Embodiments herein are directed to a vehicle floating fleet vehicle system for determining a location of a user and one or more car-sharing vehicles. The system includes a server computing device operated by a floating fleet service provider. The server computing device includes at least one processor; a memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor; and machine readable instructions stored in the memory. The machine readable instructions cause the vehicle floating fleet system to perform at least the following when executed by the at least one processor receive a request for the one or more car-sharing vehicles, determine the one or more car-sharing vehicles in one or more nearby gated parking facilities, send information about the one or more car-sharing vehicles to the user, and receive a selected car-sharing vehicle in a nearby gated parking facility of the one or more nearby gated parking facilities from the user.

These teachings provide a statement corresponding to a pending repair of a particular vehicle and securely stores that statement in inviolate electronic storage in correlation with a unique vehicle identifier. Parts are ordered to specifically use to repair this vehicle per that statement and again information regarding those ordered parts is securely stored in the inviolate electronic storage (again in correlation with the unique vehicle identifier). That particular vehicle is repaired using those ordered parts and per the foregoing statement. By one approach that repair proceeds per a series of specified sub-tasks. Information regarding completion of at least some of those specified sub-tasks is securely stored in the inviolate electronic storage, again in correlation with the unique vehicle identifier. These teachings then provide for preparing vehicle repair completion documentation and securely storing information regarding that documentation in the inviolate electronic storage again in correlation with the unique vehicle identifier.

A system that automates and optimizes the workflows and transportation routes of one or more mobile medical units is provided. The mobile medical units may include mobile phlebotomy units for the onsite collection of medical specimens (e.g., blood). The system may include a plurality of mobile medical units (e.g., medically equipped vans) within a particular city, and a system for receiving and assigning medical workorders to particular mobile units (e.g., based on the mobile unit's location compared to that of the patient, availability, and other criteria). The system also may determine an optimized route to the patient for the mobile unit to follow and may provide additional administrative support to the mobile unit during the entire workflow process. The system also may perform onsite diagnostic tests on medical specimens collected from a patient (e.g., using medical test equipment), may flag abnormal test results, and may communicate the results to a healthcare provider. The system also may effect a particular treatment or prophylaxis for a disease or medical condition of a patient as indicated by the diagnostic test results acquired by a mobile medical unit at the patient's remote location.

A technique involves modular storage of network service plan components and provisioning of same. A subset of the capabilities of a service design system can be granted to a sandbox system to enable customization of service plan offerings or other controls.

Methods and systems for autonomous vehicle recharging or refueling are disclosed. Autonomous vehicles may be automatically refueled by routing the vehicles to available fueling stations when not in operation, according to methods described herein. A fuel level within a tank of an autonomous vehicle may be monitored until it reaches a refueling threshold, at which point an on-board computer may generate a predicted use profile for the vehicle. Based upon the predicted use profile, a time and location for the vehicle to refuel the vehicle may be determined. In some embodiments, the vehicle may be controlled to automatically travel to a fueling station, refill a fuel tank, and return to its starting location in order to refuel when not in use.

A system is configured to provide managed services for deployment of shared tangible objects by an operator. The system includes cloud resources provided by the system administrator. In one embodiment, the cloud resources include a sharable-object command module configured to communicate signals employed in activating shared tangible objects for use when the end user is successfully authorized by the device activation module. The system includes an API provided by the system administrator. The API is configured to facilitate a communication of object activation signals from the sharable-object command module to allow the end user to use the shared tangible object. The same API is employed to facilitate the communication of object activation signals for different types of shared tangible objects that can be provided in different vertical markets.

A personal electronic parking system and method adapted to identify, track, predict, alert, manage and collect payment, and enforce on-street and off-street parking, the system including a central cloud network adapted to generate and manage user data and parking data, a user interface adapted to show users parking information relevant to the user, a unique machine-readable code, wherein the code provides identification of a specific vehicle used by the user, one or more sensors, one or more meter devices adapted to connect with the central cloud network and the user interface, and a parking payment and enforcement portal.

Systems and methods for multi-modal trips. Systems and methods are provided for integrating multiple legs of a trip using different modes of transportation into a single, personalized transportation experience. In particular, systems and methods are provided for integrating multiple modes of transportation, such as an electric scooter ride and an autonomous vehicle ride, into a single trip.

A mediation system includes a notification unit. The notification performs process of extracting a second device requiring maintenance where maintenance work can be performed along with a first device requiring maintenance work, the second device having a second manager differing from a first manager of the first device, and notifying the second manager as a consignee candidate of the maintenance work of the first device.

A parking guidance system of a parking lot includes: a first license plate number recognizing device recognizing a license plate number of a vehicle entering or exiting from a parking lot; and a server classifying a priority of the vehicle and distinguishing whether the vehicle is a parking or charging use vehicle based on the license plate number, assigning a parking or charging spot based on at least one of the classified priority, information on whether the vehicle is the parking use vehicle or the charging use vehicle, or information on remaining parking spots and remaining charging spots, providing a guidance on a position of the assigned parking spot or charging spot to the vehicle until the vehicle arrives at the position, and determining a parking fee or a charging fee of the vehicle and providing a guidance on the fee when the vehicle exits the parking lot.
