Abstract: In a subscription vehicle system that enables customers to select and swap between a fleet of available vehicles, the vehicles are evaluated to identify which vehicles would be the best fit in view of a customer request and other information pertaining to the customer. The customer request and information is examined to identify particular attributes that are being sought. Based on these attributes, the available vehicles are assigned a score that reflects the level of satisfaction that the vehicle is anticipated to provide for the customer. The vehicles with the highest scores can be considered as candidates for fulfilling the customer request.

Abstract: Optimizing the assignment of vehicles in a fleet across a pool of customers. Identifying a pool of customers to be included in an assignment event and identifying available vehicles. Cull the domain of potential assignment scenarios by filtering out undesired matches. Score the generated scenarios based on various desired factors and then rank the scenarios. Select one or more optimal scenarios and analyze for week spots. Bolster the week spots by interacting with one or more customers to identify alternate solutions. Select and implement the optimal scenario.

Abstract: Embodiments of methods and systems for dynamic insurance of clients with access to a shared asset pool through a subscription vehicle service are disclosed. An exemplary embodiment of a method for dynamic insurance leverages a subscription vehicle service platform to collect data elements associated with each driver-to-vehicle combination in the subscription vehicle service. Using the collected data elements, embodiments package the data elements according to predefined preferences of one or more insurance providers. When a present driver-to-vehicle combination associated with a given client changes, the packaged data elements are provided to the insurance providers in order to solicit quotations, or approval, or continuation of current policy for the new driver-to-vehicle combination. In this way, constantly updated data elements derived from the client's use of the service provide accurate information for optimized insurance coverage based on the client's active driver-to-vehicle combination.
