Abstract

Systems, vehicles, and methods are disclosed herein for providing transportation options. In relation to a ride request to transport a user from a first location to a second location, and a desired arrival time for the user to arrive at the second location, the system may identify a plurality of estimated transportation durations, each respectively corresponding to a drop-off location at or within a proximity of the second location, and each enabling the user to arrive at the second location by the desired arrival time. The system may select a first estimated transportation duration associated with a first drop-off location, based on an estimated transportation duration to transport the user from the first location to the first drop-off location and an estimated transportation duration for a second mode of transportation to enable the user to arrive at the second location from the first drop-off location.

Claims21

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving, from a device, a ride request to transport a user from a first location to a second location;
determining a desired arrival time for the user to arrive at the second location;
identifying a plurality of estimated transportation durations, wherein each of the plurality of estimated transportation durations respectively corresponds to one or more drop-off locations at or within a proximity of the second location, and wherein each of the plurality of estimated transportation durations is based at least in part on a first mode of transportation associated with the ride request transporting the user from the first location to the respective drop-off location and enables the user to arrive at the second location by the desired arrival time;
selecting a first estimated transportation duration of the plurality of estimated transportation durations which is:
associated with a first drop-off location;
and
based at least in part on an estimated transportation duration for the first mode of transportation to transport the user from the first location to the first drop-off location and an estimated transportation duration for a second mode of transportation to enable the user to arrive at the second location from the first drop-off location,
wherein the estimated transportation duration for the second mode of transportation associated with the first estimated transportation duration exceeds an estimated transportation duration for the second mode of transportation associated with a second estimated transportation duration of the plurality of estimated transportation durations;
based at least in part on the selecting, causing the device to display a selectable option corresponding to the first estimated transportation duration;
and
based at least in part on receiving selection of the selectable option, causing the device to display an indication of a vehicle assigned to the ride request to pick up the user at the first location and execute a transportation route to transport the user to the first drop-off location associated with the first estimated transportation duration.

A system, comprising:

control circuitry configured to:
receive, from a device, a ride request to transport a user from a first location to a second location;
determine a desired arrival time for the user to arrive at the second location;
identify a plurality of estimated transportation durations, wherein each of the plurality of estimated transportation durations respectively corresponds to one or more drop-off locations at or within a proximity of the second location, and wherein each of the plurality of estimated transportation durations is based at least in part on a first mode of transportation associated with the ride request transporting the user from the first location to the respective drop-off location and enables the user to arrive at the second location by the desired arrival time;
select a first estimated transportation duration of the plurality of estimated transportation durations which is:
associated with a first drop-off location;
and
based at least in part on an estimated transportation duration for the first mode of transportation to transport the user from the first location to the first drop-off location and an estimated transportation duration for a second mode of transportation to enable the user to arrive at the second location from the first drop-off location,
wherein the estimated transportation duration for the second mode of transportation associated with the first estimated transportation duration exceeds an estimated transportation duration for the second mode of transportation associated with a second estimated transportation duration of the plurality of estimated transportation durations;
based at least in part on the selecting, cause the device to display a selectable option corresponding to the first estimated transportation duration;
and
based at least in part on receiving selection of the selectable option, cause the device to display an indication of a vehicle assigned to the ride request to pick up the user at the first location and execute a transportation route to transport the user to the first drop-off location associated with the first estimated transportation duration.
