Shared vehicle management system with autonomous travel planning
The patent US12039468B2 describes a shared vehicle management system designed to optimize the use of vehicles through a server-based architecture. The system includes a server that manages vehicle requests from multiple users, utilizing a database to store these requests. Each user is equipped with terminal devices that feature GPS receivers to relay their current positions to the server. The system also incorporates onboard devices in vehicles, which similarly track and communicate the vehicle's location. The server is responsible for processing vehicle requests, determining available vehicles, and establishing travel plans that include boarding locations for users. It can autonomously command vehicles to follow specified routes and manage waiting times based on user presence and travel plans.
Additionally, the system is capable of adjusting waiting times based on various factors, including user schedules and real-time traffic or weather information. If a user is not present at the boarding location when the vehicle arrives, the server can calculate the required arrival time for the user and compare it to the set waiting time. Depending on this comparison, the server can issue commands for the vehicle to either wait or depart. The system also allows for the possibility of rerouting to another available vehicle if the original vehicle's waiting time exceeds the user's required arrival time. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive framework for managing shared vehicle usage efficiently, enhancing user experience through real-time adjustments and autonomous vehicle capabilities.
