Description

Method and device for managing combined travel

Technical Field

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to the field of computer technology and, more particularly, relate to a method, apparatus, electronic device, computer storage medium, and computer program product for managing a combined trip.

Background

With the development of the age, the travel modes of people are more and more diversified. For example, one may complete a relatively short distance trip by not going or sharing a single/electric vehicle. People may also complete relatively long distance trips by sharing vehicle services (e.g., taxis or express buses, etc.) or public transportation (e.g., buses or subways, etc.).

However, for some longer distance trips, a single trip may not be able to efficiently complete the trip. For example, in the case of traffic congestion, sharing vehicle services may take a longer time. Therefore, the travel efficiency of people can be improved by providing proper combination travel modes.

According to the embodiment of the disclosure, a plurality of combined travel routes determined based on different decision factors can be provided for a user, and information corresponding to the decision factors can be intuitively presented. Therefore, the user can more conveniently select the combined travel route, and the travel efficiency is improved.

The summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the detailed description. This summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the disclosure, nor is it intended to be used to limit the scope of the disclosure.

Detailed Description

Some example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While some embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

The term "comprising" and variations thereof as used herein means open ended, i.e., "including but not limited to. The term "or" means "and/or" unless specifically stated otherwise. The term "based on" means "based at least in part on". The terms "one example embodiment" and "one embodiment" mean "at least one example embodiment. The term "another embodiment" means "at least one additional embodiment". The terms "first," "second," and the like, may refer to different or the same object. Other explicit and implicit definitions are also possible below.

As discussed above, in some cases, a single trip may be difficult to efficiently complete a particular trip. Thus, some travel platform users begin to provide users with viable combined travel routes.

Conventional travel platforms (e.g., navigation tools or shared vehicle applications) merely provide users with a single combined travel route as an alternative to existing conventional single travel modes.

On the one hand, the user cannot understand the reason why such a combined travel route is recommended, which may be determined only from the forward direction angle. Such a combined travel route may not improve the travel efficiency of the user.

On the other hand, in some cases, the travel needs of the users may be different, and the recommendation of a single combined travel route may be difficult to satisfy the needs of the users. For example, some users may desire to be able to reach a destination in the shortest time, the recommended unique combination travel route may not be able to effectively save travel time; other users may desire to be able to reach the destination with minimal expense, and the recommended unique combination travel route may not be desirable to the user.

In view of this, embodiments of the present disclosure propose a scheme for managing combined trips. In this scheme, trip information indicating the start point and the end point of a trip may be acquired. Subsequently, a plurality of combined travel routes may be determined based on the trip information. Each of such multiple combined travel routes is determined based on a different one of a set of decision factors, and each combined travel route may include a shared travel portion (e.g., taxis, express buses, shared bicycles, shared electric vehicles, etc.) and a public transportation portion (e.g., buses and subways, etc.).

It should be understood that "decision factor" is intended herein to mean a determinant factor for determining a combined travel route. The set of decision factors for determining the combined travel route may comprise, for example, at least two of: economic cost, time cost, number of transfers, walking distance, or other suitable factors.

Further, route information associated with the plurality of combined travel routes may be presented, wherein the route information includes factor description information indicating decision factors corresponding to the respective combined travel routes.

According to such a scheme, the embodiment of the disclosure can simultaneously present a plurality of candidate routes determined based on different decision factors, so that a user can select a combined travel route which meets requirements according to the needs of the user. Therefore, the embodiment of the disclosure can help to improve the traveling efficiency of the user.

In addition, the embodiment of the disclosure can intuitively provide the factor description information for the user, so that the user can more conveniently select the combined travel route meeting the requirement.

Some example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with continued reference to the accompanying drawings.

Example Environment

FIG. 1 illustrates a block diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. As shown in fig. 1, a user may, for example, plan a trip from a start point 110 to an end point 120.

In some embodiments, the user may plan a journey from the start point 110 to the end point 120 through, for example, a navigation application or other travel application running on the terminal device 140. For example, the user may enter the location of the end point 120 in a navigation application and the location of the start point 110 is automatically determined by the terminal device 140 using a positioning module. Alternatively, the user may also enter the location of the start point 110 and the end point 120, for example, in a car-calling application.

As shown in fig. 1, after determining the start point 110 and the end point 120 of the trip, the terminal device 140 may further determine the combined travel route 130, for example. For example, the terminal device 140 may utilize its own computing power, or via the server device 160, determine the combined travel route 130.

Illustratively, the terminal device 140 may transmit trip information indicating the start point 110 and the end point 120 of the trip to the server device 160, and determine the combined travel route 130 based on the start point 110 and the end point 120 by the server device 160, and transmit information associated with the combined travel route 130 to the terminal device 140.

Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 1, the combined travel route 130 may include, for example, different segments, e.g., segment 130-1, that correspond to a taxi section from the origin 110 to the first subway station; a segment 130-2 corresponding to a subway segment from the first subway station to the transfer subway station; a segment 130-3 corresponding to a subway segment from a transfer subway station to a second subway station; and 130-4, which corresponds to a section of the drive from the second subway station to the destination 120.

In some embodiments, the terminal device 140 may provide information associated with the combined travel route 130 to the user, for example, through the interface 150, and allow the user to complete interactions related to the combined travel through the interface 150.

It should be appreciated that while fig. 1 depicts an example environment with the combined travel section 130 as an example, as highlighted above, the terminal device 140 may determine a plurality of combined travel routes (e.g., via the server device 160) and may utilize the interface 150 to provide route information related to the plurality of combined travel routes accordingly.

Recommendation of combined travel routes

An example recommendation mechanism for combining travel routes according to embodiments of the present disclosure will first be described in connection with fig. 2A-2C.

Example scenario one

In some embodiments, multiple combined travel routes may be provided to the user during planning of the journey by the navigation application or other travel application. Fig. 2A illustrates an example interface 200A according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 2A, the interface 200A may be, for example, a navigation interface of a navigation application, or a route planning interface in other travel applications.

As shown in fig. 2A, the user may indicate, for example, via interface 200A that the start of the trip is "a-cell south door" and the end is "E-cell east door". As shown in fig. 2A, the terminal device 140 may determine a plurality of combined travel routes and accordingly present route information associated with the plurality of combined travel routes in the interface 200A. The specific process of determining the combined travel route will be described in detail below with reference to fig. 4, and will not be described in detail here.

As shown in fig. 2A, the terminal device 140 may present three combined travel routes through the interface 200A, for example. Interface 200A may present a route summary of each route. For example, the route summary of the first route is "drive > line 3 > line 6 > drive", which is determined, for example, based on a decision factor "time cost"; the route summary of the second route is "drive > line 3 > line 2", which is determined, for example, based on the decision factor "economic cost"; the route overview of the third route is "drive > line 3 > drive", which is determined, for example, based on the decision factor "transfer number".

In some embodiments, to enable the user to quickly select a combined travel route that meets the current demand, interface 200A may also present factor information indicating the decision factors corresponding to each combined travel route.

For example, as shown in fig. 2A, the factor information corresponding to the first route may include, for example, the text "most time-saving" to indicate that the first route is determined based on the decision factor "time cost". The factor information corresponding to the second route may include, for example, the text "most offset" to indicate that the second route is determined based on the decision factor "economic cost". The factor information corresponding to the third route may include, for example, the text "least squares" to indicate that the third route is determined based on the decision factor "number of times of squares".

It should be understood that the above text is merely exemplary. Furthermore, "time-efficient" is not intended to mean a route that has the least time cost among all the possible combined travel routes. Instead, it is intended to mean that "time cost" is a decisive factor in determining the combined travel route. For example, the "most time-efficient" combined travel route may be the route of the least time cost, or may be a combined travel route of a time cost slightly higher than the least time cost, but of a higher route quality.

Similarly, "cheapest" and "least squares" are also intended to mean that "economic cost" and "number of times of transfers" are determining determinant factors of the corresponding combined travel route, rather than expressing the lowest economic cost or the least number of times of transfers in absolute terms.

In some embodiments, in order for the user to more accurately understand the quality of each combined travel route information, the route information provided by the interface 200A may further include quality information, where the quality information may include at least one of the following information for the combined travel service corresponding to the corresponding combined travel route: service price, service time consumption, or service comfort.

Illustratively, the route information corresponding to the first route may also include "36 minutes" and "26 elements" to indicate the price of the service and the time consumption of the service associated with the first route. Further, the terminal device 140 may also present the expected number of transfers (e.g., 1) and the expected walking distance (e.g., 800 meters) of the first route, for example, via the interface 200C (not shown), thereby indicating the service comfort corresponding to the first route to the user.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2A, the interface 200A may also include, for example, a map portion that may graphically represent the corresponding combined travel route via map elements. For example, for the drive-out portion, the interface 200A may visually represent the current traffic condition of the corresponding road segment, or the expected traffic condition when passing through the road segment in the future, by color (e.g., red for congestion, green for clear).

In some embodiments, the map portion may present information of the first route that is preferentially recommended by default, and may switch to displaying information of other road segments, for example, in response to a user selection.

In some embodiments, the terminal device 140 and/or the server device 160 may sort the plurality of combined travel routes to determine a recommended order for each combined travel route. In some embodiments, the terminal device 140 and/or 160 may determine a recommended order for each combined travel route, for example, with context information associated with the current trip, such context information may include, for example, historical trip information, time information for the trip, or the type of end point 120.

For example, in the event that authorization is obtained by the user, the terminal device 140 and/or the server device 160 may obtain information of the user's historical combined travel itinerary to determine the user's preferences. Further, the terminal device 140 and/or the server device 160 may responsively rank the current plurality of combined travel routes based on user preferences.

Alternatively, the terminal device 140 and/or the server device 160 may also determine the recommended order of the current plurality of combined travel routes based on a machine learning manner. For example, the terminal device 140 may translate a departure time such as a trip and/or a type of the terminal 120 (e.g., station, airport, company, home, etc.) into an input feature and process the input feature using a machine learning model to determine a recommended level for each combined trip route in the current scenario.

For example, in the example of fig. 2A, the first route that is "most time-efficient" may be determined to have the highest recommended level, for example. Thus, the first route may be prioritized in interface 200A and details of the first route are presented by default in the map portion.

In some embodiments, the user may also expand the details of the corresponding combined travel route, e.g., by selecting, and enable further interaction. The display and interaction of the route detail information will be described below in connection with fig. 2C.

Example scenario two

In some embodiments, multiple combined travel routes may also be provided to the user in the calling application. Fig. 2B illustrates an example interface 200B according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 2B, interface 200B may be, for example, a calling vehicle interface in a calling application.

As shown in fig. 2B, after determining the start and end points of the user-specified trip, the terminal device 140 may present an interface 200B to provide the user with a variety of alternative vehicle models. In some embodiments, interface 200B may also present combined travel recommendation information, unlike conventional calling vehicle interfaces. For example, the interface 200B may present the text "drive+subway is 14 minutes faster than full drive estimated 26 yuan" in the map portion as combined trip recommendation information.

In some embodiments, while only one combined travel route is recommended in fig. 2B, in other scenarios, the interface 200B may also recommend multiple combined travel routes via combined travel recommendation information, for example.

In some embodiments, the combined travel recommendation information may also characterize a difference between the combined travel service corresponding to the recommended combined travel route and at least one candidate shared travel service (e.g., express). Illustratively, in the example of fig. 2B, the combined travel recommendation information may characterize the difference between the combined travel service and the candidate shared travel service by the text "14 minutes fast".

In some embodiments, such differences may include, for example, price differences or time-consuming differences. Thus, the user can more intuitively know the advantages and disadvantages of the combined travel service.

In some embodiments, the interface 200B may be used, for example, to display multiple display styles of combined travel recommendation information, and the currently presented display style may be determined based on the difference between the recommended combined travel service and the candidate shared travel service.

For example, when the difference is greater than the first threshold, the interface 200B may highlight the combined travel recommendation information, for example. Such highlighting may include, for example, highlighting at least a portion of the combined travel recommendation information in a more intense manner, with a color contrast, with a font contrast, and so forth.

In some embodiments, such a difference may be based on a difference or ratio of prices or time consumption of the combined travel service and the candidate shared travel service. Illustratively, if the estimated time for the candidate shared travel service (e.g., express) is 50 minutes, and the estimated time for the recommended combined travel service is 36 minutes. The difference between the two can be determined, for example, as 14 minutes, or as a ratio of 50/36. When the difference is greater than the threshold, the interface 200B may, for example, highlight the combined travel recommendation information.

In some embodiments, when the variance is, for example, less than or equal to the first threshold but greater than the second threshold, the interface 200B may present the combined travel recommendation information in a different style, for example. For example, the interface 200B may highlight travel recommendation information as compared to the example shown in fig. 2B.

In some embodiments, when the variance is less than or equal to the second threshold, for example, the interface 200B may present only the word "drive + subway" without displaying specific time-consuming or price information for the recommended route.

Based on the mode, the embodiment of the disclosure can enable the user to more easily master the combined travel route with better travel efficiency, so that the user interaction experience is improved.

In some embodiments, when the user selects a corresponding portion of the travel recommendation information, for example, the terminal device 140 may further present the detailed information of the recommended combined travel route. The display and interaction of the route detail information will be described below in connection with fig. 2C.

Example scenario three

In some embodiments, multiple combined travel routes may also be provided directly to the user in the car-call application, navigation application, and/or other travel applications. Fig. 2C illustrates an example interface 200C according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, interface 200C may be, for example, an interface presented by a specialized combined travel module in a car-call application, navigation application, and/or other travel application. The user may enter the combined travel module, for example, and indicate the start and end of travel, so that an interface 200C as shown in fig. 2C may be obtained.

In some embodiments, the interface 200C may be presented, for example, in response to a user selection of one of the combined travel routes in the interface 200A as shown in fig. 2A. In some embodiments, the interface 200C may also be presented, for example, in response to a user selection of the combined recommendation information as shown in fig. 2B.

As shown in fig. 2C, interface 200C may present route information associated with a plurality of combined travel routes determined based on the trip information. Illustratively, the interface 200C may present a first route, which corresponds to, for example, "36 minutes throughout |predicted 26 yuan"; in addition, interface 200C may also present a second route, which corresponds to, for example, "full 46 minutes|predicted 18 yuan". In some embodiments, interface 200C may also present, for example, contrast information between different routes. For example, interface 200C may present a time-consuming difference and/or a price difference for the second route from the first route.

In some embodiments, similar to that discussed with reference to fig. 2A, interface 200C may also present factor information indicating the decision factors corresponding to each combined travel route.

For example, as shown in fig. 2C, the factor information corresponding to the first route may include, for example, the text "most time-saving" to indicate that the first route is determined based on the decision factor "time cost". The factor information corresponding to the second route may include, for example, the text "most offset" to indicate that the second route is determined based on the decision factor "economic cost".

In some embodiments, in order for the user to more accurately understand the quality of each combined travel route information, the route information provided by the interface 200C may further include quality information, where the quality information may include at least one of the following information for the combined travel service corresponding to the corresponding combined travel route: service price, service time consumption, or service comfort.

In some embodiments, interface 200C may also present route details of the target combined travel route. For example, the combined travel route may include a first section, a subway section, and a second section, and the interface 200C may present route detail information corresponding to the sections, respectively.

In some embodiments, the target combined travel route for the currently expanded details in interface 200C may be determined, for example, via user selection of particular information in interface 200A or interface 200B. Alternatively, the target combined travel route may be automatically determined, for example, based on the recommended order discussed above.

Alternatively, the target combined travel route may be determined in response to a user selection of particular information in interface 200C. For example, the user may click on a text element associated with the second route, causing interface 200C to expand to present details of the second route.

As shown in fig. 2C, in interface 200C, terminal device 140 may automatically determine a start point (e.g., "a cell south door", i.e., start point 110 of the trip) and an end point (e.g., "B subway station A1 port", i.e., subway start station determined based on the combined travel route) of the first travel segment.

In some embodiments, the terminal device 140 may further provide a first interface for requesting a first shared travel service for the shared travel portion of the target combined travel route. For example, taking fig. 2C as an example, terminal device 140 may provide a "confirm call" button via interface 200C. Through this button, the user can directly call the shared vehicle for the first section.

In some embodiments, the first interface may provide other types of shared travel services in addition to calling a shared vehicle, for example, such examples may include, but are not limited to: reserving a shared vehicle, viewing available shared vehicles (e.g., viewing available shared vehicles/electric vehicles/automobiles), enabling a shared vehicle (e.g., unlocking a shared vehicle/electric vehicle/automobile to begin service), locking a shared vehicle (e.g., locking a shared vehicle/electric vehicle/automobile to end service), contacting a shared vehicle service party (e.g., contacting a driver of a express bus), viewing trip information (e.g., viewing a location of a currently serviced vehicle), or paying a trip.

As shown in fig. 2C, for a subway section, the terminal device 140 may present specific site information of an upper subway and a lower subway through the interface 200C, for example, and provide description information about time consumption.

In some embodiments, the terminal device 140 may also present, for example, operational information of the public transportation means through the interface 200C. Such operation information may include, for example, next arrival time for which a subway needs to be taken, crowdedness degree, terminal information, or the like.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2C, for the second taxi cab, the terminal device 140 may present the start and end points of the cab, for example, through the interface 200C, with the expected time consumption and the expected price expected.

In some embodiments, as the combined trip progresses, the expected time consumption and the expected price of the second taxi section may be dynamically updated, for example, according to the expected congestion condition and/or the expected number of services for the corresponding time period, to enable the user to more accurately learn the expected information for the subsequent trip.

Acquiring combined travel services

An example process of acquiring a combined travel service according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below in conjunction with fig. 3A to 3E.

In some embodiments, in response to a user selection of the "confirm call" portal in interface 200C (i.e., the first interface), terminal device 140 may request a shared travel service (also referred to as a first shared travel service) for the first section of travel.

In the progress of the first shared travel service, the interface 200C may be updated to the interface 300A as shown in fig. 3A, for example. In interface 300A, a user may, for example, view the current location of the vehicle, view the remaining information of the trip, or view details of the driver, etc., through a "view order" portal.

In some embodiments, as the combined travel service proceeds, the terminal device 140 may present an interface 300B as shown in fig. 3B, for example, after the first driving session is completed. In interface 300B, terminal device 140 may provide a quick payment portal for payment of the first shared travel service for the first section of travel.

In some embodiments, when a target public transportation portion (e.g., a subway segment or a bus segment) is further included after the first section is determined, the terminal device 140 may further provide a hint information associated with the target public transportation portion based on completion of the first shared travel service.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 3C, in the payment completion interface 300C of the first section, the terminal device 140 may present a prompt message to indicate that the user needs to change to a subway. Thus, the embodiment of the disclosure can remind the user more effectively to assist the user to complete the selected combined travel route more effectively.

In some embodiments, after completing the first section of travel, the terminal device 140 may present, for example, a combined travel interface 300D as shown in fig. 3D. As shown in fig. 3D, interface 300D may include, for example, an entry for viewing the shared travel itinerary that has been completed, such as the button "view order".

Additionally, interface 300D may also provide a second interface at a portion corresponding to a mass transit service to be performed for requesting a mass transit service associated with the target mass transit portion. Public transportation services include, for example, at least one of: presenting a ride code, initiating NFC payment, viewing public transportation arrival information, or turning on/off a departure alert. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 3D, the second interface may include, for example, an entry "show ride" to assist the user in riding the subway more quickly.

Additionally, in response to the start of the public transportation service, the terminal device 140 may also provide more rich information about the public transportation service through the interface 300D, for example. Such information may include, for example: next arrival time of public transportation means, crowdedness degree or last bus information and the like.

In some embodiments, the terminal device 140 may also provide various types of alerts in response to the performance of public transportation services. For example, such reminders may include, but are not limited to: a reminder to get to a stop for a public transport to pick up, a reminder about a terminal of a public transport, a reminder to arrive at a transfer station or a reminder to arrive at an end station, etc.

In some embodiments, if a public transportation transfer situation exists, the terminal device 140 may provide the user with walking navigation about the transfer public transportation, for example, through the map portion of the interface 300D.

In some embodiments, if there is also a second shared travel portion after the target public transportation portion, the terminal device 140 may also assist the user in more efficiently obtaining a second shared travel service for the second shared travel portion.

In some embodiments, the terminal device 140 and/or the server device 160 may determine an expected wait time for the second shared travel service for the second shared travel section. For example, the terminal device 140 and/or the server device 160 may determine the expected wait time for requesting the second shared travel service in real time. For example, the terminal device 140 may determine that the expected time of the vehicle calling the second drive section is 4 minutes.

In some embodiments, the terminal device 140 may alert the user to begin calling the vehicle, for example, at least 4 minutes before ending the journey of the subway section. Illustratively, the terminal device 140 may present an interface 300E as shown in fig. 3E, and the "reserved vehicle" portal may be replaced with a "calling vehicle" portal.

In some embodiments, the terminal device 140 and/or the server device 160 may automatically request the second shared travel service at a first time before the target public transportation portion is completed based on the expected wait time. For example, terminal device 140 and/or server device 160 may automatically begin calling the vehicle, for example, at least 4 minutes before ending the journey of the subway section. Based on the mode, the embodiment of the disclosure can assist the user to link different types of traffic modes more efficiently, and avoid the situation that the user cannot effectively call the shared travel service due to poor subway signals.

An example combined travel interface interaction process of embodiments of the present disclosure is discussed above in connection with fig. 3A-3E.

Generation of combined travel routes

In some embodiments, as discussed above, terminal device 140 may determine a plurality of combined travel routes, for example, via server device 160. Specifically, the terminal device 140 may, for example, transmit a route acquisition request to the server device 160 based on the travel information, receive a response to the route acquisition request from the server device 160, and determine a plurality of combined travel routes based on the response. In some embodiments, the terminal device 140 may initiate the route retrieval request only if it is determined that the distance between the start point 110 and the end point 120 is greater than a predetermined distance, for example. Alternatively, the server device 140 may perform the process of generating the combined travel route only when it is determined that the distance between the start point 110 and the end point 120 is greater than a predetermined distance.

In some embodiments, after acquiring the trip information, the server device 160 may generate a plurality of combined trip routes corresponding to the plurality of decision factors. Such multiple decision factors may include, for example, economic cost, time cost, number of transfers, and/or walking distance.

Specifically, for a first decision factor of the plurality of decision factors, the server device 160 may first determine a set of candidate routes based on the first decision factor, and determine a target candidate route from the set of candidate routes as a combined travel route corresponding to the first decision factor of the plurality of combined travel routes.

As one example, the first decision factor may be an economic cost and the server device 160 may determine a minimum economic cost for the combined travel of the itineraries. For example, server device 160 may determine a route of all possible combined travel routes that has the smallest economic cost, which may be represented, for example, as X _min 。

Additionally, the server device 160 may determine a set of candidate routes based on the minimum economic cost, the economic cost of the set of candidate routes differing from the minimum economic cost by less than a first threshold. The server device 160 may, for example, determine that the economic cost is in the range [ X ] _min ，X _min +x]All combined travel routes within range are determined as the set of candidate routes. It should be appreciated that where X represents a first threshold value, which may be an absolute value, or based on X _min Is a predetermined percentage of the relative value determined.

As yet another example, the first decision factor may be, for example, a time cost, and the server device 160 may determine a minimum time cost for the combined travel of the itinerary. For example, server device 160 may determine a route of all possible combined travel routes that has a minimum time cost, which may be represented, for example, as T _min 。

Additionally, server device 160 may determine a set of candidate routes based on the minimum time cost, the time cost of the set of candidate routes differing from the minimum time cost by less than a second threshold. Illustratively, the server device 160 may, for example, determine to cost time in the range [ T ] _min ，T _min +t]All combined travel routes within range are determined as the set of candidate routes. It should be appreciated that where T represents a second threshold, which may be an absolute value, or based on T _min Is a predetermined percentage of the relative value determined.

It should be appreciated that server device 160 may determine a set of candidate routes for other decision factors (e.g., number of turns, walking distance) based on a similar manner.

In some embodiments, for a set of candidate routes determined for each decision factor, server device 160 may further determine a target candidate route from the set of candidate routes if the set of candidate routes includes multiple routes.

Specifically, the server apparatus 160 determines the route quality of a set of candidate routes, and determines a target candidate route from the set of candidate routes based on the route quality. In some embodiments, the route quality may be determined based on other quality factors that are different from the decision factors corresponding to the set of candidate routes.

For example, taking a decision factor as an example of an economic cost, the economic cost is in the range [ X _min ，X _min +x]All combined travel routes within range may be determined as the set of candidate routes, and the server device 160 may further determine, for example, a route having the smallest number of transfer times, the shortest time, or the shortest walking distance from the set of candidate routes as the target candidate route.

In some embodiments, server device 160 may also determine the route quality of the route, and thus the target candidate route, based on the above multiple quality factors simultaneously.

For examples where the decision factor is an economic cost, the quality factors considered by the server device 160 may include, for example: time cost, transfer times, transfer distance, etc.

Thus, as introduced above, the "economic cost" based target candidate route determined by the server device 160 is not necessarily the combined travel route having the absolute minimum economic cost.

In some embodiments, server device 160 may also filter the determined multiple-label combined travel route to determine a final multiple combined travel route to send to terminal device 140. In particular, the server device 160 may filter the multiple-label combined travel route such that a first service price corresponding to the transmitted multiple combined travel routes is less than a second service price of the shared travel service for the itinerary, and a difference in the first service price and the second service price is greater than a third threshold. Alternatively, the server device 160 may filter the multiple-label combined travel route such that a first service time consumption corresponding to the multiple combined travel route is less than a second service time consumption of the shared travel service, and a difference between the first service time consumption and the second service time consumption is greater than a fourth threshold.

Based on such approach, embodiments of the present disclosure may, for example, ensure that the recommended combined travel route is superior to a single shared travel way (e.g., a full travel drive) in at least some dimensions.

An example process of generating candidate combined travel routes according to embodiments of the present disclosure will be described further below in conjunction with fig. 4. In some embodiments, server device 160 may generate a set of candidate combined travel routes for a particular decision factor based on a path search algorithm.

In particular, server device 160 may determine a first set of public transportation routes associated with origin 110, wherein the first set of public transportation routes have a first set of stops located within a first distance of the origin.

Illustratively, the server device 160 may search for all public transportation routes within a predetermined range through the origin 110. Taking fig. 4 as an example, the server apparatus 160 may determine that, for example, the subway line 3 410 and the subway line 6 420 each pass through a predetermined range of the start point 110.

Similarly, the server device 160 may also determine a second set of public transportation routes associated with the destination 120, wherein the second set of public transportation routes have a second set of stops located within a second distance of the destination. Taking fig. 4 as an example, the server device 160 may determine that, for example, both the line No. 3 subway 410 and the line No. 6 subway 420 pass through a predetermined range of the end point 120.

Further, server device 160 may determine a set of candidate start sites from the first set of sites and a set of candidate end sites from the second set of sites based on the first decision factor and generate a set of candidate routes based on the set of candidate start sites and the set of candidate end sites.

In some embodiments, for each public transportation route associated with the origin 110, the server device 160 may determine one site corresponding to the first decision factor from all sites located within the public transportation route that are located within the predetermined area.

For example, taking the decision factor of "economic cost" as an example, server device 160 may determine the expected taxi-taking cost from origin 110 to each of the stops of the public transportation route within the predetermined range to determine the stop with the lowest taxi-taking cost on subway line 3 410, such as stop 415-1. Further, the site 415-1 may be determined as a candidate starting site, for example. Similarly, for the geodesic No. 6 420, the server device 160 may determine the site 425-1 as a candidate starting site.

In a similar manner, server device 160 may also determine, for each different decision factor, the corresponding site on the public traffic line as a candidate starting site.

Similarly, for each public transportation route associated with the endpoint 120, the server device 160 may determine a site corresponding to the first decision factor from all sites located within the public transportation route that are located within the predetermined area.

For example, taking the decision factor "economic cost" as an example, the server device 160 may determine the expected taxi-taking cost for each stop of the public transportation route within the predetermined range to the destination 120 to determine the stop with the lowest taxi-taking cost on the subway line 3 410, such as the stop 415-2. Further, the site 415-2 may be determined as a candidate ending site, for example. Similarly, for the geodesic No. 6 420, the server device 160 may determine the site 425-2 as a candidate ending site.

After determining the set of candidate start sites and the set of candidate end sites, server device 160 may further determine a likely combined travel route based on the shortest path search method. In particular, the server device 160 may construct a graph model based on the start point, the candidate start point station, the candidate end station, the end point, and other public transportation stations, and determine the candidate combined travel route based on a shortest path determination method in the graph model.

Taking the decision factor as an example of "economic cost", the server apparatus 160 may construct a graph model in which each node corresponds to, a start point, a candidate start point site, a candidate end site, an end point, and other public transportation sites, and the connection line between each node corresponds to the economic cost from one point to another.

Taking the decision factor as a "time cost" as an example, the server device 160 may construct a graph model in which each node corresponds to, a start point, a candidate start point site, a candidate end site, an end point, and other public transportation sites, and the links between each node correspond to the time cost from one point to another.

In some embodiments, to account for transfer time costs in the same site, the same physical site may correspond to, for example, multiple nodes connected to each other in the graph model, and the links between the nodes represent the time costs of transfer.

Further, the server device 160 may determine the shortest path from the start point to the end point, for example, based on a bi-directional Dijkstra algorithm, thereby determining the corresponding candidate combined travel route. In some embodiments, server device 160 may, for example, modify the travel pattern of the segment to walking when the distance from the origin to the origin site in the generated candidate combined travel route is less than a threshold. Similarly, when the distance from the ending point to the ending point in the generated candidate combined travel route is less than the threshold, the server device 160 may, for example, modify the travel pattern of the segment to walking.

Based on the above discussion, embodiments of the present disclosure may more effectively determine a combined travel route corresponding to each of the different decision factors.
