Methods, Circuits, Devices, Systems & Associated Computer Executable Code for Driver Decision Support

摘要

The present invention includes methods, circuits, devices, systems and associated computer executable code for providing driver decision making support. According to some embodiments, there may be provided a driver decision support system, which may generate action recommendations to a commercial driver, such as a taxi driver, a cab driver, a limo driver or any other kind of driver who picks up and transports passengers or cargo on an ad hoc (or otherwise flexible/uncertain) basis.

主权项

1. A driver decision support system comprising:
a mobile computing device including a display and a driver interface adapted to receive a driver input indicating an operational parameter for optimization; a recommendation engine including processing circuitry adapted to generate a recommended driver action, optimized according to the driver indicated operational parameter, wherein the recommendation is at least partially based upon: (1) a location signal indicating a current location of the driver; (2) a live traffic feed indicating current traffic conditions within an area including the current location of the driver; (3) a traffic flow model for the area; and (4) a transportation demand model of at least the area, indicating a current demand for commercial transportation within the area; and a rendering unit adapted to render upon said display a graphic representation of the recommended driver action; wherein said traffic flow model and said transportation demand model are dynamic and intermittently updated and said transportation demand module is segmented by location.
