Disclosed is reducing starting time for a GNSS receiver that has an imprecise initial starting location by requesting starting assistance from a CDN that caches predictive data including first data indicated predicted LOS visibility from the receiver to individual satellites, wherein the request includes the imprecise initial staring location, receiving, from the CDN, data that includes a first block of the predictive data for the imprecise initial staring location and further adjoining second blocks of predictive data for areas surrounding the imprecise staring location, determining, by the GNSS receiver, commonly available satellites that have visibility from locations in both the first block and the second block, and calculating a first starting position using weighted values for the satellites, the commonly available satellites having higher weighted value than satellites without visibility in both locations, whereby position uncertainty of the first starting position is reduced from the imprecise initial starting location.

A server collects image pickup data picked up by an image pickup device that is held by a moving body. The server generates spot information in which information regarding a spot specified based on a post in a social networking service is associated with position information indicating a position of the spot and transmits the spot information to an information display device. The information display device displays a screen including first information for receiving a request for image pickup data regarding the spot information, and transmits request information including the position information of the spot information to the server when the first information is selected by a user. The server collects image pickup data picked up by the image pickup device in a region that satisfies a condition for the position indicated by the position information in the request information and transmits the collected data to the information display device.

Navigation devices and methods of operation are provided. The navigation device includes a communication unit; a display; an input unit for receiving an input of data; a communication unit; and a controller for controlling operation of the display and the input unit. The controller connects to a data server through the communication unit, requests path setting information to the data server, receives the path setting information from the data server, acquires present position information of the navigation device, acquires a user moving path by reflecting the acquired position information and the received path setting information, and sets the user moving path as a guidance path. In this case, the path setting information is generated in another electronic device or the data server based on user input information input from the another electronic device.

Provided is a drive assistance device preventing an unrecommended lane when a vehicle travels, enabling appropriate provision of driving assistance. Specifically, candidates for a way of moving into a selectable lane when the vehicle moves along a planned travel route are identified and obtained by using map information. Then, for a candidate that involves a lane change among the obtained candidates for a way of moving into a lane, a lane change start location at which a lane change starts and a lane change end location at which the lane change ends are set at a location close to a destination on a priority basis, and manner of moving into a lane for the vehicle that is recommended when the vehicle moves is selected from among the candidates for a way of moving into a lane, taking into account the set lane change start location and lane change end location.

A travel plan generation device generates a travel plan in which a vehicle passes through a first supply facility for supplying energy for travel of the vehicle, acquires supply availability information on the energy of the first supply facility at a predetermined timing after the vehicle starts traveling based on the generated travel plan, determines whether or not supply of energy is available at the first supply facility based on the supply availability information, when determining that the supply of the energy is not available at the first supply facility, identifies a second supply facility different from the first supply facility, and generates the travel plan in which the vehicle passes through the second supply facility instead of the first supply facility.

Technologies disclosed herein facilitate identification of a trip route from an origin of a user to a desired destination of the user, wherein the trip route includes multiple transportation modalities, at least one of which is an autonomous vehicle (AV), and dispatching of the AV to a pickup location for the user in connection with providing transportation to the user along a portion of the identified trip route.

Systems and methods herein describe receiving a target location from a computing device, using a machine learning model: determining a first access point and a second access point associated with the target location, causing presentation of the first access point as a first selectable user interface element and the second access point as a second selectable user interface within a graphical user interface on the computing device, receiving a first selection of the first selectable user interface element from the computing device; and in response to receiving the first selection, and initiating a trip request based on the refined map coordinates of the first access point.

A computerized vehicle control system for fleet routing includes a fleet of vehicles where each vehicle in the fleet of vehicles is configured to travel over streets and including an engine and wheels. Each vehicle further includes an in-vehicle electronic device comprising digital logic circuitry and a port configured to couple with a vehicle computer installed in the vehicle and in communication with a plurality of sensors disposed about the vehicle. The in-vehicle electronic device further comprises a display. The computerized vehicle control system further includes a vehicle management system comprising memory and computer hardware and configured to communicate over a network with each in-vehicle electronic device in the fleet of vehicles.

An electronic apparatus to promote rider safety is provided. The electronic apparatus receives a trip plan associated with a user identifier. The trip plan includes a current travel route of a micro-mobility vehicle associated with a shared mobility service. The electronic apparatus determines incident information associated with a number of past traffic incidents on at least one portion of the current travel route. The electronic apparatus controls a display device to display an option to replace the current travel route with a safer alternate route. The electronic apparatus receives a user input that includes a selection of the displayed option. The electronic apparatus determines a discount applicable on an initial trip cost associated with the trip plan based on received user input and controls the display device to display, based on the determined discount, an incentive including a final trip cost associated the trip plan.

Methods, computer-readable media, software, and apparatuses provide a system for forming and managing a caravan of vehicles. The system may include computing devices in a plurality of vehicles belonging to a caravan. The computing devices participating in the caravan may communicate various information to each other. This information may be used to generate and manage a route for the caravan. The system may also be used to select a leader and/or order of the caravan for a particular trip. During the trip, the system may monitor the caravan and analyze inputs from participants and vehicles. Further, the system may modify the route based on such inputs and distribute the modified route to participating computing devices so that the caravan may be maintained.
