The invention relates to improved autonomous vehicle utilization via attached equipment. Disclosed are embodiments for coupling an autonomous vehicle with service equipment. The service equipment is configured to perform one or more services when coupled with the autonomous vehicle. In some embodiments, an environmental model generated by the autonomous vehicle is shared with a controller of the service equipment that fuses sensor data collected from onboard sensors with the environmental model from the autonomous vehicle to generate an integrated environmental model. A controller of the service equipment then executes the service based on the integrated environmental model. 本发明涉及经由附接的装备的改善的自主交通工具利用率。所公开的是用于将自主交通工具与服务装备耦合的实施例。服务装备被配置成用于在与自主交通工具耦合时执行一个或多个服务。在一些实施例中，由自主交通工具生成的环境模型与服务装备的控制器共享，该控制器将从板载传感器收集到的传感器数据与来自自主交通工具的环境模型进行融合，以生成经整合的环境模型。服务装备的控制器随后基于经整合的环境模型来执行服务。
