Abstract
Methods and systems for allocating vehicles for rental rides to customers are provided. A booking request for a rental ride is received from a customer device of a customer. The booking request includes at least a ride distance and a ride duration specified by the customer. Based on the ride duration in the booking request, a predefined ride distance is determined for the rental ride. A ride fare for the rental ride is determined based on at least one of the ride duration, the ride distance specified by the customer, the predefined ride distance, a base fare, and a ride cost per unit distance. Upon confirmation of the ride fare by the customer, an available vehicle is allocated to the customer for rental ride.
Claims16
A vehicle allocation method, comprising:
- receiving, by circuitry, from a customer device of a customer, a booking request for a ride, wherein the booking request comprises at least a ride duration and a first ride distance;
- identifying, by the circuitry, a second ride distance and a base fare associated with the ride duration;
- determining, by the circuitry, a ride fare for the ride, wherein the ride fare is determined based on the base fare when the first ride distance is less than or equal to the second ride distance, and wherein the ride fare is determined based on the ride duration, the first ride distance, the second ride distance, the base fare, and a ride cost per unit distance when the first ride distance is greater than the second ride distance;
- and
- allocating, by the circuitry, a vehicle from a set of available vehicles to the customer based on at least the ride fare.
