Network aware optimal route selection for autonomous applications

A method of facilitating optimal route selection for an autonomous vehicle in a network, comprising:

• identifying an initial route for an autonomous vehicle using a mapping mechanism;
• submitting the initial route for the autonomous vehicle to an optimal route selection engine through a cloud solution;
• and
• receiving a revised network optimal route for the autonomous vehicle from the cloud solution.

A non-transitory computer storage media storing computer-useable instructions that, when used by one or more processors, cause the processors to:

• identify an initial route for an autonomous UE, wherein identify the initial route includes instructions to identify at least one geospatial hex bin and at least one associated node along the initial route;
• identify at least one flow quality of service (QoS) value, wherein the at least one flow QoS value comprises a priority of at least one service;
• identify the at least one geospatial hex bin and the at least one associated node with the at least one flow QoS value greater than an operator defined threshold;
• mark the identified at least one geospatial hex bin and the at least one associated node as an exclusion zone;
• and
• calculate a first revised optimal route, wherein the first revised optimal route excludes the exclusion zone.
