Publication number: 20200393256Abstract: A computing system can detect high capacity vehicles (HCVs) coming online to provide transport services. The computing system monitors transport demand for HCV corridors throughout a geographic region. Each HCV corridor comprises a plurality of possible rendezvous locations and a plurality of possible routes that can be traveled by individual HCVs through the HCV corridor, as opposed to having fixed routes with fixed stops. The computing system can determine a schedule for each HCV corridor, and monitor supply flow of HCVs traveling through each HCV corridor. Based on (i) the transport demand, (ii) the schedule, and (iii) the supply flow of the HCVs for each of the HCV corridors, the computing system can match the HCV with a specified HCV corridor, and transmit match data indicating a start zone of the matching HCV corridor to the computing device of the HCV.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2019Publication date: December 17, 2020Inventors: Mustafa Sahin, Vishnu Sundaresan, Meisam Vosoughpour, Kenneth Kuhn, Miraj Rahematpura, Danhua Guo, Eoin O'Mahony, Lior Seeman, Denny Tse-Wei Tsai, Philippe Sekine
