  • Publication number: 20230107503
    Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating a multi-modal transportation service are provided. The method includes obtaining a request for an aerial transport from a user via user device and generating a multi-modal transportation itinerary for the user to facilitate the aerial transport of the user. The method includes determining a state change indicative of the progress of the user through the transportation service and adjusting an aerial software application running on an aerial device associated with an aerial service provider based on the state change. The method includes determining a subsequent state change occurring after the state change, determining a ground vehicle to provide a ground transportation for the user during another leg of the multi-modal transportation service based on the subsequent state, and adjusting a ground software application running on a ground device associated with the ground vehicle service provider based on the subsequent state change.

  • Publication number: 20210350479
    Abstract: Systems and methods for communicating with secondary users of a transportation service are provided. A method can include obtaining a request for a transportation service including an aerial transport of a first user from a first user device associated with the first user. The method can include generating a first multi-modal transportation itinerary for facilitating the aerial transport for the first user. The method can include obtaining data indicative of a second user that is to travel with the first user for at least a portion of the first multi-modal transportation itinerary and determining a second multi-modal transportation itinerary for facilitating the aerial transport for the second user. The method can include communicating passenger itinerary data indicative of the second multi-modal transportation itinerary to a second user device associated with the second user.

  • Publication number: 20190227569
    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.

  • Publication number: 20190220036
    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.
