Systems and methods are disclosed herein for monitoring a location of a client device associated with a transportation service and generating augmented reality images for display on the client device. The systems and methods use sensor data from the client device and a device localization process to monitor the location of the client device by comparing renderings of images captured by the client device to renderings of the vicinity of the pickup location. The systems and methods determine navigation instructions from the user's current location to the pickup location and select one or more augmented reality elements associated with the navigation instructions and/or landmarks along the route to the pickup location. The systems and methods instruct the client device to overlay the selected augmented reality elements on a video feed of the client device.

Implementations of various methods and systems for creating and calculating a transportation capacity unit index and trading derivative products based thereon to transact and trade transportation seats or freight or transportation capacity units and resulting financial swap, futures, forwards and option structures in airline transport, subway transport, train transport, automobile transport, autonomous vehicle transport, taxi transport, space transport, package freight transport, tractor trailer freight transport, cargo freight transport, container freight transport, virtual transport, underground transport, ship or sea transport, public transport, private transport or drone transport on a computer, mobile computer device, audio computer device, virtual reality computer device or mixed reality computing device.

Aspects described herein may provide determination of a pedestrian route for a user to reach a seating area inside of a venue. Financial transaction data of the user may be reviewed to determine the user purchased one or more tickets to an event at the venue. Information regarding the event or the venue may be determined including seating charts for the venue and whether the tickets are for assigned or unassigned seats. Crowd densities inside and outside of the venue may be determined. The pedestrian route may be determined based on the crowd densities, number of tickets, and type of seating. The route may be updated as conditions change including any change to the crowd densities or change to seating availability. The route may increase a likelihood that the user reaches the seating area prior to a start of the event, and in a less stressful manner.

A system and method for managing virtual queues. A cloud-based queue service manages a plurality of queues hosted by one or more entities. The queue service is in constant communication with the entities providing queue management, queue analysis, and queue recommendations. The queue service is likewise in direct communication with queued persons. Sending periodic updates while also motivating and incentivizing punctuality and minimizing wait times based on predictive analysis. The predictive analysis uses “Big Data” and other available data resources, for which the predictions assist in the balancing of persons across multiple queues for the same event or multiple persons across a sequence of queues for sequential events.

Computationally implemented methods and systems that are designed for receiving one or more first directives that direct a transportation vehicle unit to transport a first end user; receiving, while the transportation vehicle unit is en route to or is transporting the first end user, one or more second directives that direct the transportation vehicle unit to transport a second end user while transporting the first end user, the transportation vehicle unit having been determined to be able to accommodate transport of the second end user while transporting the first end user; and verifying that compliance with the one or more second directives will not conflict with one or more obligations to transport the first end user by the transportation vehicle unit. In addition to the foregoing, other aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text.

Embodiments herein relate to fuel monitoring systems and related methods. In an embodiment, a fuel monitoring system for a vehicle is included having a fuel filter sensor device configured to generate data reflecting a filter restriction value of a fuel filter, a geolocation circuit configured to generate or receive geolocation data, and a system control circuit configured to evaluate the sensor data to determine changes in the filter restriction value. The control circuit can receive fuel level data, cross-reference geolocation data and fuel level data to identify refueling locations utilized, and correlate refueling locations with subsequent changes in filter restriction to identify an effect of specific refueling locations on fuel filter loading. In some embodiments, a refueling guidance system for a vehicle is included that can provide route and/or refueling site recommendations based on fuel filter loading rate data. Other embodiments are also included herein.

The present invention provides navigation assistance that is for small ships and that enables clear depiction of a radar image. An administrative server in a ship navigation assistance system, the server being equipped with: a communication means that performs, via a network, data transmission/reception with a user terminal which is connected to a device for detecting a target; and a vertex information management means that, of a plurality of target vertices extracted on the basis of detection result information of the target, identifies vertices moving together as a group as belonging to the same target, wherein, on the basis of the vertices that have been identified as belonging to the same target, the communication means transmits an instruction to the user terminal to display a rough outline of said target.

A real-time delivery operation management system, primarily for local or last mile delivery services to consumers. A management interface works in tandem with an instant delivery route-making algorithm to visualize the route plan for hired or contracted couriers in a dynamic interface, allowing depot managers to view or alter the delivery plan in real time. Visible route paths connect the depot, couriers, and their relevant orders for both assigned and offered routes. Orders can be selected and dragged and dropped to reconfigure routes and assignment of orders to couriers. Orders can be drag-and-dropped on either existing routes, couriers, or depots and thereby instantiate any of the underlying management operations.

Disclosed is a method, performed by an electronic device, for assigning items into one or more containers. The method comprises obtaining a plurality of attributes associated with a corresponding item. The method comprises obtaining a set of container parameters associated with a corresponding container. The method comprises obtaining one or more constraints, wherein the one or more constraints limit assigning items in a same container. The method comprises determining an assignment of the items to the one or more containers, based on the attributes, the set of container parameters and the one or more constraints. The method comprises outputting, based on the assignment, an assignment plan of the items into the one or more containers.
