Publication number: 20230360527Abstract: A computer system can determine historical interval data of a freight operator from completed freight service requests associated with the freight operator. Additionally, while the freight operator is fulfilling a current freight service request, the computer system can determine at least a first likely downtime interval for a non-operating activity of the freight operator prior to the freight operator arriving at a pickup location or a destination location of the current freight service request, based on the historical interval data. Also, the computer system can determine an estimated arrival time for the freight operator to arrive at the pickup location or the destination location of the current freight service request, based at least in part on the first likely down time interval. Moreover, the computer system can update a record associated with the freight operator to reflect the estimated arrival time.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: Luis Madrigal, Eyal Lasker, Xiao Guo, Padmini Pyapali, Tony Ran Zhang

Patent number: 10741072Abstract: A network computer system can associate an operator with a mobile device. Additionally, the network computer system can determine a current location of a freight vehicle operated by the operator, using location information transmitted by the mobile device associated with the operator. At a given instance, the network computer system can determine a time of arrival for the freight vehicle to arrive at a given destination location based on various parameters. For example, the time of arrival can be based at least in part, on (i) a distance between the current location of the freight vehicle to the given destination location, (ii) a time for the freight vehicle to travel the distance, and (iii) a duration of one or more required downtime intervals during which one or more restrictions are placed on the operator operating the freight vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2019Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: Uber Technologies Inc.Inventors: Luis Madrigal, Eyal Lasker, Xiao Guo, Padmini Pyapali, Tony Ran Zhang

Patent number: 10657813Abstract: A network computer system can associate an operator with a mobile device. Additionally, the network computer system can monitor the operator using the mobile device over a time interval that a freight vehicle is operated between a start location and a destination location. During the time interval, the network computer system can control the mobile device in transmitting interval data. Additionally, based on the interval data, the network computer system can evaluate the operator over the time interval using the interval data. The evaluation of the operator can include using the mobile device information to evaluate the operator over the one or more sub-intervals.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2019Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: Uber Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Luis Madrigal, Eyal Lasker, Xiao Guo, Padmini Pyapali, Tony Ran Zhang
