An advertising campaign may be carried out using moving outdoor advertising. Advertisers typically like to manage and track the success of their advertising campaigns. Aspects of the present application may be seen to assist with such management and tracking by providing impression analytics, location analytics, time analytics and frequency reports. Furthermore, aspects of the present application may be seen to provide an ability to augment a moving outdoor advertising campaign with a mobile device retargeting advertising campaign. Then, such metrics as return on investment, profit and gross profit may be tracked. In some aspects, Wi-Fi signals and Bluetooth signals may be collected from mobile devices that are in the range of a Moving Impression Analytics Tracking Device.

Electronic digital display systems, including roadside display devices, vehicle-based devices, personal mobile devices, intermediary servers, advertising servers, and/or additional external data sources may operate individually or in combination to identify one or more vehicle locations, driving routes, driver and passenger characteristics, and the like. Vehicle and individual characteristics may be determined based on data received from traffic cameras, vehicle-based devices, personal mobile devices, and/or other data sources. Based on the vehicle characteristics, individual characteristics, driving data and driving patterns, and the like, digital content may be determined for electronic roadside displays to be viewable by the approaching vehicles, and/or other digital display devices to be viewable by associated individuals via other display devices and at other times. Various techniques may be used to determine customized digital content, such as targeted advertisements and/or driving or vehicle safety messages, including retrieval and aggregation of certain characteristics, prioritization of characteristics, and real-time auctions for advertisements. Additionally, certain systems may be interactive to allow user responses and follow-up content via on-board vehicle devices or other user devices.

One general aspect includes a method to display information, the method including: receiving over a V2X channel, via a processor, media content related information from a vehicle; producing, via the processor, an advertisement based on the media content related information; and exhibiting, via the processor, the advertisement on a display positioned at a remote location visible to the vehicle.

Described herein are embodiments of an autonomous drone for refueling. The autonomous drone may comprise a fuel storage area; a fuel delivery mechanism coupled to the fuel storage area; a delivery connection coupled to the fuel delivery mechanism; a drive mechanism; and a central controller. The central controller may be configured to receive a refueling location; and control the drive mechanism to pilot the autonomous drone to the refueling location.

A vehicle identification system includes one or more displays associated with a vehicle, and a network-accessible controller. The one or more displays are located to be visible from an exterior of the vehicle. The controller is adapted to generate a first signal with an identifier to be transmitted to a mobile communication device associated with a vehicle or its driver in response to a ride request from a user. The mobile communication device associated with the vehicle or its driver is adapted to generate a second signal indicative of the identified to be transmitted to one or more displays. The controller is also adapted to generate a further signal for displaying an advertisement on the one or more displays.

A method and system using blockchains for distributing event information related to vehicle operation between a plurality of entities. The method includes executing blockchain agreements between the plurality of entities participating in a blockchain exchange for distributing event information related to the vehicle operation, where the blockchain exchange includes a plurality of databases having blockchains of data blocks for storing the event information. Next, generating by a particular entity of the plurality of entities the event information related to vehicle operation and validating the event information by a consensus of the plurality of entities participating in the blockchain exchange. Then, appending, upon validating by the consensus, a blockchain within the blockchain database for enabling each entity to have access to a same replicated block data with the event information to enable enhanced vehicle operations of multiple vehicles based on the same replicated block data.

A system and method for identifying content relevant to a vehicle occupant using a rotatably-mounted sensor in a field of view of the vehicle occupant. The rotatably-mounted sensor collects information and data from its surroundings. The information and data is processes to identify relevant content to be presented to the vehicle occupant. The rotatably-mounted sensor is configured to rotate in a manner that directs the occupants gaze in a direction of the relevant content being presented. The relevant content may be selected based on information that is known about the vehicle occupant, the vehicle location, the vehicle destination, the vehicle surroundings associated with the location and/or destination, and vendor relationships.

A recommendation system for recommending a configuration of a vehicle includes an expert system that produces a recommendation of a parameter for configuring a vehicle control system that controls at least one of a vehicle parameter and a vehicle rider experience parameter.

A method for improving a state of a rider through optimization of operation of a vehicle includes capturing vehicle operation-related data with at least one Internet-of-things device, and analyzing the captured data with a first neural network that determines a state of the vehicle based at least in part on a portion of the captured vehicle operation-related data. The method further includes receiving data descriptive of a state of a rider occupying the operating vehicle, and using a neural network to determine at least one vehicle operating parameter that affects a state of a rider occupying the operating vehicle. The method still further includes using an artificial intelligence-based system to optimize the at least one vehicle operating parameter so that a result of the optimizing includes an improvement in the state of the rider.

An artificial intelligence system for vehicle in-seat advertising includes a first portion of the artificial intelligence system that determines an operating state of the vehicle by processing inputs relating to at least one parameter of the vehicle. A second portion of the artificial intelligence system determines a state of a rider of the vehicle by processing inputs relating to at least one parameter of the rider. A third portion of the artificial intelligence system determines at least one of a price, classification, content and location of an advertisement to be delivered within an interface of the vehicle to a rider in a seat in the vehicle based on the vehicle state and the rider state.
