A system and method for determining a ride fare for a ride in a network-connected autonomous vehicle is disclosed. The system may divide an overall ride fare between the rider, and the enterprise or company at which the rider is employed, where the amounts allocated to each are dependent upon a productivity metric indicating a measure of the work performed by the rider during the ride. Accordingly, the system receives a ride request over a network and calculates an overall ride fare using ride parameters. At the ride's conclusion, the system receives a productivity metric indicating rider productivity enabled by the vehicle's virtual work environment. The system uses the productivity metric to calculate a portion of the overall fare allocated to the rider's account. The virtual environment may include network connectivity, input devices, displays, and cloud-based productivity software. A productivity sensing system generates the productivity metric by monitoring network traffic, or monitoring software application interactions.

A system and method for optimizing routes for an autonomous vehicle ride service based on business promotions and incentives. A vehicle routing service identifies multiple possible routes between a rider's pick-up and drop-off locations that meet time and distance requirements. For each route, an expected monetary value is calculated based on promotions from businesses located near the route. Businesses provide promotions with bid values via an integrated promotion management platform. The route with the highest expected value based on associated promotion bid values is selected and provided to the autonomous vehicle. Promotion content is transmitted to vehicle displays or the rider's mobile device. The rider can accept offers to re-route to a business. The system continually evaluates new promotions for additional revenue opportunities. By optimizing routes based on promotions and incentives, the system maximizes value for riders, businesses, and the ride service.

A system for providing a taxi service includes an integrated terminal connected to a payment server through a network, wherein the integrated terminal includes a meter unit configured to calculate an operation fee of a vehicle by using global positioning system (GPS) information or information collected by a sensor of the vehicle, transmit event information comprising operation fee payment information or destination arrival information to the vehicle, and be switched to be in an empty vehicle mode when receiving payment completion information from the payment server in response to a payment request.

An example operation includes one or more of monitoring, by a transport exterior a location, an exchange performed in an interior of the location by a recent occupant of the transport, and completing, by the transport, the exchange.

Example aspects of the present disclosure provide for an example method. The example method can include accessing a first request for providing transportation along a first multi-leg transportation journey and a second request for providing transportation along a second multi-leg transportation journey. The example method can include querying a vehicle slot register to access data descriptive of unallocated vehicle slots for providing transportation services. The example method can include computing, using a request arbitration model, a first allocation for servicing the first request and a second allocation for servicing the second request. The example method can include updating the vehicle slot register based on the first allocation and the second allocation. The example method can include outputting a first response for the first request indicating the first allocation. The example method can include outputting a second response for the second request indicating the second allocation.

A vehicle dispatch service server (20) specifies a movement direction of a user based on position data of the user received from a user terminal (60). The vehicle dispatch service server (20) sets a boarding place from among one or more boarding place candidates that are present in a prescribed range around the user, and are present more toward the movement direction than the position of the user. The vehicle dispatch service server (20) transmits, to the user terminal (60), boarding place data including information on the set boarding place.
