Abstract
The inventive platform and method optimize efficiency of operation within the conveyance industry for goods, services and/or freight by providing for the filtering, selection and securing of conveyance services in accordance with one or more of client and operator preferences in substantially real time. An efficiency preference may be employed to pool conveyance services for optimizing vehicle utilization.
Claims49
A platform for optimizing utilization of an autonomous vehicle (“AV”) for efficiently providing a conveyance service for conveyance of a person or an object associated with a client order, wherein the AV is a self-governing machine that performs the conveyance service unaided by a human operator, the platform comprising:
- one or more external server in communication with a network, the one or more external server associated with a business entity that provides goods or services;
- a central server in communication with the network, wherein the central server is configured for receiving conveyance service requests (CSRs) from the one or more external server, the CSRs for conveyance of the client order from a first geographical location to at least one second geographical location, the CSRs associated with conveyance data comprising information relating to fulfillment of the client order, wherein the CSRs and the conveyance data are repeatedly updated;
- an application in communication with the network, the application configured for receiving one or a combination of a selected preference, geographical location data, and vehicle-related data;
- a display device in communication with the network, the display device configured to generate a visual representation comprising one or more of the CSRs, a geographical map having a vehicle marker indicating an AV location, the selected preference, and conveyance service information (CSI) comprising one or more of the conveyance data, the geographical location data, and the vehicle-related data;
- wherein one or a combination of the central server and the application is automated in whole or in part and further configured to aggregate at least a portion of the CSRs
- and after aggregating, to:
- (a) filter, one or a combination of, in any order:
- (i) at least a portion of the CSRs using one or a combination of the selected preference and the CSI to identify a filtered subset of CSRs;
- and
- (ii) at least a portion of the vehicle-related data using one or a combination of the selected preference, the CSRs, and the CSI to identify a filtered subset of vehicle-related data;
- (b) identify a match between one or more of the filtered subset of CSRs and the filtered subset of vehicle-related data and one or a combination of the selected preference, the CSRs, and the CSI;
- (c) secure the conveyance service associated with the match to define a secured conveyance service;
- (d) determine a route for the AV to perform the secured conveyance service from the first geographical location to the at least one second geographical location and communicate instructions to the AV, wherein the instructions comprise the route;
- and
- (e) dynamically update the visual representation to reflect changes in one or a combination of the secured conveyance service, the selected preference, the CSI, and the AV location;
- wherein the AV receives the instructions via the network and follows the route to perform the secured conveyance service unaided by a human operator.

A method using a platform within a network for optimizing utilization of an autonomous vehicle (“AV”) for efficiently providing a conveyance service for conveyance of a person or an object associated with a client order, wherein the AV is a self-governing machine that performs the conveyance service unaided by a human operator, the method comprising:
- (a) receiving within one or a combination of an application and a central server in communication with the network, one or a combination of, in any order:
- (i) conveyance service requests (CSRs) from one or more external server associated with a business entity that provides goods or services associated with the client order, the CSRs for conveyance of the client order from a first geographical location to at least one second geographical location, the CSRs associated with conveyance data comprising information relating to fulfillment of the client order, wherein the CSRs and the conveyance data are repeatedly updated;
- (ii) vehicle-related data;
- (iii) geographical location data;
- and
- (iv) a selected preference;
- (b) aggregating at least a portion of the CSRs;
- (c) displaying on a display device a visual representation comprising one or more of the CSRs, a geographical map having a vehicle marker indicating an AV location, the selected preference, and conveyance service information (CSI) comprising one or more of the conveyance data, the geographical location data, and the vehicle-related data:
- (d) processing at least a portion of the CSRs, the selected preference, and the CSI by:
- (i) filtering, in any order, at least a portion of the CSRs and the CSI to identify one or more of:
- (a) a filtered subset of CSRs using one or a combination of the selected preference and the CSI;
- and
- (b) a filtered subset of vehicle-related data using one or a combination of the selected preference, the CSRs, and the CSI;
- and
- (ii) identifying a match between one or more of the filtered subset of CSRs and the filtered subset of vehicle-related data and one or a combination of the selected preference, the CSRs, and the CSI;
- (e) securing the conveyance service associated with the match to define a secured conveyance service;
- (f) determining a route for the AV to perform the secured conveyance service from the first geographical location to the at least one second geographical location and communicate instructions to the AV, wherein the instructions comprise the route;
- and
- (g) dynamically updating the visual representation to reflect changes in one or a combination of the secured conveyance service, the selected preference, the CSI, and the AV location;
- wherein the AV receives the instructions via the network and follows the route to perform the secured conveyance service unaided by a human operator.
