Abstract: Systems and methods related to ridesharing may involve receiving a ride request from a user including a desired destination and information associated with a current location of the user, and receive location information of on-demand and of fixed-line ridesharing vehicles and based on the received location information, identify a fixed-line ridesharing vehicle available to pick from a first pick-up location identify an on-demand ridesharing vehicle available to pick from a second pick-up location, both locations other than the current location of the user, determine a first value and a second value indicative of a time duration for the fixed-line and one demand ridesharing vehicles to arrive at the first and second pick-up locations, respectively, and when the first value is less than the second value, inform the user that the fixed-line ridesharing vehicle is enroute and direct the user to the first pick-up location.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for directing ridesharing vehicles.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for managing a fleet of ridesharing vehicles. In one implementation, the system may include a communications interface configured to receive ride requests and location information and at least one processor configured to assign a first ridesharing vehicle to pick-up a first group of users; determine pick-up locations for the first group; send data to guide each user to a respective pick-up location; predict when a first user will arrive at a first pick-up location; prior to the first user arriving, cancel the assignment of the first ridesharing vehicle to the first user while maintaining the assignment to others of the first group; predict when a second ridesharing vehicle may pass the first pick-up location; and re-assign the first user to the second ridesharing vehicle when the predicted passing time is after the predicted arrival time.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for managing a fleet of ridesharing vehicles. In one implementation, the system may include a communications interface configured to receive requests for shared rides from a plurality of users; a memory configured to store indications of passenger-capacity for specific ridesharing vehicles in the fleet; and at least one processor configured to receive information from the communications interface and access the memory The at least one processor may be further configured to assign, to ridesharing vehicles already transporting users, additional users for simultaneous transportation in the ridesharing vehicles; track a current utilized capacity of each specific ridesharing vehicle; and implement a threshold block that prevents assignment of additional users to a ridesharing vehicle when the ridesharing vehicle's current utilized capacity is above a threshold being less than the ridesharing vehicle's passenger-capacity.
