Systems and methods for limiting autonomous vehicle requests

A computing system comprising:

• one or more processors executing a plurality of software services for facilitating one or more transportation services, the plurality of software services requestable by a plurality of vehicle providers to support transportation services to be provided by the plurality of vehicle providers;
• and
• one or more tangible, non-transitory, computer readable media that collectively store instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the computing system to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• obtaining data indicative of a request from a first vehicle provider for access to a software service, the software service being one of the plurality of software services, the first vehicle provider being associated with a first fleet of autonomous vehicles for providing the one or more transportation services;
• determining that the request is associated with a first vehicle provider of the plurality of vehicle providers, the first vehicle provider being associated with a first fleet of autonomous vehicles for providing one or more transportation services;
• obtaining a first fleet attribute describing an operational capability of the first fleet of autonomous vehicles;
• determining a rate limit corresponding to the request based, at least in part, on the first vehicle provider, the first fleet attribute, and the software service for routing autonomous vehicles, the rate limit describing a threshold number of requests from the first vehicle provider that are permitted to the software service for routing autonomous vehicles over a period of time;
• responding to the request using the software service executing at the computing system, the responding being based, at least in part, on a request history associated with the software service for routing autonomous vehicles and the rate limit corresponding to the request;
• and
• after responding to the request, initiating a transportation service to be executed by an autonomous vehicle of the first fleet of autonomous vehicles.

One or more tangible, non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-readable instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• obtaining a first fleet attribute describing an operational capability of the first fleet of autonomous vehicles;
• determining a rate limit corresponding to the request based, at least in part, on the first vehicle provider, the first fleet attribute, and the software service, the rate limit describing a threshold number of requests associated with the first vehicle provider that are permitted to the software service over a period of time;
• responding to the request using the software service, the responding being based, at least in part, on a request history associated with the software service and the rate limit corresponding to the request;
• and
• after responding to the request, initiating a transportation service to be executed by an autonomous vehicle of the first fleet of autonomous vehicles.
