- Appl. No: 18/531321
- Application Filed: December 06, 2023
- Claim: 1. A computer-based vehicular wear-leveling system comprising: at least one non-transitory computer readable memory storing software instructions and a plurality of vehicular operational profiles corresponding to a plurality of locations having different terrain types, wherein each vehicular operational profile in the set of vehicular operational profiles comprises location-based rules governing vehicular operation at a corresponding location based on a corresponding terrain type; and at least one hardware processor coupled with the at least one memory and that performs, upon execution of the software instructions, operations comprising: selecting, from the plurality of vehicular operational profiles, a particular vehicular operational profile based on a vehicular location of a vehicle in a physical environment; determining a terrain type of the physical environment based at least in part on the vehicular location; determining, based on the vehicular operational profile and the terrain type, an operational instruction set configured to reduce wear-leveling operation of the vehicle in the physical environment; and instructing the vehicle to operate according to the operational instruction set within the physical environment.
- Claim: 2. The system of claim 1, further comprising the vehicle.
- Claim: 3. The system of claim 2, wherein the vehicle comprises at least one of an unmanned vehicle, a drone, or a robot.
- Claim: 4. The system of claim 2, wherein the vehicle is configured to operate as an autonomous vehicle.
- Claim: 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the vehicle operates as at least one of the following types of vehicles: a maintenance vehicle, a refrigeration vehicle, a grounds keeping vehicle, a cargo carrying vehicle, a delivery vehicle, a pleasure vehicle, a personal transport vehicle, a bus, a boat, a lawn mower, or an emergency vehicle.
- Claim: 6. The system of claim 1, wherein the vehicle is a member of a fleet of vehicles located within the physical environment, and wherein the determining the operational instruction set comprises determining a plurality of operational instruction sets, comprising the operational instruction set, in a concerted manner for the fleet of vehicles.
- Claim: 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the operational instruction set accounts for wear leveling within the physical environment by restricting a number of vehicles in the physical environment.
- Claim: 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the operational instruction set accounts for wear leveling on the terrain type by restricting a maximum speed of the vehicle within the physical environment.
- Claim: 9. The system of claim 1, wherein the operational instruction set accounts for wear leveling on the terrain type by restricting a torque applied to a wheel of the vehicle within the physical environment.
- Claim: 10. The system of claim 1, wherein the operational instruction set accounts for wear leveling on the terrain type by permitting the at least one vehicle to pass through the physical environment along a specified path.
- Claim: 11. The system of claim 10, wherein the specified path is available for a period of time.
- Claim: 12. The system of claim 10, wherein the specified path is a pre-programmed path.
- Claim: 13. The system of claim 1, wherein the operational instruction set accounts for wear leveling on the terrain type via a proximity restriction.
- Claim: 14. The system of claim 13, wherein the proximity restriction restricts the vehicle from being proximate to at least one of the following: another vehicle, wildlife, a person, or a plant.
- Claim: 15. The system of claim 1, wherein the physical environment comprises at least one of the following types of environments: a college campus, an apartment complex, a golf course, an amusement park, a military base, a city, a natural park, or a retirement community.
- Claim: 16. The system of claim 1, wherein the operational instruction set accounts for wear leveling on the terrain type by restricting access to a terrain within the physical environment and associated with the terrain type based on a physical feature of the terrain.
- Claim: 17. The system of claim 16, wherein the physical feature comprises a natural feature.
- Claim: 18. The system of claim 16, wherein the physical feature comprises a man-made feature.
- Claim: 19. The system of claim 1, wherein the vehicular location comprises at least one of the following: a geo-location, a GPS coordinate, an S2 cell, a geo-fenced area, a zip code, and a city.
- Claim: 20. The system of claim 1, wherein the different terrain types include at least two of the following: a turf terrain type, a sand terrain type, a grass terrain type, a desert terrain type, a wet terrain type, a pavement terrain type, a snow terrain type, an ice terrain type, a mud terrain type, a forest terrain type, a farm terrain type, or a lawn terrain type.
- Claim: 21. The system of claim 1, wherein the operations further include presenting wear leveling information on a display.
- Claim: 22. A method comprising: detecting, by a computer system, a vehicle within a fleet of vehicle located within a physical environment corresponding to a terrain type based on a vehicle location of the vehicle; selecting, from a plurality of vehicular operational profiles corresponding to different terrain type, a particular vehicular operational profile based on the vehicular location of a vehicle and the terrain type corresponding to the physical environment; determining, by the computer system and based on the vehicular operational profile and the terrain type, an operational instruction set configured to reduce wear-leveling operation of the vehicle in the physical environment; and instructing, by the computer system, the vehicle to operate according to the operational instruction set within the physical environment.
- Claim: 23. A computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-readable instructions executable to cause a computer system to perform operations comprising: detecting a vehicle within a fleet of vehicle located within a physical environment corresponding to a terrain type based on a vehicle location of the vehicle; selecting, from a plurality of vehicular operational profiles corresponding to different terrain type, a particular vehicular operational profile based on the vehicular location of a vehicle and the terrain type corresponding to the physical environment; determining, based on the vehicular operational profile and the terrain type, an operational instruction set configured to reduce wear-leveling operation of the vehicle in the physical environment; and instructing the vehicle to operate according to the operational instruction set within the physical environment.
