Large scale demand responsive transit framework

摘要

Described herein is a descriptive framework to facilitate large scale demand responsive transit. In accordance with one aspect of the framework, one or more trip requests from one or more commuter devices are received. A trip request indicates at least one start location and at least one end location. In addition, vehicle information is received from one or more available vehicles. The vehicle information indicates at least one current location of a vehicle. An adaptive route for the vehicle may be planned based on the one or more trip requests and the vehicle information. Update information of the adaptive route may be communicated to the vehicle and the one or more commuter devices.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method of facilitating large scale demand responsive transit, comprising:
receiving one or more trip requests from one or more commuter devices, wherein a trip request indicates at least one start location and at least one end location; receiving vehicle information from one or more vehicles, wherein the vehicle information indicates at least one current location of a vehicle; planning, by a processor, an adaptive route for the vehicle based on the one or more trip requests, the vehicle information and at least one dynamic constraint that includes road avoidance in response to detection of an event; generating, by the processor, an evaluation score of the adaptive route, wherein the evaluation score is based on one or more score factors; and if the one or more score factors meet pre-defined criteria, communicating update information of the adaptive route to the vehicle and the one or more commuter devices.
