1. A method comprising:
- receiving, via network interface circuitry of one or more computing devices, a request from a mobile access point that is installed on a vehicle;
determining, by processing circuitry of the one or more computing devices, characteristics of a captive portal to present in response to the request based on current location of the vehicle and mobile access point, wherein the characteristics of the captive portal comprise visual and/or audio content of the captive portal, wherein the visual and/or audio content comprises traffic accounting information for a user device from which the request originated, and wherein the visual and/or audio content of the captive portal is determined based on a predetermined route of the vehicle; and
providing, by the processing circuitry via the network interface circuitry, the captive portal with the determined characteristics in response to the request.

Abstract
A request from a mobile access point that is installed on a vehicle may be received via network interface circuitry of one or more computing devices. Processing circuitry of the one or more computing devices may determine characteristics of a captive portal to present in response to the request based on current location of the vehicle and mobile access point. A captive portal with the determined characteristics is then provided by the processing circuitry, via the network interface circuitry, in response to the request.
