A gate apparatus includes a gate unit which is disposed on a second plane crossing a first plane in which an authentication object moves in one direction and which partitions a moving space of the authentication object from another space, an inclined face which is formed on the gate unit to cross the first plane and the second plane and which is inclined upwardly from the first plane, a display configured to display an image on the inclined face, and an image acquisition unit configured to capture an image of the authentication object in proximity to the display.

A fine generation method for automatic generation of fines related to a transport network associated with a transportation network company. The method comprises receiving, by a regulatory monitoring system, real time vehicle data related to a vehicle within the transport network. The method further comprises receiving, from a transportation network company, trip data relating to one or more trips of the vehicle, and storing the trip data in a database. The method also comprises generating violation data by analysing the real time vehicle data and the trip data stored in the database to detect if a violation has occurred, and generating a fine based on the violation data.

A management server performs a process including: when an electric vehicle is returned, obtaining a usage history of the vehicle; calculating a ratio of a non-traveling period of time of the vehicle; setting a discount rate based on the ratio of the non-traveling period of time; setting a discount rate based on how many times the vehicle is rapidly accelerated; setting a discount rate based on how many times the vehicle is rapidly decelerated; setting a discount rate based on environmental temperature; setting a discount rate based on a parking environment; setting a discount rate based on an SOC history; and setting a rental fee.

Systems and devices related to a transportation device sharing system including vehicles with integrated docking ports are disclosed. In one embodiment, a vehicle includes a docking system for a transportation device, including a docking port, adapted to receive the transportation device and secure the transportation device, a communication device to wirelessly transmit and receive data, one or more processors, and a memory communicably coupled to the one or more processors and storing a status module including instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to determine whether the transportation device is present in the docking port and cause the communication device to transmit location data indicating a location of the vehicle, and status data, indicating at least the presence or absence of the transportation device in the docking port, to an external receiver.

Provided are an information processing device, a face authentication system, and an information processing method which can improve the processing speed for collation that uses a face image of a person passing through a specific area. This information processing device includes: an acquisition unit for acquiring an image that is obtained by imaging, at a first site, a person who can ride a vehicle moving to a second site from the first site; and a processing unit for determining, on the basis of information about a face image contained in the image, a candidate of a person who can reach the second site with the vehicle.

The present systems, devices, and methods relate to managing shared vehicle access. Vehicle access can be provided to a candidate user based on whether the user is included in a list of at least one user associated with a respective virtual key. Virtual keys can be created, or lists of at least one user can be updated to include the candidate user, to in turn provide vehicle access. Virtual keys can be stored in a plurality of virtual key slots, with vehicle access being provided based on a virtual key stored in an active key slot. Status reports can be sent to a reservation management device, for updating virtual keys or lists of at least one user.

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.
