    摘要: An autonomous transportation network (10) and method (100a, 100b, 100c) of operation is disclosed. The autonomous transportation network (10) comprises a plurality of autonomous vehicles (20) with an onboard processor (27) and vehicle memory (28) for locally calculating (240, 310) a route (50) between an origin (30) and a destination (40) and a vehicle antenna (25) for transmitting the calculated route (50). A control management center (100) comprises a control management processor (120) and a central memory (140) and independently calculates (250, 520) the routes (50) of the plurality of autonomous vehicles (20). A plurality of beacons (17) is connected to the control management center (100) and receives redirection information from the control management center (100) for transmission to one or more of the plurality of autonomous vehicles (20).

    摘要: A system for operation of an autonomous transportation network and a method of operation for a plurality of multi-featured autonomous vehicles are disclosed. The system comprises a road, a control management center and a plurality of multi-featured autonomous vehicles. The multi-featured autonomous vehicles include different types of vehicles for transportation of passengers or goods in the autonomous transportation network. The method of operation disclosed comprises selecting permissible routes from an origin to a destination for the multi-featured autonomous vehicles and predicting conflicts for the multi-featured autonomous vehicles. Conflict avoidance instructions are generated and are transmitted to the multi-featured autonomous vehicles using infrastructure elements. The method of operation comprises adjusting the route of the multi-featured autonomous vehicles (20) using corrected route instructions calculated by an onboard processor of the multi-featured autonomous vehicles.
