The method receiving, by a processor, a transportation request. The method further includes assigning, by the processor, a passenger transport to fulfill the transportation request. The method further includes receiving, by the processor, at least one passenger profile, wherein the at least one passenger profile includes preferred ride and performance dynamics for a passenger. The method further includes adjusting, by the processor, one or more ride and performance dynamics for the passenger transport in response to the received at least one passenger profile. The method further includes transporting, by the passenger transport, one or more passengers associated with the transportation request to a destination. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for adjusting ride and/or performance dynamics of a passenger transport, the method comprising: receiving, by a processor, a transportation request; assigning, by the processor, a passenger transport to fulfill the transportation request; receiving, by the processor, at least one passenger profile, wherein the at least one passenger profile includes preferred ride and performance dynamics for a passenger; adjusting, by the processor, one or more ride and performance dynamics for the passenger transport in response to the received at least one passenger profile; and transporting, by the passenger transport, one or more passengers associated with the transportation request to a destination. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving input from the one or more passengers during transport to the destination and adjusting the one or more ride and performance dynamics for the passenger transport in response to the received input. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising monitoring an anxiety and/or comfort level for the one or more passengers during transport to the destination and adjusting the one or more ride and performance dynamics for the passenger transport in response to the monitored anxiety and/or comfort level for the one or more passengers. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising determining that the transportation request is for transport of at least two passengers. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, further comprising blending passenger profiles associated with the at least two passengers to form a group profile. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, wherein the one or more ride and performance dynamics for the passenger transport are adjusted in response to the group profile. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 further comprising storing the adjusted one or more ride and performance dynamics for the passenger transport upon arrival at the destination. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, further comprising associating the stored ride and performance dynamics with the at least one passenger profile. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, further comprising associating an environmental and/or infrastructure condition with the stored ride and performance dynamics. ### Claim 10 A system for adjusting ride and/or performance dynamics of a passenger transport, the system comprising: one or more passenger transports, wherein each passenger transport comprises: a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is operable to: receive a transportation request; assign a passenger transport to fulfill the transportation request; receive at least one passenger profile, wherein the at least one passenger profile includes preferred ride and performance dynamics for a passenger; adjust one or more ride and performance dynamics for the passenger transport in response to the received at least one passenger profile; and transport one or more passengers associated with the transportation request to a destination. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10, wherein the processor is further operable to receive input from the one or more passengers during transport to the destination and adjusting the one or more ride and performance dynamics for the passenger transport in response to the received input. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10, wherein the processor is further operable to monitor an anxiety and/or comfort level for the one or more passengers during transport to the destination and adjust the one or more ride and performance dynamics for the passenger transport in response to the monitored anxiety and/or comfort level for the one or more passengers. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10, wherein the processor is further operable to determine that the transportation request is for transport of at least two passengers. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The system of claim 13, wherein the processor is further operable to blend passenger profiles associated with the at least two passengers to form a group profile. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The system of claim 14, wherein the one or more ride and performance dynamics for the passenger transport are adjusted in response to the group profile. ### Claim 16 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10, wherein the adjusted one or more ride and performance dynamics for the passenger transport upon arrival at the destination is stored in the memory. ### Claim 17 A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions readable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method for adjusting ride and/or performance dynamics of a passenger transport comprising: receive a transportation request; assign a passenger transport to fulfill the transportation request; receive at least one passenger profile, wherein the at least one passenger profile includes preferred ride and performance dynamics for a passenger; adjust one or more ride and performance dynamics for the passenger transport in response to the received at least one passenger profile; and transport one or more passengers associated with the transportation request to a destination. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The computer readable storage medium of claim 17, further comprising receiving input from the one or more passengers during transport to the destination and adjusting the one or more ride and performance dynamics for the passenger transport in response to the received input. ### Claim 19 (depends on 17) The computer readable storage medium of claim 17, further comprising monitoring an anxiety and/or comfort level for the one or more passengers during transport to the destination and adjusting the one or more ride and performance dynamics for the passenger transport in response to the monitored anxiety and/or comfort level for the one or more passengers. ### Claim 20 (depends on 17) The computer readable storage medium of claim 17, further comprising determining that the transportation request is for transport of at least two passengers and blending passenger profiles associated with the at least two passengers to form a group profile.
