BluSmart, an electric vehicle (EV) service, obtained a US patent for an improved trip matching, driver efficiency, and charging use system, with promises of 97% on-time arrivals, fair pricing, and lower emissions.
The Indian company BluSmart, which offers charging and e-mobility services, said last week that the USPTO had granted it a patent. The patent “Systems and Methods for Allocating Vehicles to Ride Requests,” which was granted on August 6, 2024, intends to improve driver productivity, ride matching, and charging station usage.
Shorter wait times, fair pricing, and consistent service with 100% uptime are promised by the company via its proprietary method. In addition, it will help drivers find the closest EV charging station and travel seamlessly from ride requests to customer pickup.
BluSmart claims that this will be made possible by a predictive algorithm that matches rides with available charging stations and current charge levels in order to anticipate demand, optimize driver placement, and alleviate EV range anxiety. In particular, the system targets 97% of arrivals on time and attempts to lower carbon emissions in Bengaluru, Dubai, and Delhi NCR.
The business added that it gives users wait time predictions and other options, as well as driver incentives during peak hours.
BluSmart’s co-founder and chief technology officer, Rishabh Sood, commented on the US patent, saying, “With this technology, we can maximize our fleet’s utilization and charging infrastructure.” Our dedication to promoting innovation and improving the consumer experience is validated by this patent.
BluSmart, which has its headquarters in Gurugram, was founded in 2019. Sood, who has become well-known in South Asia’s electric mobility services market, views the patent as a significant achievement for the business that showcases its inventiveness and technological prowess.
