Systems and methods for automated signaling for networked personal mobility vehicles

Abstract:

The disclosed computer-implemented method may include automated signaling for networked personal mobility vehicles (PMVs). In some embodiments, a system may identify a PMV in use by a transportation requestor taking a trip. The system may also predict one or more actions of the PMV based on navigational data for the trip. Additionally, the system may select one or more signals corresponding to a predicted action of the PMV. In some embodiments, the system may determine, based on a current state of the PMV, that the predicted action of the PMV will be initiated within a time frame. Furthermore, the system may send a start command to the PMV to initiate a signal in response to determining the predicted action will be initiated. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
