Abstract: Systems and methods for limiting facilitating a multi-modal transportation itinerary are provided. The system includes a service entity computing system and a vehicle provider computing system that collaborate to create and facilitate an end-to-end multi-modal transportation itinerary. This can include creating a flight schedule during a time window based on multi-modal transportation service data supplied by the service entity. The service entity can generate multi-modal transportation itineraries based on a request and the flight schedule. A rider can select an itinerary and, in response, the service entity can initiate and monitor a first ground leg of the itinerary. Deviations from the first ground leg can be provided to the vehicle provider which can delay or advance a flight based on the deviation. Likewise, deviations from an aerial transportation leg can be provided to the service entity which can delay or advance a second ground leg based on the deviation.

Abstract: Vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft can provide opportunities to incorporate aerial transportation into transportation networks for cities and metropolitan areas. However, VTOL aircraft can be sensitive to uneven weight distributions, e.g., the payload of an aircraft is primarily loaded in the front, back, left, or right. When the aircraft is loaded unevenly, the center of mass of the aircraft may shift substantially enough to negatively impact performance of the aircraft. Thus, in turn, there is an opportunity that the VTOL may be loaded unevenly if seating, luggage placement, and/or positions of internal components are not coordinated. This application describes systems and methods for dynamically assigning payloads and adjusting components of the VTOL aircraft.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for systems and methods for generating potential flight plans to be used by a ride sharing network, including dynamic and/or automated changes to flight plans that have been engaged with passengers based on real-time information. In particular, the systems and methods of the present disclosure can operate to generate a fleet-level set of potential flight plans which comply with one or more constraints for a fleet of aircraft. The potential flight plans can be exposed into and used by a ride sharing network to provide transportation to users.

Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to perform operations to optimize the provision of user services. The operations can include obtaining user data for a user of a multimodal transportation service provider. The operations can include obtaining, based at least in part on the user data, aviation data for one or more aviation service providers, the one or more aviation service providers comprising at least one of a flight facility operator or an airline operator. The operations can include determining, based at least in part on the user data and the aviation data, one or more service actions, the one or more service actions comprising at least one of a multimodal transportation service itinerary adjustment, a security process modification, or a user service optimization. The operations can include performing the one or more service actions.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for real-time planning and fulfillment of multi-modal transportation services in a multi-modal ride sharing network. In particular, aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a computing system that creates an end-to-end multi-modal itinerary responsive to a user request for transportation service between an origin and a destination. The multi-modal itinerary can include two or more transportation legs that include travel via two or more different transportation modalities such as, as examples, via a car and via an aircraft.

Abstract: Systems and methods for optimizing multi-modal transportation over a time period are provided. A system includes a simulation system configured to generate simulation data, a servicing system configured to generate servicing data, and a planning system configured to determine a multi-modal transportation itinerary based on the simulation and servicing data. The simulation data can identify a plurality of simulated flights performed in a simulated world corresponding to the real world. The system can determine the impact of scheduling a multi-modal transportation itinerary based on the impact of the multi-modal transportation itinerary on the simulated flights. The servicing data can include a servicing schedule that plans anticipated servicing events based on the impact of the servicing event to the simulated itineraries. Once scheduled, future simulated flights can be generated that account for the multi-modal transportation itinerary and the servicing schedule.

Abstract: Systems and methods for communicating aircraft sensory cues are provided. A method can include obtaining aerial vehicle data and facility data for an aerial portion of a multi-modal transportation service. The method can include determining a plurality of sensory cues indicative of information for the aerial portion of the transportation service such as a safe path across a landing pad of the facility, a seating assignment for a passenger, etc. The method can include communicating sensory data indicative of the plurality of sensory cues to at least one of a facility computing system associated with the facility or an aerial computing system associated with the at least one aerial vehicle. The facility computing system and/or aerial computing system can output the sensory cue(s) to at least one passenger or operator of the aerial portion of the multi-modal transportation service in, for example, the facility's landing area.

Abstract: The present application describes a payload management system that routes a payload item associated with an individual from an origin to a destination. In some examples, the payload item is routed from the origin to the destination separate from a travel itinerary associated with the individual. For example, the payload item can be routed via a vehicle other than a VTOL aircraft that is assigned to the individual for a multi-modal transportation service.

A vehicle provider system can obtain a number of different aerial vehicle service requests from a number of different service entities.

Among other advantages, dynamically assigning the payloads and adjusting components of the VTOL aircraft can increase VTOL safety by ensuring the VTOL aircraft is loaded evenly and meets all weight requirements; can increase transportation efficiency by increasing rider throughput; and can increase the availability of the VTOL services to all potential riders.
