1. A method of generating a model to assess maximum numbers of concurrent trips for an autonomous vehicle transportation service, the method comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors of one or more server computing devices, historical trip data including when requests for assistance were made, response times for those requests for assistance, and a number of available resources when each of the requests for assistance were made;
receiving, by the one or more processors, a number of concurrent trips occurring when each of the requests for assistance were made, wherein concurrent trips are trips that overlap in time; and
training, by the one or more processors, the model using the historical trip data and the numbers of concurrent trips, and wherein the model is configured to provide a maximum number of concurrent trips given a period of time, a number of available resources, and a response time requirement.
