  • Publication number: 20250148839
    Abstract: A network system facilitates management of the operational states of transportation vehicles. Within a system environment, the network system also coordinates transport service between service providers operating the transportation vehicles and service requestors operating client devices. A transportation vehicle includes a processor or computing device that can determine and change operational states of the transportation vehicle. The transportation vehicle communicates operational states to one or more devices in the environment. Operational states can be communicated as vehicle datasets using a communication port of the transportation vehicle. The network system and client devices can act to enhance transport service using vehicle datasets. For example, the network system and/or client devices can manage an operational state by changing the current operational state off the transportation vehicle to a different operational state.

  • Publication number: 20200167696
    Abstract: A network system coordinates transport service between service providers operating transportation vehicles and service requestors operating client devices in a system environment. A transportation vehicle includes a processor or computing device that can determine and change operational states of the transportation vehicle. The transportation vehicle communicates the operational states to one or more devices. The operational states can be communicated as vehicle datasets using a communication port of the transportation vehicle. The network system and client devices can act to enhance transport service using vehicle datasets. For example, the network system can select a particular service provider to provide transport service to a service requestor based on the vehicle dataset for the transportation vehicle operated by the particular service provider. Transport service can also be enhanced at various points during the transport service coordination using other methods.

  • Patent number: 9576488
    Abstract: Animation and visualization of roadway performance analytics in a dashboard presentation in an integrated performance measurement system comprises analyzing collected traffic data to generate measured congestion information that reflects current conditions in one or more links, segments, or corridors comprising a roadway. The measured congestion information is presented in one or more sets of indicia on a graphical user interface so that current congestion conditions can be viewed and analyzed by a user. The measured congestion information is represented as gauges displaying percentage increases or decreases relative to a particular time, as animated maps showing a selectable set of current congestion conditions, as one or more graphs of current congestion conditions over time, as chart-based displays of costs and causes of current congestion conditions, and a data feed listing textual live updates.
