AUTONOMOUS PRODUCT DELIVERY VEHICLE FLEET MASTER-SLAVE RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT

摘要

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided herein for autonomous vehicles hierarchy management. In some embodiments, a system for autonomous product delivery vehicle fleet management comprises a locomotion system, a communication device, and a control circuit. The control circuit being configured to receive a request from a second autonomous vehicle to join the autonomous vehicle fleet, wherein the autonomous vehicle fleet comprises a master autonomous vehicle configured to coordinate tasks assigned to vehicles in the autonomous vehicle fleet, authenticate the second autonomous vehicle based on fleet rules stored in a hash chain database and update the hash chain database to add the second autonomous vehicle to the autonomous vehicle fleet, detect a master reassignment condition, and select an autonomous vehicle in the autonomous vehicle fleet as a new master autonomous vehicle based on master assignment rules stored in the hash chain database.
