Patent attributes
The disclosure relates to assessing impact of blockages on an autonomous vehicle transportation service. An example method may include identifying a plurality of starting and destination location pairs within a service area; running a first plurality of simulations by determining a first route for each of the plurality of pairs without including a first blockage in the service area; determining a first summary for each determined first route identifying a length of time to complete that determined route; running a second plurality of simulations by determining a second route for each of the plurality of pairs and including the first blockage in the service area; determining a second summary for each determined second route identifying a length of time to complete that determined route; and comparing the determined first summaries with the determined second summaries in order to assess an impact of the first blockage on the service.
