rideOS provides an end-to-end mobility solution, with flexible routing, optimization, and dispatch technologies.

Description:
The rideOS platform provides an end-to-end mobility solution, with flexible routing, optimization, and dispatch technologies. The entire stack leverages a state-of-the-art routing engine with support for custom maps, dynamic operational domain limitations, and tunable costing of roads and turns. rideOS can combine the customization with real-time traffic awareness for better route optimization and accurate travel time estimation.

Analysis:
Developers of autonomous vehicles want to deploy their vehicles to do productive work in a fleet. However, their core competencies are in robotics, safety, and manufacturing. Mobility service providers want to welcome automated vehicles into their fleets, but they often license routing technologies that assume all vehicles are human-operated.

Such atypical routing decisions introduce fleet efficiency challenges that are not handled by most mobility platforms. Dispatch decisions are challenging when route predictions are wrong, and individual vehicle performance suffers when vehicles follow naive routes within their limited operational domains. These barriers to deployment can be broken down by the rideOS platform to help get autonomous vehicles doing efficient and productive work. – Steve Crowe
