Abstract
A method for calculating a fare for a transport service is provided. One or more processors receive a plurality of location data points from a computing device associated with a vehicle providing the transport service. The plurality of location data points correspond to a route of travel during performance of the transport service. A determination is made, based on a set of location data points of the plurality of location data points, that the vehicle has potentially driven along a roadway in which a toll is to be assessed as part of the fare. The roadway in which the toll is to be assessed is identified. The amount for the toll is determined for the identified roadway.
Claims20
A method for calculating a fare for a transport service, the method being performed by one or more processors and comprising:
- receiving a plurality of location data points from a computing device associated with a vehicle providing the transport service, the plurality of location data points corresponding to a route of travel during performance of the transport service;
- determining that the vehicle has driven along a roadway in which a toll is to be assessed as part of the fare, based on a set of location data points of the plurality of location data points;
- determining an amount for the toll for the roadway.
A system comprising:
- one or more network resources to communicate with devices over a network;
- one or more memory resources;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the one or more memory resources and the one or more network resources, the one or more processors to:
- receive, over the network, a plurality of location data points from a computing device associated with a vehicle providing a transport service, the plurality of location data points corresponding to a route of travel during performance of the transport service;
- determine that the vehicle has driven along a roadway in which a toll is to be assessed as part of the fare, based on a set of location data points of the plurality of location data points;
- and
- determine an amount for the toll for the identified roadway.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive, over the network, a plurality of location data points from a computing device associated with a vehicle providing a transport service, the plurality of location data points corresponding to a route of travel during performance of the transport service;
- determine that the vehicle has driven along a roadway in which a toll is to be assessed as part of the fare, based on a set of location data points of the plurality of location data points;
- and
- determine an amount for the toll for the identified roadway.
