  • Patent number: 11816179
    Abstract: A method, software tool, and system for generating realistic synthetic ride-requests associated with a mobility or transportation service, including: utilizing a generative adversarial network, learning the spatial-temporal distribution of a plurality of real ride-requests; and, utilizing the generative adversarial network and based on the learning step, generating one or more synthetic source and destination ride-request geolocations that retain a statistical distribution of the plurality of real ride-requests. The generative adversarial network is a Wasserstein generative adversarial network.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11719796
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method for removing noise from an ultrasonic signal using a generative adversarial network (GAN). The present disclosure provides three input formats for the neural network (NN) in order to feed one-dimensional (1D) input data to the network. The system is generalizable to multiple noise sources, as it learns from different motion functions and noise types. The end-to-end system of the present disclosure is trained on raw ultrasonic signals with very little pre-processing or feature extraction.

  • Patent number: 11610165
    Abstract: Distributing resources in a predetermined geographical area, including: retrieving a set of metrics indicative of factors of interest related to operation of the resources for at least two parties, each having a plurality of resources, retrieving optimization policies indicative of preferred metric values for each party, retrieving at least one model including strategies for distributing resources in the predetermined area, the at least one model based on learning from a set of scenarios for distributing resources, retrieving context data from real time systems indicative of at least a present traffic situation, establishing a Nash equilibrium between the metrics in the optimization policies of the at least two parties taking into account the at least one model and the context data, distributing the resources in the geographical area according to the outcome of the established Nash equilibrium.

  • Patent number: 11429987
    Abstract: Predicting transportation demand in a predetermined area, based on estimating a present mobility demand and based on user group preferences. Generated transportation need requests include at least a time stamp, a pick-up coordinate, a drop-off coordinate, a user group indication, a pick-up venue category based on the pick-up coordinate, and a drop-off venue category based on the drop-off coordinate. A signal indicative of the transportation need request is provided.
