A system and method for remote execution of applications at a cloud server for a connected vehicle infotainment system (CVIS). The method includes receiving a remote execution request for at least one application from a CVIS; executing the at least one application to output execution results; and causing rendering of the execution results on the CVIS while allowing interoperability with applications executed over at least one other environment included in a vehicle.

Described are a system, method, and computer program product for generating real-time predictions for vehicle transportation requests using machine learning. The method includes generating, with a processor and a machine-learning classification model, a transportation categorization for each consumer of a plurality of consumers based on historic transaction data; processing a plurality of new transactions by each consumer, each new transaction associated with a geographic node of activity; in response to processing the new transactions, generating a plurality of vehicle transportation predictions for the consumers based on the transportation categorization for each consumer and a geographic node of activity associated with a new transaction, each vehicle transportation prediction representing a likelihood that the consumer will request vehicle transportation subsequent to conducting the new transaction; and generating a supply map interface comprising a visual identification of a location in which a number of requests for vehicle transportation is predicted to increase based on the vehicle transportation predictions.

Methods and systems for allocating vehicles for rental rides to customers are provided. A booking request for a rental ride is received from a customer device of a customer. The booking request includes at least a ride distance and a ride duration specified by the customer. Based on the ride duration in the booking request, a predefined ride distance is determined for the rental ride. A ride fare for the rental ride is determined based on at least one of the ride duration, the ride distance specified by the customer, the predefined ride distance, a base fare, and a ride cost per unit distance. Upon confirmation of the ride fare by the customer, an available vehicle is allocated to the customer for rental ride.

An on board unit (OBU) updatable by working in concert with an in-vehicle head unit. A controller area network (CAN) circuit part transmits and receives data to and from the head unit on basis of CAN communication. An electronic toll collection system (ETCS) circuit part executes update target data received from the head unit and updates a control program as a result of the execution of the update target data.

A robot for charging a vehicle is provided. The robot has wheels or configured for a track for the robot to automatically move to the vehicle to provide charge to a battery of the vehicle. A charge storage is associated with the robot. An articulating arm of the robot. The articulating arm is configured for movement that enables the articulating arm to automatically connect to a connector of the vehicle after the robot moves in position beside the vehicle for providing charge to the battery of the vehicle.

A computer-implemented parking system including: a driver mobile electronic device configured to transmit a parking lot entry signal and a parking lot exit signal, and a coordinating computer system configured to receive the parking lot entry signal and the, parking lot exit signal, computer-controllable vehicle entry and vehicle exit barriers in communication with the coordinating computer system. The coordinating computer system is configured to: upon receipt of the entry signal transmit an open signal to the computer-controllable entry barrier station, and upon receipt of the exit signal transmit an open signal to the exit barrier station. Each entry and exit barrier station may include a receiver to receive the entry signal and parking lot exit signal, respectively. The receiver may be configured to detect or assist the coordinating computer system to detect, position of the driver mobile electronic device with reference to the computer-controllable entry or exit barrier station.

A system is for monitoring arrival of a vehicle at a given location. The system includes a server, and a vehicle sensing device. The vehicle sensing device is configured to sense arrival of the vehicle to the given location, and to transmit information about the vehicle to the server in response to sensing arrival of the vehicle to the given location. The server is configured to determine a context of the vehicle based upon the information about the vehicle, and take action based on the context of the vehicle. The system may be installed at parking lots, shipping yards, restaurants, stores, and other locations.

A method for the at least partially automated guidance of a motor vehicle within an infrastructure. The method comprises receipt of an instruction for the at least partially automated guidance of the motor vehicle within the infrastructure. In the event of a positive check of the instruction, the motor vehicle is guided in an at least partially automated manner within the infrastructure. A corresponding system, a computer program, and a machine-readable storage medium, are also described.

Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for providing users with access to a route for travelling. A user, of a client device, may send a request for access to the route to a route planning service. The route may correspond to a starting location and an ending location. The route planning service may query a route database to identify an entry indicating that a restricted access road segment (e.g., a high occupancy vehicle lane, a shoulder lane, a bus lane, etc.) and/or a road segment (e.g., comprising a traffic light alteration capability) exists between the starting location and the ending location. Responsive to successfully authorizing the user for travelling the restricted access road segment and/or the road segment, the route, comprising the restricted access road segment and/or the road segment, may be provided to the client device.

A universal fare payment and collection system configured to allow users to purchase tickets and/or passes for a plurality of public transport authorities using a single account or device. The system is configured to detect a first ticketing technology of a first nearby transportation system, configure the traveler's electronic device for authorizing at least one of a ticket and a pass via the first ticketing technology, detect a second ticketing technology of a second nearby transportation system, the second ticketing technology being different from the first ticketing technology, and configure the traveler's electronic device for authorizing at least one of a ticket and a pass via the second ticketing technology.
