Abstract:
In an example, the autonomous vehicle (“AV”) can be configured among the other vehicles and railway to communicate with a rider on a peer to peer basis to pick up the rider on demand from a location on a railway track, rather than the rider being held hostage to a fixed railway schedule. The rider can have an application on his/her cell phone, which tracks each of the AVs, and contact them using the application on the cell phone. In an example, the AV is configured for both on-track and off track operation with different operating parameters for on-track and off track.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for moving an autonomous vehicle among a plurality of vehicles configured on a railway track system or adjacent interacting systems consisting of a roadway, a waterway, or any combination thereof, the method comprising:\n initiating movement of the autonomous vehicle configured in a rail of the railway system, the autonomous vehicle comprising a sensor array system configured spatially on the autonomous vehicle (AV), the sensor array system comprising a plurality of active sensor systems; at least one processor device coupled to the sensor array system; a memory device coupled to the processing device; an instruction stored on the memory device, the instruction when executed by the processor causes the sensor array system to, as the AV travels a current route on the rail of the railway track system, dynamically detect a reflectance of an event from a plurality of events, the event being selected from an anomaly, a stationary feature, or a location of one of the other plurality of vehicles; and using data from the reflectance of the event or the plurality of events to adjust a movement of the AV in relationship to the event, while the AV is mechanically disconnected from the plurality of vehicles configured on the rail of the railway system; and monitoring each of the AVs using a central database in real time, while collecting information associated each AVs in the central database; and moving the AV to an adjacent system configured with the rail, the adjacent system comprising at least one of a roadway, a waterway, or any combination thereof, such that the processor device coupled to the sensor array system executes an instruction stored on the memory device causing the sensor array system to, as the AV travels a current route on the adjacent system, dynamically detect a reflectance of an event from a plurality of events, the event being selected from an anomaly, a stationary feature, or a location of one of the other plurality of vehicles; and using data from the reflectance of the event or the plurality of events to adjust a movement of the AV in relationship to the event, while the AV is mechanically disconnected from the rail of the railway system.
