Abstract
A method includes determining, by an electronic control unit, at least one characteristic of cargo that is transported by an autonomous vehicle or a semi-autonomous vehicle. The method also includes determining a driving adaptation based at least on the at least one characteristic. The driving adaptation is selected from the group including a routing adaptation, a driving style adaptation, and an internal control adaptation. The method also includes configuring the vehicle to transport the cargo based at least on the determined driving adaptation.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, the method comprising:
- determining, by an electronic control unit, at least one characteristic of cargo that is transported by an autonomous vehicle or a semi-autonomous vehicle;
- determining a driving adaptation based at least on the at least one characteristic, wherein the driving adaptation is selected from a group consisting of a routing adaptation, a driving style adaptation, and an internal control adaptation;
- and
- configuring the vehicle to transport the cargo based at least on the determined driving adaptation.
A computer system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor system communicatively coupled to the memory;
- the processor system configured to perform a method comprising:
- determining at least one characteristic of cargo that is transported by an autonomous vehicle or a semi-autonomous vehicle;
- determining a driving adaptation based at least on the at least one characteristic, wherein the driving adaptation is selected from a group consisting of a routing adaptation, a driving style adaptation, and an internal control adaptation;
- and
- configuring the vehicle to transport the cargo based at least on the determined driving adaptation.
A computer program product comprising:
- a computer-readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions readable by a processor system to cause the processor system to perform a method comprising:
- determining, by an electronic control unit, at least one characteristic of cargo that is transported by an autonomous vehicle or a semi-autonomous vehicle;
- determining a driving adaptation based at least on the at least one characteristic, wherein the driving adaptation is selected from a group consisting of a routing adaptation, a driving style adaptation, and an internal control adaptation;
- and
- configuring the vehicle to transport the cargo based at least on the determined driving adaptation.
