Car-top mount with population density estimation

A system for a car-top mount usable with a vehicle navigating a route while providing a service of a service provider, the vehicle comprising a car-top display that identifies the service, and the system comprising:

• a global positioning system receiver that detects a location of the vehicle during the route;
• a population density estimator that estimates a population density of a population in a vicinity of the location of the vehicle during the route;
• and
• a population density reporter that reports the population density to the service provider of the vehicle during the route while providing the service.

A method of evaluating a population density of a population within a vicinity of a vehicle navigating a route while providing a service of a service provider, the vehicle comprising a car-top display that identifies the service, the method involving a device having a processor and comprising:

• executing, by the processor, instructions that cause the device to:
• using a global positioning system receiver, detect a location of the vehicle during the route;
• estimate a population density in a vicinity of the location of the vehicle during the route;
• and
• report the population density to the service provider of the vehicle during the route while providing the service.
