Abstract
The present invention includes methods, circuits, devices, systems and associated computer executable code for providing driver decision making support. According to some embodiments, there may be provided a driver decision support system, which may generate action recommendations to a commercial driver, such as a taxi driver, a cab driver, a limo driver or any other kind of driver who picks up and transports passengers or cargo on an ad hoc (or otherwise flexible/uncertain) basis.
Claims20
A driver decision support system comprising:
- a mobile computing device including a display and a driver interface adapted to receive a driver input indicating an operational parameter for optimization;
- a recommendation engine including processing circuitry adapted to generate a recommended driver action, optimized according to the driver indicated operational parameter, wherein the recommendation is at least partially based upon:
- (1) a location signal indicating a current location of the driver;
- (2) a live traffic feed indicating current traffic conditions within an area including the current location of the driver:
- (3) a traffic flow model for the area;
- and (4) a transportation demand model of at least the area, indicating a current demand for commercial transportation within the area;
- and
- a rendering unit adapted to render upon said display a graphic representation of the recommended driver action;
- wherein said traffic flow model and said transportation demand model are dynamic and intermittently updated and said transportation demand module is segmented by location.
A driver decision support system comprising:
- a recommendation engine including processing circuitry adapted to generate a recommended driver action for a commercial driver (Cdriver);
- wherein the recommendation is at least partially based upon:
- (1) a location signal indicating a current location of the driver;
- (2) a live traffic feed indicating current traffic conditions within an area including the current location of the driver;
- (3) a traffic flow model for the area;
- and (4) a transportation demand vs. supply model of at least the area, indicating a current demand for commercial transportation within the area in relation to a current demand for commercial transportation within the area;
- and
- a rendering unit adapted to render upon a display a graphic representation of the recommended driver action;
- wherein said traffic flow model and said transportation demand model are dynamic and intermittently updated and said transportation demand vs. supply module is segmented by location.
The system according to claim 18, wherein said recommendation engine is adapted to calculate a probability the Cdriver will be street hailed at a given location or cruising a given route.
A driving decision support system comprising:
- a mobile computing device including a display and an interface adapted to receive a user input indicating an operational parameter for optimization;
- a recommendation engine including processing circuitry adapted to generate a recommended driving action for an autonomous driving system, optimized according to the user indicated operational parameter, wherein the recommendation is at least partially based upon:
- (1) a location signal indicating a current location of the autonomous driving system;
- (2) a live traffic feed indicating current traffic conditions within an area including the current location of the autonomous driving system;
- and (3) a traffic flow model for the area;
- and
- a rendering unit adapted to render upon said display a graphic representation of the recommended driving action;
- wherein said traffic flow model is dynamic and intermittently updated.
