UTILIZING DIGITAL SIGNALS TO INTELLIGENTLY MONITOR CLIENT DEVICE TRANSIT PROGRESS AND GENERATE DYNAMIC PUBLIC TRANSIT INTERFACES

Abstract:

This disclosure describes an active public transit itinerary system that that utilize digital signals and public transit data to accurately, flexibly, and efficiently monitor client device transit progress across public transit vehicles and generate dynamic public transit interfaces. For example, based on comparing digital signals corresponding to the client device and public transit data, the active public transit itinerary system can determine when a client device is traveling on a public transit vehicle. Furthermore, the disclosed systems can actively generate (and provide for display via public transit graphical user interfaces) alternative public transit itineraries. For example, the disclosed systems can generate a public transit graphical user interface that includes updates to the public transit itinerary (e.g., based on downstream changes to public transit segments) or provides more efficient alternative travel paths to the destination.
