Abstract

See full text

Example embodiments described in this disclosure are generally directed to systems and methods for defining and operating a fleet of vehicles. In a first example method, a processor may evaluate a personal attribute of an individual such as, for example, an age of the individual (65+, under 65, infant, etc.) and/or a physical disability (requiring a wheelchair, for example). The processor selects a shared mobility service model that is defined, at least in part, on the basis of the personal attribute of the individual, and then applies the shared mobility service model to identify a first vehicle (having a wheelchair ramp, an infant seat, etc.). The identified vehicle is then assigned to provide service to the individual. In a second example method, a processor may evaluate a demography of a service area (various age groups, various physical disabilities, etc.) and generate a shared mobility service model based on the demography.
