Provided is an estimating system including: at least one memory configured to store computer program code; and at least one processor configured to access said at least one memory and operate according to said computer program code, said computer program code including: via point acquisition code configured to cause the at least one processor to acquire a position of a via point, wherein the route is a path followed by a mobile object when the mobile object moves toward a destination; staying time period code configured to cause the at least one processor to estimate, based on the position of the via point, a staying time period; and arrival time code configured to cause the at least one processor to estimate, by including the staying time period, an arrival time of the mobile object at the destination.

Approaches for determining scheduling assignments for the movement of people along a multi-segment path from a starting location to a destination location, are used to manage crowds, predict crowd behavior, and mitigate crowd turbulence. For example, to mitigate crowd congestion, routing solutions specifying an amount of time to spend at a destination and a departure time can be provided. Itinerary assignments, crowd data, and data associated with an event can be analyzed and weighted to determine scheduling assignments. Scheduling assignments can be validated against current crowd data and event data. Current crowd data and event data and crowd simulation can be used to predict future crowd behavior or crowd problems. Scheduling assignments can be rescheduled to mitigate crowd problems or emergencies.

Systems, methods, and other embodiments for vehicle route scheduling and navigation with dynamic selection of turns across opposing traffic are presented herein. In one embodiment, a method includes during development of a vehicle route from an arrival link through a node of a graph representing a road network, determining, for a departure link, that a path of the vehicle from the arrival link to the departure link crosses oncoming traffic, and in response to determining that that the path of the vehicle crosses oncoming traffic, adding an additional delay for the departure link to a route objective function representing the vehicle route; selecting the route including the path that crosses oncoming traffic to be an optimum route between a first location and a second location; including the optimum route in the delivery schedule for the vehicle; and transmitting the delivery schedule for execution.

The disclosed technology provides solutions for enriching map data with event information. In some aspects, the disclosed technology includes a process that includes steps for receiving a map query associated with the map for a user, aggregating one or more events that are associated with a respective location on a map, and processing the one or more events to generate one or more event clusters based on the map query. In some aspects, the process can further include steps for providing at least one of the one or more event clusters to the user. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

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 system and method of providing information about a transport service to user devices are described. The system arranges a transport service for a first user and a second user. The system determines first data corresponding to a first route from a location of a driver device of the driver to a first pickup location of the first user and second data corresponding to a second route from the first pickup location to a second pickup location of the second user. A combined route is determined based on the first data and the second data. The system transmits data associated with the first data without transmitting the data corresponding to the combined route to a first user device of the first user, and transmits data corresponding to the combined route to a second user device of the second user.

Techniques are described for configuring a monitoring system to assist users during a detected emergency condition at a property. In some implementations, sensor data from one or more sensors that are located at the property are obtained by a monitoring system that is configured to monitor the property. A determination that there is an emergency condition at the property is made by the monitoring system based on the sensor data, determining. A location of a person inside the property is determined by the monitoring system based on the sensor data. A first path to the person and a second path to guide the person away from the emergency condition are determined by the monitoring system. The first path to the person and the second path to guide the person away from the emergency condition are navigated by a computing device of the monitoring system.

The information processing device includes a voice guidance unit configured to acquire a current position of the mobile body and perform voice guidance along a route to a destination. When an information request by a user is made by designating a direction different from the direction indicated by a current route at a guide point, the voice guidance unit outputs information on a comparison between the current route and a route to the destination advancing in a designated direction.

A method and an apparatus for generating a route planning model and a storage medium are provided. The method for generating a route planning model includes: obtaining a target route data set associated with a target site; and determining a target route planning model of the target site with a site optimization object corresponding to the target site, based on the target route data set and a first route planning model; wherein the first route planning model is determined based on a set of historical route data through at least a first training, the set of historical route data being associated with a plurality of sites different from the target site and a first training optimization object for the first training corresponding to the plurality of sites.

A system for casual driver ride sharing includes an interface and processor. The interface is to receive a request for a ride from a user, wherein the request includes GPS information for the user. The processor is to determine compatibility between the typical route information and the request for the ride; determine a ranked list based at least in part on the compatibility; and provide a ride offer to a driver of the one or more casual drivers based at least in part on the ranked list.
