Abstract: A method performed in real-time includes receiving and storing time-based data over a specific time period and dividing the specific time period into a plurality of time windows. The method further includes determining that data associated with two or more proximate time windows are within a predetermined variance of one another and responsive to the determination: generating a mathematical function representative of the data associated with the two or more proximate time windows, deleting the data associated with the two or more proximate time windows, and generating a representation of the deleted data from the mathematical function. In certain embodiments, the data comprises empirical network telemetry data.

Abstract: Various electric scooter docking stations are described herein. In some embodiments, the electric scooter docking stations facilitate collection, movement, and/or storage of the electric scooters in a compact, elegant, and efficient configuration. For example, the electric scooter docking stations can be configured to take advantage of a unique shape of an electric scooter, providing the storage and positioning of many electric scooters in a compact area. Also, the electric scooter docking stations can be simple structures that facilitate self-powered movement of electric scooters within the electric scooter docking stations.
