Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method may include using location data from multiple devices improve the accuracy of location estimates for a rideable vehicle and/or provide calibration for location information. In some examples, at the end of a ride the system may record the location of the rider's device to augment the location data from the rideable vehicle. In another example, when a batch of rideable vehicles are delivered to a location, the system may use the location of the operator's device and/or the locations of other rideable vehicles in the batch to increase the accuracy of data for the location of any given rideable vehicle. In some embodiments, the system may detect the number of functioning location sensors to determine the confidence in the location of the vehicle. This confidence information can then be used in network decisions such as matching. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
