Abstract: A system and method is provided that creates a multimodal transportation routing that originates using a road-based vehicle which then requires parking. Parking is not necessarily near the destination, but is determined based on user preferences and specification of the relative importance of speed of travel and monetary cost and/or safety. Other factors can also influence the route selection and comprise: parking availability, user preference for parking type, vehicle restrictions, maximum distance a user is willing to walk or bike and what types of public transportation a user is willing to use. Monetary factors include: fuel costs, parking costs, tolls, and public transportation costs.

Abstract: A system and method for using semantic understanding in storing and searching data and other information. A linearized tuple-based version of a conceptual graph can be created from a user input. A plurality of conceptual graphs, or portions thereof, can be compared to determine matches. An associative database can be created and/or searched using a hierarchy of conceptual graphs in tuple format, so that the data storage and searching of such database is optimized. The associative database can be used to integrate data from multiple different sources; form part of an Internet or other search engine; or used in other implementations. Also disclosed herein is a system and method for use of semantic understanding in searching and providing of content is described herein.

Abstract: A vehicle routing device that determines a route from an origin to a destination including route guidance. The route guidance is modified based on user input. The modification can supply increased or reduced route guidance at intervals along the route. Route guidance may be modified to incorporate landmarks and personal contacts.

Abstract: Embodiments are provided for anticipating a demand for transportation on demand vehicles operating in a geographical region of interest, including a non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions that when executed by at least one processor, cause it to perform operations, which may include: determining a plurality of spatiotemporal service need feature vectors characterizing a transportation need in the geographical region of interest over a first time period; determine a time-resolved regression function based on the plurality of spatiotemporal service need feature vectors; applying the time-resolved regression function to determine, from the plurality of spatiotemporal service need feature vectors, a plurality of anticipated spatiotemporal service need feature vectors for a second time period, subsequent to the first time period; and using the plurality of anticipated spatiotemporal service need feature vectors to determine a measure of anticipated transportation need in the geographical re

Abstract: Embodiments of this invention relate to a method of determining the risk of driving a vehicle on a road network as a function of, for example, location, time of driving, weather, road conditions, driver ability, and traffic density. Historical information for the above is statistically analyzed to come up with a predictive model. Results can be displayed or presented to a driver while driving or otherwise or another person.

Abstract: A system to monitor vehicle accidents using a network of aerial based monitoring systems. terrestrial based monitoring systems and in-vehicle monitoring systems is described, Aerial vehicles used for this surveillance include manned and unmanned aircraft, satellites and lighter than air craft. Aerial vehicles can also be deployed from vehicles. The deployment is triggered by sensors registering a pattern in the data that is indicative of an accident that has happened or an accident about to happen.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described to provide additional relevant content to a viewer of digital media such as a webpage. A webpage being viewed is divided into regions and in each region, statistics are compiled on pertinent words and phrases. Statistically significant words and phrases are compared with semantically similar words and phrases in the additional content. Where there is a significant match between the viewed content and available additional content, the additional content is provided to the user.

Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for predicting the extent and cost of repair resulting from a vehicle accident. The estimates can be based on one or more of in-vehicle sensor measurements during the accident, external observations such as weather and traffic and road conditions, and manually or digitally input accident reports. The gathered information is compared to information in a database from historical accidents and the resulting damage and costs for those. The information is classified according to impact force, direction and location along with the specific type of vehicle. Maintaining and refreshing the information and predictive models in the system is also part of the invention.
