Patent number: 11017331Abstract: The disclosed embodiments illustrate methods and systems for predicting demand of vehicles in a transportation network. The method includes determining demand events at each of one or more locations for time intervals based on historical demand data. The demand events correspond to a demand of vehicles at one or more locations during plurality of time intervals throughout a day. The method includes creating a graph comprising nodes, and edges connecting nodes, each node being representative of a demand event from demand events. An edge is representative of dependency between two demand events from demand events. The method includes predicting demand of vehicles at a location from one or more locations during a predetermined time interval based on the graph and a real time demand of vehicles associated with other demand event. The method includes displaying demand prediction on a computing device at one or more locations of transportation network.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2018Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: Conduent Business Services, LLCInventors: Narayanan Unny Edakunni, Aditi Raghunathan

Patent number: 9978111Abstract: The disclosed embodiments illustrate methods and systems for recommending one or more vehicles, commuting on a predefined route, for one or more requestors. The method includes determining a first additional distance traversable by each vehicle apart from the predefined route to accommodate each requestor. Further, a graph comprising a first set of nodes representing the one or more requestors, and a second set of nodes representing the one or more vehicles, is generated. Thereafter, a mapping between the first set of nodes and the second set of nodes is determined based on the first additional distance. The mapping corresponds to an allocation of a requestor to a vehicle such that an additional distance traversable by the vehicle is less than an additional distance traversable by remaining vehicles apart from the predefined route. Thereafter, the one or more vehicles are recommended for the one or more requestors based on the mapping.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2015Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Assignee: CONDUENT BUSINESS SERVICES, LLCInventors: Sharmistha Jat, Koyel Mukherjee, Narayanan Unny Edakunni, Pallavi Manohar
