A parking management system and methods of operation are disclosed. In one variation, a computer-implemented method comprises receiving positional data concerning a listing location from a listing client device; establishing a radius boundary based on the positional data; filtering one or more databases using the radius boundary to determine an amount of parking spaces listed and the amount of parking spaces reserved within a preset time period; calculating a location-specific transaction rate using the amount of parking spaces listed, the amount of parking spaces reserved, and the preset time period; determining a recommended listing price based on the location-specific transaction rate; and transmitting the recommended listing price to the listing client device.

A parking management apparatus capable of starting management of a parking service without requiring use of ancillary facilities of a parking lot is provided. A parking management apparatus that manages a parking service, including: a position information acquisition unit that acquires position information of a vehicle; a destination information acquisition unit that acquires destination information of the vehicle; a creation unit that creates vicinity parking lot information of a vicinity of a destination provided to the vehicle based on the position information of the vehicle, the destination information of the vehicle, and wide-area parking lot information; and a management unit that specifies a parking lot where the vehicle has entered based on the position information of the vehicle and the wide-area parking lot information or the vicinity parking lot information and starts the management of the parking service in the parking lot.

A trip information reporting device including a processor, the processor being configured to: acquire a trip cost including a car rental cost from a plurality of regions, the car rental cost being established on the basis of information relating to rental car availability; and report the trip costs from the plurality of regions to a user.

A method of providing a mobility service includes: receiving a users personal information and service request information from a user terminal and receiving transportation means data from a traffic API through a service providing terminal; determining a plurality of transportation means according to a preference of the transportation means included in the service request information through the service providing terminal; determining whether there is a first public transportation means capable of moving from a departure point to a destination without a transfer through the service providing terminal; if a plurality of transportation means include a public transportation means; determining whether a residual distance of a path through which the first public transportation means moves exceeds a predetermined distance through the service providing terminal if there is a first public transportation means capable of moving without transferring; and determining whether to use a combination of the first public transportation means and the shared transportation means through the service providing terminal if the residual distance exceeds the predetermined distance.

There is provided herein a system for tracking a user's use of available modes of transportation during a trip, the system comprising: a GNSS receiver configured; an IMU; and one or more processors that operates in accordance with a set of instructions stored in a memory to: generate a geotemporal record of a travel route of the trip based on location data provided by the GNSS and inertial data provided by the IMU; and determine, based on the geotemporal record, at least one vehicular trip segment. There is also provided herein a system for tracking a user's use of available modes of transportation during a trip, the system comprising: a remote hub comprising a transportation data repository; and one or more processors to determine, based on a user record of the trip and the transportation data repository, at least one vehicular trip segment.

Computationally efficient management of location-dependent values, such as rate cards, is provided, for example in the context of transport and market systems. A ball tree is traversed. The ball tree comprises a plurality of nodes, each node of the ball tree comprising a pivot geographic location and a radius, each node corresponding to at least one local value having a location within the radius of the pivot. Traversing the ball tree comprises: computing a bound on the location-dependent value for at least one node of the ball tree based on its corresponding at least one local value, its pivot geographic location, and a first geographic location, selectively traversing at least one child of the at least one node according to the bound, computing the location-dependent value for the at least one child based on its corresponding at least one local value, its pivot geographic location, and the first geographic location, and inserting the location dependent value of the at least one child to a sorted collection having a predetermined size.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium stores a program for causing a computer to execute a process including estimating a usage period based on a user's usage status for each device in a system that provides a service at metered charge for the devices, calculating a first cost related to renewal of each device based on the estimated usage period, estimating a maintenance timing of each device from a failure history of each device, calculating a second cost related to maintenance of each device based on the maintenance timing of each device and the estimated usage period, generating a service cost of the service for each device, the service cost including the first cost and the second cost, and selecting a device to be used for the service based on the service cost generated for each device.

An information processing apparatus includes a controller. When a cancellation of a reservation for use of an on-demand bus occurs, the controller determines a cancellation fee to be charged to a user who makes the cancellation, based on timing of occurrence of the cancellation.

Methods and systems for autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicle control, routing, and automatic feature adjustment are disclosed. Sensors associated with autonomous operation features may be utilized to search an area for missing persons, stolen vehicles, or similar persons or items of interest. Sensor data associated with the features may be automatically collected and analyzed to passively search for missing persons or vehicles without vehicle operator involvement. Search criteria may be determined by a remote server and communicated to a plurality of vehicles within a search area. In response to which, sensor data may be collected and analyzed by the vehicles. When sensor data generated by a vehicle matches the search criteria, the vehicle may communicate the information to the remote server.

A method for providing an integrated navigation service in connection with a mobile device and a vehicle sharing server through a communication network comprises the steps of: receiving, from the mobile device, an integrated navigation service request message including information on a user-set route; acquiring, from the vehicle sharing server, shared vehicle reservation information corresponding to the user-set route; determining, based on the shared vehicle reservation information, whether the user-set route is required to be changed; calculating an optimal route by reflecting the shared vehicle reservation information, if it is determined that the user-set route is required to be changed; and transmitting the calculated optimal route to the mobile device.
