Abstract
A method for automated booking of an on-demand service in a multimodal journey includes receiving information related to a multimodal trip plan for a commuter trip. The multimodal trip plan includes a plurality of segments, and the plurality of segments include an on-demand service segment that requires an on-demand service vehicle as the mode of transport. The method also includes receiving real-time information relating to a location of the commuter from one or more location tracking sensors, determining an estimated time of arrival of the commuter at a transfer point for transfer to the on-demand service segment by analyzing the real-time information, identifying a time of availability of an on-demand service vehicle at the transfer point (as a function of a time of booking), and determining an optimal time of booking of the on-demand service vehicle based on the estimated time of arrival and the time of availability.
