SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF FLEXIBLE PAYMENTS FOR COMMUTE MODIFICATION

摘要

In various example embodiments, systems and methods for enabling users to modify elements of a traffic commute are presented. For example, one embodiment involves a server computer receiving a bid value and a commute path from a client device. The server computer analyzes the received information to identify an available commute modification associated with the commute path, makes and verifies a modification in communication with traffic devices such as a street light if the bid is accepted, and then informs the client device that the modification impacting the user's traffic commute was accepted. In certain embodiments, different groups of users with different commutes associated with conflicting commute modifications bid against each other.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
receiving, at a server computer from a first client device, a first communication, wherein the first communication comprises a bid value and a commute path; analyzing, by the server computer, the first communication to identify an available commute modification associated with the commute path; communicating, by the server computer, with at least a first traffic device regarding the available commute modification; verifying, by the server computer, a change in a commute value associated with the available commute modification and the first traffic device; and sending, from the server computer, a commute modification message to the first client device following verification of the change in the commute value.
