Patent number: 12230146Abstract: A transport network management system identifies a service objective for a plurality of VTOL aircraft and retrieves VTOL data including locations of the plurality of VTOL aircraft. An estimate of demand for transport services to be provided at least in part by one of the VTOL aircraft is generated and routing data for the plurality of VTOL aircraft is determined based on the estimated demand and the service objective. Routing instructions based on the routing data are sent to at least a subset of the VTOL aircraft.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2021Date of Patent: February 18, 2025Assignee: JOBY AERO, INC.Inventors: Nikhil Goel, Jon Petersen, John Badalamenti, Mark Moore

Publication number: 20240407051Abstract: A system can receive location data from a computing device of a requesting user, where the location data indicates a current position of the requesting user. The system can determine a rendezvous location for the requesting user prior to the requesting user transmitting a service request to the network computer system. The system may then transmit data corresponding to the rendezvous location to the computing device of the requesting user. The system may further periodically receive an update request from the computing device of the user, and for each update request, (i) determine a second plurality of transport providers with the predetermined distance or time from the current position of the user, and (ii) based on respective locations of these transport providers, transmit updated map data to the computing device to indicate an updated rendezvous location on the map interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2024Publication date: December 5, 2024Inventors: Pan Pan, Jon Petersen, Kevin Su, Ronak Trivedi

Publication number: 20240078916Abstract: Aerial vehicles are assigned to routes within a transportation network based on a state of charge, state of power, and/or state of health for the aerial vehicle. Such aspects can be modeled based on one or more statistical models and/or machine-learned models, among other examples. As another example, an energy budget is used to ensure that the state of charge, state of power, and/or state of health of the aerial vehicle during and/or after traveling the route remains within the energy budget. A payload is assigned to a route and an associated aerial vehicle, thereby generating an itinerary. In examples, the itinerary is validated by the aerial vehicle to ensure that the aerial vehicle is capable of traveling the route with the payload. In examples where the aerial vehicle rejects the itinerary, the itinerary is assigned to another aerial vehicle and a new itinerary is identified for the aerial vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Adam Thomas Chase, Ian Andreas Villa, Luke Asher Wilhelm, Jon Petersen, Robert Alan McDonald, Mark Douglass Moore, Celina Mikolajczak

Patent number: 11477847Abstract: A system can receive, over one or more networks, location data from a computing device of a requesting user, where the location data indicates a current position of the requesting user. The system can repeatedly determine, based at least in part on location data corresponding to a directional heading of a proximate transport provider in relation to the current position of the requesting user, an optimal rendezvous location for the requesting user prior to the requesting user transmitting a service request to the network computer system. The system may then transmit, over the one or more networks, data corresponding to the optimal rendezvous location to the computing device of the requesting user.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2021Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: UBER TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Pan Pan, Jon Petersen, Kevin Su, Ronak Trivedi

Patent number: 11006479Abstract: A method and system for predictive location selection are described. A network computer system can preselect a service area, prior to receiving a service request from a user, based on the position of the user, a destination, and proximate available service providers, among other factors. In response to the user inputting the destination, the network computer system determines probability scores for predefined service areas based on likelihoods of the proximate available service providers being available at a time when the user submits a service request. The network computer system uses the probability scores to select an appropriate service area and transmits data corresponding to the optimal service area to the user.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2020Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Pan Pan, Jon Petersen, Kevin Su, Ronak Trivedi
