Systems and methods for monitoring on-route transportations

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method and system for monitoring on route transportations. The method includes obtaining a driving route of a target vehicle; obtaining a reference position on the driving route away from a first current position of the target vehicle; determining a second current position of the target vehicle after a reference time; determining a distance between the second current position and the reference position is greater than a preset distance; and sending a signal to a target terminal indicating that the target vehicle is off-route.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An on-route transportations monitoring system for sending an emergency alert to a target terminal, comprising:
 one or more network ports to communicate with user terminals registered with an online transportation service platform;   logic circuits coupled to the one or more network ports, wherein during operation the logic circuits:
 initiate a transportation transaction between a first party and a second party through the online transportation service platform; 
 obtain a driving route of a target vehicle associated with the transportation transaction; 
 determine a current position of the target vehicle after a reference time since the transportation transaction has been initiated; 
 determine a point of interest (POI) near the current position of the target vehicle; 
 determine a distance between the current position and the POI is greater than a preset distance; and 
 send a signal to a target terminal indicating an abnormal condition that the target vehicle is off-route. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein a POI database is preset, and the POI is selected from the POI database. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the logic circuits further:
 determine an occurrence of an emergency associated with the target vehicle based on the signal.   
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the signal includes at least one of the current position of the target vehicle, a current traffic condition of the current position, the POI, a current time, a difference between the current position and the POI, the driving route of the target vehicle, identity information of a driver or passenger, a photo of the driver or passenger, or identification information of the target vehicle. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the logic circuits further:
 cause a user terminal associated with the first party or the second party to display a reminder associated with the abnormal condition on a user interface, the reminder including an alert button configured to allow the first party or the second party to confirm an occurrence of an emergency;   determine the occurrence of the emergency by receiving confirmation from the user terminal; and   cause the user terminal to present help options.   
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the target terminal includes at least one of a third party terminal, a predefined platform, or a data center. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the third party terminal includes a terminal around the current position of the target terminal. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the logic circuits further:
 send a message to the target terminal before an occurrence of an emergency, the message including registered identification information of the target vehicle, a real-time position of the target vehicle, a photo of a driver of the target vehicle, or an image of the target vehicle.   
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the logic circuits further:
 in response to determining that the distance between the current position and the POI is within the preset distance, determine that the target vehicle is safe on-route.   
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the logic circuits further:
 send an audio indication to the target terminal, the audio indication comprising at least one of the current position, the POI, a distance between the current position and a next POI, a direction the target vehicle is moving toward, or whether the direction is to be changed.   
     
     
         11 . An on-route transportations monitoring method for sending an emergency alert to a target terminal, comprising:
 initiating, by at least one computer server, a transportation transaction between a first party and a second party through the online transportation service platform;   obtaining, by at least one computer server, a driving route of a target vehicle associated with the transportation transaction;   determining, by at least one computer server, a current position of the target vehicle after a reference time since the transportation transaction has been initiated;   determining, by at least one computer server, a point of interest (POI) near the current position of the target vehicle;   determining, by at least one computer server, a distance between the current position and the POI is greater than a preset distance; and   sending, by at least one computer server, a signal to a target terminal indicating an abnormal condition that the target vehicle is off-route.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein a POI database is preset, and the POI is selected from the POI database. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 determining an occurrence of an emergency associated with the target vehicle based on the signal.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the signal includes at least one of the current position of the target vehicle, a current traffic condition of the current position, the POI, a current time, a difference between the current position and the POI, the driving route of the target vehicle, identity information of a driver or passenger, a photo of the driver or passenger, or identification information of the target vehicle. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 causing a user terminal associated with the first party or the second party to display a reminder associated with the abnormal condition on a user interface, the reminder including an alert button configured to allow the first party or the second party to confirm an occurrence of an emergency;   determining the occurrence of the emergency by receiving confirmation from the user term inal; and   causing the user terminal to present help options.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the target terminal includes at least one of a third party terminal, a predefined platform, or a data center.
