Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for generating and transmitting autonomous vehicle prepositioning instructions to improve network coverage. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems subdivide a geographic transportation service area into subregions, generate a set of waypoints and circuits for the subregions. Moreover, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems utilize an optimization model to assign autonomous vehicles to the set of waypoints and circuits and transmit digital prepositioning instructions to the autonomous vehicles to traverse the waypoints and circuits.
