The scheduler of a given aureole node choreographs the positioning and routing of both ground and airborne vehicles. When not actively involved in an assignment, vehicles will be sent to parking lots, which are dispersed strategically around the aureole node. Parking lots are also used to transfer material and people between vehicles.

     For the most part, vehicles within a given aureole node are kept steadily busy, and when they do have to use a parking lot, it's usually for a very short time.

     Many of the vehicles present at an aureole node at any given moment do not belong to that aureole node. A given mission could take a vehicle to another aureole node, or to a traditional city or town that is outside the aureole system. Once a vehicle completes a given assignment, it will pick up a new assignment from the nearest authorized scheduler or authorized controller, and it will repeat this pattern in perpetuity.

     When in need of maintenance or repair, a vehicle will automatically coordinate with relevant schedulers and/or controllers, which in turn will assign the vechicle to a maintenance/repair station and arrange for towing service if necessary.
