    Abstract: The present invention is a method and system to confirm commuter eligibility for municipal transportation incentives. In an embodiment the present invention uses a Reward Threshold in combination with an API-bearing mobile device to create and send positional, temporal, and identifying information to a central Server. The Server maintains a record of information received and uses said information to apportion and track progress toward municipal transportation incentives. Upon a user's accumulation of a pre-authorized number, type, or kind of awards, the Server determines a user's having qualified for one or more rewards and/or incentives and enables redemption thereof.

  • Publication number: 20230401882
    Abstract: A method and system to verify carpool occupancy compliance for access to High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes, High Occupancy or Toll (HOT) lanes, or other vehicle-occupancy contingent rewards. Software and hardware devices are used with radio-frequency transmitter modules to capture one or more photo images of vehicle occupants and to perform boxed headcounts of humans in any given photo frame. Biometric signature detection is used to confirm the boxed headcounts and a realness algorithm to further confirm the genuineness of any human image. Occupancy compliance can be communicated directly to an appropriate regulatory body.
