System-level optimization and mode suggestion platform for transportation trips

An apparatus comprising:

• one or more hardware processors to:
• receive sensor data from one or more sensors disposed on an autonomous vehicle (AV);
• receive identification of an origin (O) location and a destination (D) location of an O/D pair corresponding to a transportation trip request of a user;
• determine N pickup (PU) locations for the O location and N drop-off (DO) locations for the D location;
• determine a walking speed of the user based on the sensor data received from the AV;
• determine an origin walk duration between each of the N PU locations and the O location and a destination walk duration between each of the N DO locations and the D location based on the walking speed of the user;
• route between the N PU locations and the N DO locations to determine an estimate of time for each route;
• select a route that minimizes a route score, wherein the route score is based on a sum of the origin walk duration, the time, and the destination walk duration;
• and
• dispatch the AV to navigate to the PU location associated with the selected route to service the transportation trip request of the user.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• receive sensor data from one or more sensors disposed on an autonomous vehicle (AV);
• receive identification of an origin (O) location and a destination (D) location of an O/D pair corresponding to a transportation trip request of a user;
• determine N pickup (PU) locations for the O location and N drop-off (DO) locations for the D location;
• determine a walking speed of the user based on the sensor data received from the AV;
• determine an origin walk duration between each of the N PU locations and the O location and a destination walk duration between each of the N DO locations and the D location based on the walking speed of the user;
• route between the N PU locations and the N DO locations to determine an estimate of in-vehicle time for each route;
• select a route that minimizes a route score, wherein the route score is based on a sum of the origin walk duration, the time, and the destination walk duration;
• and
• dispatch the AV to navigate to the PU location associated with the selected route to service the transportation trip request of the user.
