If there are i traffic lights on the optimal path L for passengers from a specific location to the corresponding fixed location, i=0, 1, 2,...N, the historical average waiting time of each traffic light is ti, and the sub-path before each red light The length is Li, the historical average speed of passengers passing through this sub-path is Vi, the length of the sub-path before the fixed point is Lend, the historical average speed of passengers passing through this sub-path is Vend, and the passenger is currently on the sub-path before the first red light , its length is L1, and the passenger's current speed is v, then the calculation method of the estimated time T2 is:

When the passenger logs out from the terminal device or cancels the ride request, the passenger queue will automatically delete the passenger and adjust the queue status in real time, and the positions of other passengers behind the passenger in the queue will be adjusted one by one.

The passenger queue adjusts the queue status in real time according to the distance of the passenger to the fixed location. The closer the passenger is to the fixed location, the higher the passenger is ranked in the passenger queue. Preferably, the passenger queue adjusts the queue status in real time according to the estimated time when passengers arrive at a fixed location. The shorter the expected time for the passenger to arrive at the fixed location, the higher the passenger's ranking in the passenger queue. Passengers with unknown estimated times are at the end of the passenger queue.

The expected time is shorter. FIG. 10F is another situation where the passenger queue shown in FIG. 10A changes after a certain period of time, in which the passenger list element 1003 is adjusted to the front of the passenger queue by one position, indicating that the passenger at the front of the passenger queue has exited the queue.

Preferably, the passenger queue determines the queue status according to the sequence in which passengers log in to the terminal device or the sequence in which passengers submit ride requests on the terminal device. When the distance from the passenger to the fixed location is less than a threshold, the passenger can log in the terminal device or submit a ride request on the terminal device. Preferably, the distance is the optimal path length for passengers to the corresponding fixed location. Preferably, when the estimated time for the passenger to arrive at the fixed location is shorter than a threshold, the passenger can log in to the terminal device or submit a ride request on the terminal device. The calculation method of the estimated time is any one of the aforementioned estimated time calculation methods.

(2) Vehicle queues and passenger queues are matched to realize parking.

When the driver enters the vehicle queue at one or more fixed locations in any of the aforementioned ways, the terminal device calculates the optimal route for the vehicle to pass through each fixed location, and combines the number of available seats provided by the vehicle, according to the optimal route at each fixed location. The sequence on the optimal route matches the corresponding passengers in turn. Preferably, after the matching of the current fixed location is completed, if there are no unmatched passengers in the passenger queue and there are still available seats in the vehicle, the matching of the next fixed location is continued. If the vehicle has no remaining available seats after the matching of the current fixed location, the vehicle will be removed from the vehicle queue at the fixed location that does not participate in the matching on the optimal route. According to the above matching results, the terminal device prompts the driver with text and voice to the fixed place that the driver should currently go to. Preferably, the terminal device displays to the driver the vehicle queue and the passenger queue at the fixed location to go to in the form of a full-screen window or a sub-window. Preferably, the terminal device displays map navigation to the current fixed location to the driver in the form of a full-screen window or a sub-window. Preferably, the vehicle queue adjusts the number of remaining seats of the corresponding vehicle in real time according to the above matching process.

Fig. 11 is a schematic diagram of the matching situation between vehicle queues and passenger queues at a fixed location. Both the driver and the passengers can preview the page through the client. Taking the driver as an example here, the vehicle 1106 marked with a five-pointed star is the driver's own vehicle, and one or more passengers 1101 at the front of the passenger queue have the same one or more queues status, and one or more passengers 1101 with the same queue status take the same vehicle. Preferably, the vehicle 1102 at the front of the vehicle queue has one or more of the same queue statuses as one or more passengers 1101 at the front of the passenger queue. Similarly, one or more passengers 1103 in the passenger queue have the same one or more queue statuses as the vehicle 1104 in the vehicle queue, and one or more passengers 1103 ride in the vehicle 1104; similarly, the passenger 1105 rides in the vehicle 1106, while the vehicle 1107 has no passengers to match. Preferably, the passenger clicks the "map" button 1108 on the page, and the terminal device will display the surrounding map of the fixed location to the passenger in the form of a full-screen window or sub-window, and update the position of the vehicle on the map in real time. FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram showing a real-time location map preview of a vehicle, which shows the real-time locations of a passenger 1201 and a vehicle 1202 .

The higher the order in the queue.

When one or more passengers at the front end of the passenger queue have the same distance to the fixed location or the expected time to arrive at the fixed location, the higher the passenger's priority, the higher the passenger's order in the passenger queue . Preferably, when the distance from one or more passengers at the front end of the passenger queue to the fixed location or the estimated time to arrive at the fixed location is less than a threshold, the priority of the passenger is higher, and the passenger has a higher priority than the passenger. The higher the order in the queue.

Preferably, the driver manually selects one or more passengers in the passenger queue, and the selected one or more passengers are updated to the same one or more queue statuses as the vehicle. Preferably, the passenger manually selects a vehicle in the vehicle platoon, and the passenger and the vehicle are updated to the same one or more platoon states.
