Abstract
A method for controlling vehicle movement includes: obtaining, by a vehicle, at least one radio frequency (RF) signal metric for a plurality of RF signals broadcasted in a manufacturing environment; broadcasting, by the vehicle, a vehicle message when the at least one RF signal metric satisfies at least one RF communication issue condition; generating, by an infrastructure system, an RF map based on the vehicle message and at least one additional vehicle message from at least one additional vehicle; and dynamically adjusting an infrastructure message, by the infrastructure system, based on the RF map when the vehicle autonomously navigates within the manufacturing environment.
