Abstract
The present disclosure describes a system for dynamically determining an accurate location of a light electric vehicle. For example, if a light electric vehicle is within a predetermined distance of a location for which an accurate location determination is needed or required, a light electric vehicle management system may update the determined location of the light electric vehicle with a location correction factor that is based, at least in part, on a reference location provided by a stationary reference point.
Claims19
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving a reference location from a stationary reference point,
- wherein the stationary reference point is at least one of an operations depot associated with a fleet of light electric vehicles or a rechargeable battery kiosk for a rechargeable battery of the fleet of light electric vehicles;
- receiving a current location from a light electric vehicle of the fleet of light electric vehicles;
- determining that the current location of the light electric vehicle is within a predetermined distance of a location accuracy zone associated with a geographic location;
- in response to determining that the light electric vehicle is within the predetermined distance of the location accuracy zone, applying a location correction factor to the current location of the light electric vehicle to generate an updated location for the light electric vehicle, and
- wherein the location correction factor is based, at least in part, on a comparison between the reference location of the stationary reference point and actual known GPS coordinates of the stationary reference point;
- and
- transmitting the updated location to a remote computing device.
5 more elements
A system, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform operations, comprising:
- receiving a light electric vehicle use request from a computing device associated with an individual;
- determining a location of the individual based, at least in part, on the light electric vehicle use request;
- determining a light electric vehicle location for a light electric vehicle,
- wherein the light electric vehicle location is associated with the location of the individual;
- in response to determining that the light electric vehicle is within the predetermined distance of the location accuracy zone, applying a location correction factor to the light electric vehicle to generate an updated light electric vehicle location for the light electric vehicle, the location correction factor being based, at least in part, on comparison of a reference location of a stationary reference point and actual known GPS coordinates of the stationary reference point,
- wherein the stationary reference point is at least one of an operations depot associated with a fleet of light electric vehicles or a rechargeable battery kiosk for a rechargeable battery of the fleet of light electric vehicles;
- and
- providing the updated light electric vehicle location on a user interface of the computing device.
