Ride-share Accessibility Device Orientation Matching

The system performs preliminary actions by having passengers register their accessibility device information (type, dimensions, weight) in advance through the mobile application. This pre-registration enables the server to pre-filter and match appropriate vehicles before the ride request is fulfilled, eliminating the need for complex on-site assessments and ensuring accessibility requirements are met without adding operational complexity to the vehicle fleet.

The solution segments the ride-share system into distinct functional modules: passenger device registration module, server matching module, and vehicle assignment module. The accessibility device information is segmented into specific parameters (type, dimensions, weight) that are independently evaluated. This segmentation allows the system to handle accessibility requirements through software logic rather than physical vehicle modifications.

The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring the real-time orientation of the accessibility device using motion sensors and comparing it against the optimal boarding orientation. When misalignment is detected, the system provides guidance feedback to the passenger through the mobile application, enabling them to self-correct the device orientation. This feedback loop ensures safe and comfortable boarding without requiring extended waiting time, as adjustments are made efficiently based on real-time data.

The solution enables self-service by empowering passengers to independently adjust their accessibility device orientation based on guidance from the mobile application. The application provides step-by-step instructions and real-time orientation feedback, allowing passengers to perform the alignment themselves without requiring driver assistance or additional personnel. This self-service approach maintains boarding safety and comfort while minimizing time loss.
