Abstract
Method, storage medium and system of optimizing a destination for a vehicle by obtaining a map corresponding to a desired destination of the vehicle and identifying objectives of the map based on multiple parameters including collision avoidance, driver time, legal constraints and social consensus. A cost function is constructed to determine an optimal destination based on a proximity to the desired destination and the identified objectives, and an optimal destination is identified by minimizing a value of the cost function.
Claims20
A method of optimizing a destination for a vehicle, comprising:
- obtaining a map corresponding to a desired destination of the vehicle;
- identifying objectives of the map based on multiple parameters including collision avoidance, driver time, legal constraints and social consensus;
- constructing a cost function to determine an optimal destination based on a proximity to the desired destination and the identified objectives;
- and
- identifying the optimal destination of the vehicle by minimizing a value of the cost function.
A storage medium including executable instructions, that when executed by a processor performs a method of optimizing a destination for a vehicle, the method comprising:
- obtaining a map corresponding to a desired destination of the vehicle;
- identifying objectives of the map based on multiple parameters including collision avoidance, driver time, legal constraints and social consensus;
- constructing a cost function to determine an optimal destination based on a proximity to the desired destination and the identified objectives;
- and
- identifying the optimal destination of the vehicle by minimizing a value of the cost function.
A system including a processor to optimize a destination for a vehicle, the system comprising:
- a map module configured to obtain a map corresponding to a desired destination of the vehicle;
- an identification module configured to identify objectives of the map based on multiple parameters including collision avoidance, driver time, legal constraints and social consensus;
- a cost function module configured to construct a cost function to determine an optimal destination based on a proximity to the desired destination and the identified objectives;
- and
- a destination module configured to identify the optimal destination of the vehicle by minimizing a value of the cost function.
