    摘要: Aspects of the disclosure relate to providing transportation services with autonomous vehicles. For instance, a first route to a first destination may be determined. The first route may have a first cost. Weather information for the first destination may be received. A characteristic is determined based on the weather information. A second destination having the characteristic may be selected. The second destination may be different from the first destination. A second route to the second destination may be determined. The second route may have a second cost. The first cost may be compared to the second cost, and the vehicle may use the comparison to set one of the first destination or the second destination as a current destination for a vehicle to cause the vehicle to control itself in an autonomous driving mode to the current destination.

    摘要: A congestion rate calculation unit calculates a congestion rate in the cabin based on the number of recognized passengers. When the congestion rate is more than a predetermined congestion threshold, an in-vehicle display and an in-vehicle speaker are capable of giving an alighting notification that notifies the presence of a passenger who is alighting at the next stop and seat information of the passenger, and does not make an alighting notification when the congestion rate is less than or equal to the congestion threshold in the process of the passenger vehicle heading to the next stop.

    摘要: A user can request, via an electronic communication, an autonomous vehicle, such as a taxi, using a mobile device. Once the autonomous vehicle arrives at a pickup location, a wireless electronic communication connection is established between the autonomous vehicle and the mobile device. The autonomous vehicle then generates an audible or visual cue to the user. The mobile direct generates a corresponding audible, visual, or tactile cue as directed via the established wireless electronic communication connection. In this way, the user is able to readily identify which autonomous vehicle is the one requested. In further embodiments the mobile device cue duplicates a pattern of the autonomous vehicle cue or the autonomous vehicle cue and the mobile device cue operate in a call and response fashion.

    摘要: Provided is a method for berth allocation of a multiline bus station and speed guidance of buses. The intelligent control center sorts all buses between the current station and the previous station to form the BusNumber table, and performs speed guidance for all buses in the BusNumber table. Whether the guided bus can pass through the signalized intersection is determined. The buses that cannot pass through the signalized intersection are guided by acceleration, and those that cannot pass through the signalized intersection by acceleration guidance method update their speeds based on the phase state of signal light, so as to pass through the signalized intersection without stopping in most cases. All buses are conducted through speed guidance methods, and the berths are allocated for all the buses under different conditions.
