Abstract: A system can receive a request for transport from a computing device of a user while the user is riding a transit vehicle of a transit service, the request specifying a start location and a destination for the user. The system can determine an estimated time of arrival (ETA) of the transit vehicle to an arrival location that corresponds to the start location. The system can determine an ETA of a vehicle to the start location based on location data of the vehicle, and determine that the ETA of the vehicle to the start location is within a threshold amount of time of the ETA of the transit vehicle to the arrival location. The system can select the vehicle to service the request for the user, and transmit a transport invitation indicating the start location to the computing device associated with the vehicle.

Abstract: A computer system can receive requests for transport from computing devices of users while the users ride a transit vehicle. The system can determine a rate of travel of the transit vehicle based on location data received from the computing device of a user riding the transit vehicle. Based at least in part on the rate of travel of the transit vehicle, the system can determine a first estimated time of arrival (ETA) of the user to the start location. The system can further receive location data from computing devices associated with available vehicles within a proximity of a start location of the user, and select one of vehicles to service the request when the ETA of the vehicle is within a threshold amount of time of the first ETA.

Abstract: A computer system can receive pre-requests for transport from computing devices of users while the users are utilizing a transit service. Each pre-request can specify a start location and a destination for the user. The system can remotely monitor location data from the computing device of the user to determine a current position of the user as the user utilizes the transit service to travel towards the start location, and repeatedly compare (i) a first estimated time of arrival (ETA) of the user to arrive at the start location based, at least in part, on the current position of the user, to (ii) a second ETA, associated with an available vehicle, to arrive at the start location based at least in part on a vehicle position of the available vehicle. Based on this information, the computer system may then automatically select the available vehicle to transport the user.

Abstract: A system and method of arranging a transport service for a user is described. The system determines a first estimated time of arrival (ETA) of a user to a specified location data point based, at least in part, on a position of a user device operated by the user. The system also determines a second ETA of a vehicle of a set of vehicles to the specified location data point. When the first ETA and the second ETA are within a predetermined amount of time of each other, the system can select a driver to provide a transport service for the user based, at least in part, on the specified location data point.

Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to a task management platform for managing autonomous vehicles. In one example, a computer-implemented method for managing a fleet of vehicles includes obtaining, by a computing system comprising one or more computing devices, vehicle state data indicative of vehicle state from one or more vehicles among a fleet of vehicles. The method further includes determining, by the computing system, if a vehicle event has occurred based at least in part on the vehicle state data. The method further includes in response to determining a vehicle event has occurred, generating, by the computing system, one or more tasks for resolution of the vehicle event, wherein the one or more tasks include data associated with the one or more vehicles and the vehicle event. The method further includes providing, by the computing system, data associated with the one or more tasks to a remote operator computing system.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing a fleet of vehicles are provided. In one example embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes obtaining data representing vehicle state information associated with one or more vehicles among a fleet of vehicles at one or more times. The method includes predicting a future vehicle state associated with the one or more vehicles at one or more future times. The method includes scheduling a vehicle assignment in a predetermined set of vehicle assignments for a selected vehicle among the one or more vehicles before a first future time among the one or more future times. The method includes transmitting a command signal to a computing system associated with the selected vehicle based at least in part on the scheduled vehicle assignment.

Abstract: A travel coordination system uses historical data describing a geographic region over a set of time periods to predict the value a provider might receive for providing services within the geographic region during the set of time periods. The travel coordination system assigns a potential value score to each predicted value, and presents the potential value scores to providers via a user interface. Potential value scores are presented in a bar graph format, regional heat map, or any other interface used to present projected compensation to a provider. The travel coordination system may present previous services rendered by the provider so the provider might analyze the previous services to estimate compensation for future services. By generating potential value scores for geographic regions over various time periods, the travel coordination system makes potential compensation to providers more explicit, encouraging providers to modify their behavior in desirable ways to increase their compensation.

Abstract: A vehicle having a sensor and a head-up display is provided. The sensor can detect pedestrians at an intersection. The head-up display can depict an augmented reality indicator represented as the intersection and the pedestrians. The augmented reality indicator can be displayed directly in a driver's field of view centralized to provide a situational environment for the driver. The head-up display can show pedestrians outside the driver's field of view.
