Fleet staging is the parking of shared autonomous or ride-hail vehicles between calls: an overnight home base for charging, cleaning, and maintenance, and daytime waiting zones convenient to demand. In a parking facility:
- Staging converts off-peak garage capacity into contracted fleet revenue.
- Cities want idle fleet vehicles off-street; operators want locations minutes from pickups.
Considerations
- Staging contracts should price power, dwell, and turnover separately. Fleet staging is the new monthly parker: contracted, predictable, and negotiated.
