20230194270 · 2023-06-22 ·

A multi-modal navigation system for a vehicle is disclosed. The navigation system is configured to determine a multi-modal route including a driving route to a driving destination and a pedestrian route to a pedestrian destination from the driving destination. Turn-by-turn driving navigation for the driving route is provided, and data for the pedestrian route is provided to a mobile device such that turn-by-turn pedestrian navigation for the pedestrian route is enabled via the mobile device.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPTIMAL AUTOMATED BOOKING OF ON-DEMAND TRANSPORTATION IN MULTI-MODAL JOURNEYS
20170357914 · 2017-12-14 ·

A method for automated booking of an on-demand service in a multimodal journey includes receiving information related to a multimodal trip plan for a commuter trip. The multimodal trip plan includes a plurality of segments, and the plurality of segments include an on-demand service segment that requires an on-demand service vehicle as the mode of transport. The method also includes receiving real-time information relating to a location of the commuter from one or more location tracking sensors, determining an estimated time of arrival of the commuter at a transfer point for transfer to the on-demand service segment by analyzing the real-time information, identifying a time of availability of an on-demand service vehicle at the transfer point (as a function of a time of booking), and determining an optimal time of booking of the on-demand service vehicle based on the estimated time of arrival and the time of availability.

Managing conflicts using conflict islands

In some implementations, a computing device can manage conflicts using conflict islands. For example, when a computing device receives bulk map data updates, the computing device can determine conflicts between point updates (e.g., small, ad hoc feature edits) in the current map data and the bulk map data updates. When the bulk map data updates are merged with the current map data, a point update for a map feature may conflict with the bulk update for the feature. The computing device can determine a perimeter of stable map features around the conflicted feature. The map features within the perimeter can correspond to a conflict island. The bulk updates for features within a conflict island (e.g., within the perimeter) can be deferred until resolved while bulk updates for features outside of a conflict island can be applied to the current map data.

Technologies disclosed herein facilitate identification of a trip route from an origin of a user to a desired destination of the user, wherein the trip route includes multiple transportation modalities, at least one of which is an autonomous vehicle (AV), and dispatching of the AV to a pickup location for the user in connection with providing transportation to the user along a portion of the identified trip route.

Mapping Application with Transit Mode

Some embodiments provide a mapping application that provides a first map browsing mode for displaying a map that emphasizes a first set of features in a map region. The mapping application also provides a second map browsing mode for displaying a map that de-emphasizes the first set of features while emphasizing a second set of transit-related features in the map region.

Assigning on-demand vehicles based on ETA of fixed-line vehicles

Systems and methods related to ridesharing may involve receiving a ride request from a user including a desired destination and information associated with a current location of the user, and receive location information of on-demand and of fixed-line ridesharing vehicles and based on the received location information, identify a fixed-line ridesharing vehicle available to pick from a first pick-up location identify an on-demand ridesharing vehicle available to pick from a second pick-up location, both locations other than the current location of the user, determine a first value and a second value indicative of a time duration for the fixed-line and one demand ridesharing vehicles to arrive at the first and second pick-up locations, respectively, and when the first value is less than the second value, inform the user that the fixed-line ridesharing vehicle is enroute and direct the user to the first pick-up location.

Network computer system to arrange pooled transport services

A network computer system operates to receive service requests from requesters. Based at least in part on a proximity between the current locations of a first and a second requester, the system can match the first service request and the second service request by (i) selecting pickup locations for the first and second requesters, (ii) transmitting rendezvous information to the computing devices of the first and second requesters, (iii) determining an estimated time interval for each of the first requester and the second requester to arrive at their pickup locations, and (iv) selecting a transport provider to service both the first transport request and the second transport request.

Computer-aided route selection

In some aspects, a processor may receive a starting point and an ending point from a runner. The processor may receive calorie information from the runner. The processor may receive pace information from the runner. The processor may receive a mile marker input from the runner. The processor may display a he route based on the starting point and the ending point. The processor may display the number of calories burned based on the route and the calorie information. The processor may display a pace of running the route based on the route and the calorie information. The processor may display a mile marker on the route in response to the first mile marker input.

Hedging risk in journey planning

Embodiments of the disclosure include a method for journey planning including receiving a journey planning request, the journey planning request having an origin and a destination in a transportation network. The method also includes calculating an optimized journey plan by identifying a plurality of routes through the transportation network from the origin to the destination and determining an uncertainty associated with each of the plurality of routes. Calculating an optimized journey plan also includes evaluating a robustness of each of the plurality of routes to the uncertainty associated with each of the plurality of routes and selecting the optimized journey plan based on the journey planning request and the robustness of each of the plurality of routes.
