Methods and systems for planning and creating transportation routes with multiple modalities are provided. In one embodiment, a method is provided that includes receiving a transportation request that includes a first location and a second location. A transportation proposal may then be generated including a route for transportation between the first location and the second location. The method may then include determining modalities available to provide transportation and determining respective transportation segments for the modalities, and at least a subset of the transportation segments may be combined to form the route for transportation. The transportation proposal, including the route for transportation, may then be transmitted for display on a mobile device.

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.

A movement assistance device guides a user to a meeting location for meeting a vehicle. The movement assistance device calculates a first required time until the vehicle arrives at the meeting location, and a plurality of routes from the user's current location to the meeting location. The movement assistance device calculates a second required time for the user to arrive at the meeting location from the user's current location for each route. The movement assistance device then determines the route associated with the second required time as a route via which the vehicle could be met on time when a second required time is the same as or shorter than the first required time. The movement assistance device then causes the communication device to output information that indicates the route or routes determined to be the route or routes via which the vehicle could be met on time.

To more realistically represent the real-world, a street-level view depicts a route path and objects that occlude one or more segments of the route path. Such objects can include guardrails, buildings, or any of a variety of other objects as described herein. The street-level view can be implemented in advance to preview travel, during travel, or in other scenarios. The street-level view presents the route path from a viewpoint that can be a current location of a traveler or an arbitrary location.

The vehicle navigation device guides a user of a vehicle to a destination. The vehicle navigation device includes a car navigation system that acquires the destination, a head-up display that displays various information, and a body ECU that controls the information displayed on the head-up display based on the destination acquired by the car navigation system. The body ECU is configured to cause, on the assumption that the user alights from the vehicle at a current location, the head-up display to display post-alighting guidance information which is information for guiding the user to the destination regarding, for example, walking.

A method and system include identifying, by a processor, departing flight information that designates departure airports and departure times in payment card transaction data of a plurality of users. Airport-specific data for a departure airport before a departure time of a departing flight of a user from the plurality of users is received. The airport-specific data is inputted into a machine learning model that outputs a user-specific airport processing time for the user to reach a departure gate upon arriving to the departure airport. A travel time from a geographical location of the computing device of the user to the departure airport is received from a navigation system. The computing device displays a time for the user to start travel to the departure airport based on the user-specific airport processing time and the travel time to the departure airport for the user to reach the departure gate by the departure time.

Embodiments provide techniques, including systems and methods, for determining alternate request locations based on a pickup location score (PLoS) of a location associated with transportation request information. A pickup location score may include an objective quantitative measurement of the fitness of a location for a pickup by a provider. For example, embodiments may receive transport request information associated with a requestor computing device including a request location, determine a modified request location based at least on a location score for each of one or more alternate request locations that are within a threshold distance of the request location, and send modified transport request information associated with the modified request location and the first requestor computing device to a provider computing device associated with a matched provider for the transport request information.

A method for providing a multimodal transport service based on a personal air vehicle may include checking, for at least one traffic object, route information including waypoint information and destination information, checking destination information of at least one passenger, setting service use information based on the route information for the at least one traffic object and the destination information of the at least one passenger, checking the service use information of the traffic object that approaches a take-off and landing facility, setting a transport zone as an entry zone of the traffic object, in response to a demand for transport processing of the traffic object, and processing the at least one passenger's getting into the traffic object.

What is disclosed is a system to enable a user with an associated user device to receive a context dependent transportation experience, further wherein said system comprises a framework comprising one or more components, wherein said one or more components are coupled to each other and the user device via one or more interconnections; wherein said framework determines at least one context associated with said user and said user device; and wherein based on said determined context, said framework performs one or more actions.

An approach is provided for proactive booking of a shared vehicle. A routing platform determines that a user is leaving a location for a destination. The routing platform calculates a probability that the user will use a transport mode employing the shared vehicle for a route segment to the destination based on a context and a profile of the user. The routing platform initiates a creation of a proactive reservation of the shared vehicle based on determining that the probability meets or exceeds a threshold value. The proactive reservation is created without intervention of the user.
