  • RENDERING LOCATION AND ORIENTATION OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION VEHICLE ICONS WITHIN A GRAPHICAL MAP DISPLAY
    Publication number: 20240011780
    Abstract: This disclosure describes a vehicle-icon-animation system that determines render orientations for rendering a vehicle icon to represent a public transportation vehicle traveling along a predicted route. For example, based on analyzing public transit information, the disclosed systems can determine render orientations corresponding to locations of a public transportation vehicle along a predicted route. In addition, the disclosed systems can render (or cause a client device to render) a vehicle icon to portray the public transportation vehicle pointing in different render orientations at various locations along the predicted route. Further, the disclosed systems can update the vehicle icon to render it in a new location within a graphical map display based on updated public transit information.
