Autonomous vehicle routing based upon spatiotemporal factors

Various technologies described herein pertain to routing autonomous vehicles based upon spatiotemporal factors. A computing system receives an origin location and a destination location of an autonomous vehicle. The computing system identifies a route for the autonomous vehicle to follow from the origin location to the destination location based upon output of a spatiotemporal statistical model. The spatiotemporal statistical model is generated based upon historical data from autonomous vehicles when the autonomous vehicles undergo operation-influencing events. The spatiotemporal statistical model takes, as input, a location, a time, and a direction of travel of the autonomous vehicle. The spatiotemporal statistical model outputs a score that is indicative of a likelihood that the autonomous vehicle will undergo an operation-influencing event due to the autonomous vehicle encountering a spatiotemporal factor along a candidate route. The autonomous vehicle then follows the route from the origin location to the destination location.

Approaches for determining scheduling assignments for the movement of people along a multi-segment path from a starting location to a destination location, are used to manage crowds, predict crowd behavior, and mitigate crowd turbulence. For example, to mitigate crowd congestion, routing solutions specifying an amount of time to spend at a destination and a departure time can be provided. Itinerary assignments, crowd data, and data associated with an event can be analyzed and weighted to determine scheduling assignments. Scheduling assignments can be validated against current crowd data and event data. Current crowd data and event data and crowd simulation can be used to predict future crowd behavior or crowd problems. Scheduling assignments can be rescheduled to mitigate crowd problems or emergencies.

Coordinating and learning maps dynamically

A vehicle behavior monitor installed in a host vehicle that monitors the behavior of other vehicles. When the behavior of the other vehicles appears to deviate from an expected trajectory of an in-vehicle map, a geo-fenced region is monitored by external sensors. The external sensor data stream is input to a pre-trained anomaly detector. The clusters from the feature space of the encoder are compared to a database of known behaviors. A confidence level is determined based on the number of vehicles which exhibit the behavior. If the confidence level is equal to or greater than a confidence level threshold, a persistence value is calculate based on the type of behavior. The behavior and the persistence value are used to update the in-vehicle map. Based on the persistence value, the update is transmitted to a map server when the host vehicle enters an area of high data connectivity or is dropped.
