ABSTRACT:
A system and method of use for a viable alternative to private vehicles in urban areas is described. The system may include a number of vehicles, a number of checkout locations employing different technology according to specific geographic features of the location and a central computer system operatively coupled to the checkout locations and the vehicles at these locations which actively monitors the use of the vehicles in real-time. The system also includes demand predicting software operatively coupled to the central computer and the checkout locations to determine vehicle accessibility and availability. The goal is to build a system capable of matching the private vehicle's high availability ratio of apparently ninety-nine percent or greater.
