On-demand rental of electric vehicles
A location associated with an on-demand electric vehicle is determined dynamically during a ride to be associated with one or more restrictions. Configuration data is used to enforce the one or more restrictions with respect to operation of the on-demand electric vehicle in connection with the ride.
1. A system, comprising:
a processor configured to:
determine dynamically during a ride that a location associated with an on-demand electric vehicle is associated with one or more restrictions; and
use configuration data to enforce the one or more restrictions with respect to operation of the on-demand electric vehicle in connection with the ride;
determine whether a rental associated with the on-demand electric vehicle has ended;
update a database in response to the rental associated with the on-demand electric vehicle ending; and
a communication interface coupled to the processor, wherein the communication interface is configured to receive an indication that the on-demand electric vehicle has fallen.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine the location associated with the on-demand electric vehicle.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more restrictions include a restricted area.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more restrictions include an area subject to a speed restriction.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the configuration data includes maximum speed data associated with the one or more restrictions.
6. The system of claim 4 , wherein to use the configuration data, the processor is configured to apply the configuration data to modify a configuration of the on-demand electric vehicle.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the communication interface is configured to receive an indication of the rental associated with the on-demand electric vehicle.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the indication includes data associated with one or more sensors of the on-demand electric vehicle.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to provide via a user interface information indicating that the on-demand electric vehicle is in a fallen position.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the communication interface is configured to receive a selection of the on-demand electric vehicle and the processor is configured to update information provided by the user interface based on the received selection.
11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the communication interface is configured to receive an indication that the selected fallen on-demand electric vehicle is in an up-right position and the processor is configured to provide an incentive associated with the selected fallen on-demand electric vehicle.
12. The system of claim 1 wherein the communication interface is configured to receive location data associated with the on-demand electric vehicle and the processor is configured to:
compare the received location data associated with the on-demand electric vehicle with one or more inefficient use zones; and
determine that the on-demand electric vehicle is located in an inefficient use zone.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the one or more inefficient use zones include at least one of a low demand zone, an high-saturation zone, or a high theft/vandalism zone.
14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine one or more efficient use zones for the on-demand electric vehicle.
15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
provide via a user interface information indicating that the on-demand electric vehicle is located in an inefficient use zone;
receive via the user interface a selection of the on-demand electric vehicle; and
provide via the user interface a location of one or more efficient use zones for the on-demand electric vehicle.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the communication interface is configured to receive an indication that the on-demand electric vehicle is located in one of the one or more efficient use zones and the processor is configured to provide an incentive associated with the on-demand electric vehicle.
17. A method, comprising:
determining dynamically during a ride that a location associated with an on-demand electric vehicle is associated with one or more restrictions;
using configuration data to enforce the one or more restrictions with respect to operation of the on-demand electric vehicle in connection with the ride;
determining whether a rental associated with the on-demand electric vehicle has ended;
updating a database in response to the rental associated with the on-demand electric vehicle ending; and
receiving an indication that the on-demand electric vehicle has fallen.
18. A computer program product, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
determining dynamically during a ride that a location associated with an on-demand electric vehicle is associated with one or more restrictions;
using configuration data to enforce the one or more restrictions with respect to operation of the on-demand electric vehicle during the ride;
determining whether a rental associated with the on-demand electric vehicle has ended;
updating a database in response to the rental associated with the on-demand electric vehicle ending; and
receiving an indication that the on-demand electric vehicle has fallen.
