FOR-HIRE VEHICLE FARE AND PARAMETER CALCULATION SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A for-hire vehicle (FHV) management system comprising:
- a computer memory that stores fare calculation information associated with a plurality of jurisdictions; and
computer hardware including a processor in communication with the memory and configured to;
receive trip data over a network from a computing device disposed within a remotely-located FHV indicating time and/or distance associated with a trip taken by the FHV;
calculate a trip fare based at least in part on the trip data, the fare calculation information, and a jurisdiction within which the FHV is located; and
provide the trip fare to the computing device disposed within the FHV over a network.

Abstract
Systems and methods for calculating fares for-hire vehicle (FHV) trips are provided. Trip data, such as time, distance, location, or other trip-related data, is received over a network from a computing device disposed within a remotely-located FHV. The trip data is used to calculate a trip fare, which is provided to the computing device over a wide area network.

7. A for-hire vehicle (FHV) management system comprising:
-
a computer memory that stores fare calculation information associated with a plurality of regulatory jurisdictions; and computer hardware including a processor in communication with the memory and configured to; receive first trip data over a network from a first computing device disposed within a remotely located for-hire vehicle (FHV) indicating time and/or distance associated with a trip taken by the FHV; receive second trip data over a network from a second computing device disposed within the FHV indicating time and/or distance associated with the trip; calculate a trip fare based at least in part on the first trip data, the fare calculation information, and a location of the FHV; verify the correctness of the calculated trip fare based at least in part on the second trip data; and provide the trip fare to the first computing device. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
