OptiFleet

Elevator Pitch: OptiFleet leverages cutting-edge AI to revolutionize urban transportation; it ensures an autonomous vehicle is always where you need it, when you need it. This isn’t just smart mobility—it’s mobility predicted.

Concept

AI-Driven Autonomous Fleet Rebalancing

Objective

To minimize the response time and improve the availability of autonomous mobility-on-demand services through optimal vehicle rebalancing.

Solution

Using advanced graph theory optimization and model predictive control (MPC) to efficiently redistribute autonomous vehicles within an urban environment.

Revenue Model

Subscription fees from MoD service providers, transaction-based pricing, or licensing of the software to vehicle manufacturers and mobility service platforms.

Target Market

Autonomous vehicle manufacturers, mobility service providers, smart city projects, and urban transportation planners.

Expansion Plan

Start with pilot cities, validate the system efficacy, and gradually expand to partnership with more cities and MoD providers.

Potential Challenges

Integration with varied city infrastructures, data privacy, and convincing stakeholders to adopt the system.

Customer Problem

Inefficient distribution of MoD vehicles resulting in longer wait times and poorer service coverage.

Regulatory and Ethical Issues

Compliance with transportation regulations, data protection laws, and ensuring ethical considerations in algorithmic decision-making.

Disruptiveness

Pioneering the use of graph theory and MPC in live urban environments for autonomous vehicle distribution, potentially setting a new industry standard.
