Abstract
A system configured to cause a vehicle to autonomously maneuver to a safe haven during a triggering event includes a communication component configured to receive parameters corresponding with conditions of the triggering event and, based on the parameters and on characteristics of the safe haven, instruct the vehicle to maneuver to the safe haven.
Claims20
One or more non-transitory, computer readable media comprising instructions stored thereon that, when executed by processing circuitry, are configured to cause the processing circuitry to:
- receive first data indicative of an area affected by, or projected to be affected by, a weather-related triggering event;
- receive vehicle data indicative of a vehicle location of an autonomous vehicle, the vehicle location being within the area;
- receive second data indicative of a plurality of capacities corresponding to a respective plurality of safe havens within or proximate to the area and while the autonomous vehicle is remote from the respective plurality of safe havens;
- select, based on the first data, the second data, and the vehicle data, a safe haven of the respective plurality of safe havens;
- and
- direct the autonomous vehicle to the safe haven.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, via processing circuitry, first data indicative of an area affected by, or projected to be affected by, a weather-related triggering event;
- receiving, via the processing circuitry, vehicle data indicative of a vehicle location of an autonomous vehicle, the vehicle location being within the area;
- receiving, via the processing circuitry, second data indicative of a plurality of capacities corresponding to a respectively plurality of safe havens within or proximate to the area and while the autonomous vehicle is remote from the respective plurality of safe havens;
- selecting, via the processing circuitry and based on the first data, the second data, and the vehicle data, a safe haven of the respective plurality of safe havens;
- and
- directing, via the processing circuitry, the autonomous vehicle to the safe haven.
