AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION
Systems and methods for providing indications to identify a selected autonomous vehicle, thereby distinguishing the selected autonomous vehicle from other autonomous vehicles in a fleet. In particular, autonomous vehicles that are not paired with a specific nearby user may employ various exterior indicators to dissuade the user from entering. Additionally, autonomous vehicles that are not paired with the specific nearby user may provide guidance toward the user's autonomous vehicle.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PREDICTIVELY MANAGING USER EXPERIENCES IN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES
The disclosed computer-implemented method may include monitoring, during a ride provided by an autonomous vehicle (AV), passenger communications between a passenger and a remote agent using an in-vehicle electronic device. The method may further include identifying passenger ride preferences based on a passenger request, and in association with a first occurrence of a ride event. The method may also include providing confirmation, via the in-vehicle electronic device, that the request is being fulfilled, the fulfillment of which causes a change in the passenger's AV experience based upon changes to features of the AV. The method may further include generating, based upon the request, a prediction of passenger ride preferences for the passenger and then, during a subsequent AV ride carrying the passenger, applying the predicted passenger ride preferences to an AV during a second occurrence of the ride event. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
Car-sharing service device and method of operating same
Disclosed are a car-sharing service device and a method of operating the same capable of improving convenience of the use of a car-sharing service and increasing participation in the service by providing an environment in which targets requiring the car-sharing service are specified and the common use of a shared car is recommended to each of the specified targets.
MASS TRANSPORTATION RIDERSHIP DATA IMPORT
At least one computer-readable medium on which are stored instructions that, when executed by one or more processing devices, enable the one or more processing devices to perform a method. The method includes the steps of receiving over a network a data set corresponding to a passenger seeking transportation to a destination, the data set including an address of origin of the passenger, accessing a first database that includes a first set of geocodes that correspond to addresses within a particular geographic region of interest, the region of interest including the passenger address of origin, determining if there is a geocode in the first database that corresponds to the passenger address of origin, if there is not a geocode in the database that corresponds to the passenger address of origin, automatically creating a geocode that corresponds to the passenger address of origin, and providing the created geocode to a route management system.
Systems and methods for online to offline service
The present disclosure relates to a system and method for operating an online to offline service platform. The system may perform the methods to: receive a service order from a first terminal associated with a passenger, the service order including a first identifier corresponding to the passenger and a pick-up location designated by the passenger; determine a second identifier corresponding to a driver accepting the service order; obtain first status corresponding to the first identifier; generate, based on the first status, a first instruction; and send the first instruction to a second terminal associated with the second identifier.
Destination proposal system, proposal device, and proposal method
The present disclosure includes receiving, by a server (1), experience information via a telecommunications network (3) from each of terminals (3) carried by respective users (A to E), the experience information being information regarding an experience desired by each of the users; extracting, in the server, two or more users to generate a single community for the experience information of the two or more users, the two or more users transmitting the experience information having a similarity level not less than a predetermined threshold; extracting, in the server, a destination (5) associated with the experience information having the similarity level not lower than the predetermined threshold using a database (17) configured to preliminarily store the experience information and the destination in association with each other; and transmitting the destination from the server via the telecommunications network to the terminals carried by the two or more users who constitute the single community.
Customizing user interface experiences for requesters of transportation services
The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for customizing a user experience for users of a transportation matching system. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems can detect a mobile application session on a requester device, determine information related to a location of a requester device, and then utilize one or more modifications to modify a user interface experience for the mobile application session on the requester device.
Distributed ridesharing vehicle management
Managing ridesharing vehicles by receiving passenger data comprising pick-up and drop-off location data of passengers, recording the passenger data in one or more queues corresponding to one or more pick-up locations of the pick-up location data, and sending information associated with a first pick-up location to a first vehicle. In response to the first vehicle arriving at the first pick-up location, extracting data of passengers exiting the first vehicle at the first pick-up location, retrieving passenger data from a first queue corresponding to the first pick-up location according to a capacity of the first vehicle, and updating a passenger ledger of the first vehicle according to the data of the passengers exiting the first vehicle at the first pick-up location and the passenger data retrieved from the first queue.
DYNAMIC ROUTING OF AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES
Disclosed are systems and methods for dynamically routing pickers and autonomous vehicles to avoid areas closed to travel by the autonomous vehicles within a warehouse. A processor in communication with an autonomous vehicle and an electronic device operated by a user (e.g., handheld device) may, in response to detecting that the electronic device diverges from a path of the autonomous vehicle, provide, for display on the electronic device, information about the product. The processor may then determine a rendezvous location for the autonomous vehicle based on a location of the product. The processor may then instruct the autonomous vehicle to navigate to the rendezvous location and transmit the rendezvous location to the electronic device.
Server for communicating with mobile and vehicle devices
One or more servers may include a first communication interface to communicate with a mobile device; a second communication interface to communicate with devices associated with a plurality of vehicles; and a selection mechanism. The first communication interface may receive, via a network, a request from the mobile device based on an interaction with the mobile device. And, the selection mechanism may determine weighted scores for two or more, of the plurality of vehicle, and select one of the two or more vehicles by using a selection function that improves access to vehicle services and decreases waste of resources used by the plurality of vehicles.
