Abstract
A computer-implemented method is disclosed for managing personal mobility vehicles (PMVs) across a geographic region. One or more sensor-equipped vehicles traverse the region and collect sensor data, which is used by a computing system to determine the respective state and location of PMVs. Based on these determinations, the system generates a utilization value for the PMVs and compares it to a predefined utilization metric reflecting desired deployment levels. The system then provides instructions to reposition PMVs within the region to satisfy the utilization metric, enabling automated, demand-responsive fleet balancing and reduced reliance on manual monitoring.
