Abstract
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for real-time planning and fulfillment of multi-modal transportation services in a multi-modal ride sharing network. In particular, aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a computing system that creates an end-to-end multi-modal itinerary responsive to a user request for transportation service between an origin and a destination. The multi-modal itinerary can include two or more transportation legs that include travel via two or more different transportation modalities such as, as examples, via a car and via an aircraft.
Claims20
A computing system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more non-transitory computer-readable media that store instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to cause the computing system to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- accessing data indicative of an end-to-end itinerary for a user to travel from an origin to a destination, wherein the end-to-end itinerary comprises a plurality of transportation legs that include transportation via a plurality of different transportation modalities,
- wherein the plurality of transportation legs comprise at least a first transportation leg and a second transportation leg, the first transportation leg comprising ground-based transportation associated with a service provider of ground-based transportation and the second transportation leg comprising flight-based transportation provided via one or more aircraft associated with a service provider of flight-based transportation;
- accessing data indicative of an updated flight plan associated with the service provider of flight-based transportation;
- accessing, from a user device over a network, location data associated with the user, the location data indicative of a progress of the user along the end-to-end itinerary;
- based on the data indicative of the end-to-end itinerary, the data indicative of the updated flight plan, and the location data, computing an updated itinerary for the user;
- computing an estimated arrival time of the user at the destination based on the updated itinerary;
- and
- based on the estimated arrival time of the user the destination, providing data indicative of the updated itinerary to the user device.

A computer-implemented method comprising:
- accessing data indicative of an end-to-end itinerary for a user to travel from an origin to a destination, wherein the end-to-end itinerary comprises a plurality of transportation legs that include transportation via a plurality of different transportation modalities,
- wherein the plurality of transportation legs comprise at least a first transportation leg and a second transportation leg, the first transportation leg comprising ground-based transportation associated with a service provider of ground-based transportation and the second transportation leg comprising flight-based transportation provided via one or more aircraft associated with a service provider of flight-based transportation;
- accessing data indicative of an updated flight plan associated with the service provider of flight-based transportation;
- accessing, from a user device over a network, location data associated with the user, the location data indicative of a progress of the user along the end-to-end itinerary;
- based on the data indicative of the end-to-end itinerary, the data indicative of the updated flight plan, and the location data, computing an updated itinerary for the user;
- computing an estimated arrival time of the user at the destination based on the updated itinerary;
- and
- based on the estimated arrival time of the user the destination, providing data indicative of the updated itinerary to the user device.

- accessing data indicative of an updated flight plan associated with the service provider of flight-based transportation;
- accessing, from a user device over a network, location data associated with the user, the location data indicative of a progress of the user along the end-to-end itinerary;
- based on the data indicative of the end-to-end itinerary, the data indicative of the updated flight plan, and the location data, computing an updated itinerary for the user;
- computing an estimated arrival time of the user at the destination based on the updated itinerary;
- and
- based on the estimated arrival time of the user the destination, providing data indicative of the updated itinerary to the user device.
