehicle. The system further includes a processor coupled to the network access device that is designed to receive a charge request from the first source via the network access device, the charge request requesting access to a source of electrical energy for charging the first vehicle. The processor is further designed to identify an available vehicle that is available to be used as the source of electrical energy for charging the first vehicle. The processor is further designed to control the network access device to transmit available vehicle information corresponding to the available vehicle to the first source in response to receiving the charge request.

    摘要: The subject disclosure relates to techniques for optimizing autonomous vehicle activities at a fleet level. A process of the disclosed technology can include measuring a first set of cost metrics for a first plurality of autonomous vehicles (AVs) associated with a first vehicle routing version, wherein the first set of cost metrics comprises energy consumption values for two or more of the first plurality of AVs, measuring a second set of cost metrics for a second plurality of AVs associated with a second vehicle routing version, wherein the second set of cost metrics comprises energy consumption values for two or more of the second plurality of AVs, and comparing the first set of cost metrics with the second set of cost metrics to determine routing updates configured to reduce fleetwide energy consumption.
