Systems and methods for providing at least a portion of a travel plan that calls for at least one transportation vehicle unit
First Claim
1. A computationally-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving a request for transporting one or more end users to a destination location from a starting location;
presenting one or more portions of a travel plan for facilitating the one or more end users to travel to the destination location from the starting location, the travel plan identifying at least two route legs including at least one transport route leg that calls for at least one transportation vehicle unit to transport the one or more end users over the transport route leg;
determining that at least one of the one or more end users is in proximity of a rendezvous location; and
transmitting a request for one or more transportation vehicle units to rendezvous with the one or more end users at the rendezvous location in order to transport the one or more end users over the at least one transport route leg responsive to the detecting that the at least one of the one or more end users is in proximity of the rendezvous location,wherein at least one of the receiving, presenting, determining, or transmitting is at least partially implemented using at least one processing device.

Abstract
Computationally implemented methods and systems that are designed for receiving a request for transporting one or more end users towards a destination location; presenting at least one or more portions of a travel plan for facilitating the one or more end users to travel to the destination location from a starting location, the travel plan identifying at least two route legs including at least one transport route leg that calls for at least one transportation vehicle unit to transport the one or more end users over the transport route leg; and transmitting a request for one or more transportation vehicle units to rendezvous with the one or more end users at a rendezvous location in order to transport the one or more end users over the at least one transport leg. In addition to the foregoing, other aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text.

2. A computationally-implemented system, comprising:
-
circuitry configured for receiving a request for transporting one or more end users to a destination location from a starting location; circuitry configured for presenting one or more portions of a travel plan for facilitating the one or more end users to travel to the destination location from the starting location, the travel plan identifying at least two route legs including at least one transport route leg that calls for at least one transportation vehicle unit to transport the one or more end users over the transport route leg; circuitry configured for determining that at least one of the one or more end users is in proximity of a rendezvous location; and circuitry configured for transmitting a request for one or more transportation vehicle units to rendezvous with the one or more end users at the rendezvous location in order to transport the one or more end users over the at least one transport route leg responsive to the detecting that the at least one of the one or more end users is in proximity of the rendezvous location. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)

41. A computer program product, comprising:
at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium including at least; one or more instructions for receiving a request for transporting one or more end users to a destination location from a starting location; one or more instructions for presenting one or more portions of a travel plan for facilitating the one or more end users to travel to the destination location from the starting location, the travel plan identifying at least two route legs including at least one transport route leg that calls for at least one transportation vehicle unit to transport the one or more end users over the transport route leg; one or more instructions for determining that at least one of the one or more end users is in proximity of a rendezvous location; and one or more instructions for transmitting a request for one or more transportation vehicle units to rendezvous with the one or more end users at the rendezvous location in order to transport the one or more end users over the at least one transport route leg responsive to the detecting that the at least one of the one or more end users is in proximity of the rendezvous location.
