Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for preventing a loss of throughput data connectivity from one or more active autonomous vehicles of the fleet communicating with a back office network by: collecting an average aggregate of the throughput data from the one or more active AVs communicating with the back office network; updating a set of records in a throughput data table corresponding to a plurality of mapped AV routes for the one or more active AVs, by processing a throughput data table record in the temporary buffer of updated throughput data to eliminate identified duplicate or out-of-date throughput data recorded in the throughput data table; and determining, by the back office network, whether one or more of the AV route segments or the final drop-off location exhibits the effect of an instance of the loss of throughput data connectivity between the AV and the back office network.
