Abstract

A method for routing an autonomous vehicle from a start location to a target destination location via a set of road segments is provided. The method includes determining at least two candidate routes comprising a respective subset of the set of road segments. Each of the at least two candidate routes indicates how the autonomous vehicle shall travel from the start location, to arrive at the target destination location within a time interval of a target time of arrival. The method determines a flexibility metric for each of the at least two candidate routes indicative of a possible time adjustment when adjusting a speed of the autonomous vehicle. The method selects a route based on the determined flexibility metrics.
