Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to method and system for autonomous vehicles management in an operating environment. The method may include sending a route plan in response to a request received by an autonomous vehicle from amongst a plurality of autonomous vehicles in an operating environment including one or more devices, wherein the one or more device comprises device or device space. The method may further include categorizing the route plan into path segments, the path segments including a first path segment including one or more nodes from the plurality of nodes being inside a device zone of the one or more devices and a second path segment including one or more nodes from the plurality of nodes being outside the device zone of the one or more devices. The method may further include determining a type of path segment from the categorized path segments for each of the node in the navigation segment and annotating the first node of the first path segment with a second precondition based on determination of a destination node from the one or more nodes and the second precondition includes performing a hard lock action of the first device for the autonomous vehicle traversing the first path segment to the destination node.

Abstract: One example method includes receiving datasets based on one or more instances of sensor data that are received from one or more sensors. The sensor data is associated with an aggregate fragility level that indicates how fragile one or more packages being transported by a movable edge node in an edge environment are. Features that are based on the datasets are extracted. Based on the extracted features, events that indicate anomalous driving patterns for the movable edge node are determined. In response to determining the events, an alarm based on a predetermined threshold that is based on the aggregate fragility level is generated.
