Abstract: A coordination server receives a request from a client device of a rider for transportation from a first location. The coordination server identifies a frequent spot based on the first location. The frequent spot is associated with a particular location and represents a plurality of historic first locations within a threshold distance from the frequent spot. The coordination server identifies a closest road segment with respect to the frequent spot. The closest road segment is a road segment of a plurality of road segments of an electronic map representing a geographic area around the first location. The coordination server determines a pickup side of the closest road segment based on the first location and the closest road segment. The coordination server sends, to a client device of a driver, a route to the first location such that the driver arrives on the pickup side of the closest road segment.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for receiving a unique identifier for a local transmitter and a signal strength for the local transmitter, determining a position and channel parameters of the local transmitter based on the unique identifier for the local transmitter, converting the signal strength for the local transmitter into a distance measurement using the channel parameters, the distance measurement indicating a distance of a computing device to the position of the local transmitter, and calculating a location of the computing device using the distance measurement and position of the local transmitter.

Abstract: A method estimating number of occupants in a region includes receiving at one or more receiving unit a signal or signals transmitted from one or more transmitting units, wherein the transmitting units are not associated with the one or more occupants located in the region. In addition, the method includes measuring one or more attributes of the received signal for a duration of time and calculating an occupancy estimate based, at least in part, on the measured attribute of the received signal.
