Claim 14:
15. A method for determining a unique travel schedule for a specific autonomous vehicle, the method comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors of a centralized scheduling system, one or more notifications indicating an event has occurred, wherein the centralized scheduling system is in wireless communication with one or more autonomous vehicles including the specific autonomous vehicle and each autonomous vehicle collects image data related to one or more events including the event;
creating, by the one or more processors of the centralized scheduling system, an event pool that stores the one or more events;
comparing a predetermined route corresponding to the specific autonomous vehicle with a specific location corresponding to each event stored in the event pool to identify one or more filtered events, wherein the specific autonomous vehicle travels to the specific location corresponding to a filtered event when following the predetermined route;
determining the specific autonomous vehicle is present when the filtered event occurs based on the predetermined route and the specific location of the filtered event;
identifying a matched pair that includes the filtered event and the predetermined route for the specific autonomous vehicle; and
determining the unique travel schedule for the specific autonomous vehicle based on the matched pair, wherein the unique travel schedule directs the specific autonomous vehicle to the specific location of the filtered event to collect the image data related to the filtered event and wherein the specific autonomous vehicle follows the unique travel schedule by autonomously traveling to the specific location of the filtered event and a corresponding camera collects the image data at the specific location before the filtered event expires.
