Claim 0:
1. An event scheduling system for collecting image data related to one or more events by one or more autonomous vehicles, wherein the event scheduling system comprises:
a centralized scheduling system in wireless communication with the one or more autonomous vehicles, wherein each autonomous vehicle collects the image data related to the one or more events while following a unique travel schedule by a corresponding camera, and wherein the centralized scheduling system includes one or more processors that execute instructions to:
receive one or more notifications indicating an event that is part of the one or more events has occurred;
create an event pool that stores the one or more events;
compare a predetermined route corresponding to a specific autonomous vehicle of the one or more autonomous vehicles with a specific location corresponding to each event stored in the event pool to identify one or more filtered events;
determine the specific autonomous vehicle is present when a filtered event occurs based on the predetermined route and the specific location of the filtered event;
identify a matched pair that includes the filtered event and the predetermined route for the specific autonomous vehicle; and
determine 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, and wherein the specific autonomous vehicle follows the unique travel schedule by autonomously traveling to the specific location of the filtered event and the corresponding camera collects the image data at the specific location before the filtered event expires.
