Spatial Optimization of Autonomous Vehicle Assignment Based on Distance-Driven Demand and Customer Patience
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) can improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance road safety. They optimize traffic flow, minimize congestion, and support sustainability through shared mobility and reduced fuel consumption. A key challenge in AV deployment is allocating vehicles to parking lots across regions to meet fluctuating demand. Proper allocation reduces delays, lowers costs, and boosts user satisfaction by ensuring timely vehicle availability. This paper explores the impact of customer wait…
