Abstract

An automated vehicle dispatch and payment honoring system which is comprised of a computerized system with specialized software which enables a user to select a particular Taxi or vehicular transport company from a menu, along with the desired destination and number of passengers traveling. The software provides multi-lingual, user-friendly menu driven choices, which might include advertising for restaurants, hotels, etc. The system then displays the approximate fare and provides alternative forms of payment which are honored by that particular transport company. This system might include individualized computerized stands or wall unit strategically positioned in such crowded places as airports, hotels, and banks. Such stands could electronically receive and scan credit or debit cards. The software system might also be accessed via computer or telephonic link. The finalized request for service is relayed to a dispatcher via telecommunication, satellite, or computer link. The dispatcher can then route the appropriate vehicle to the requesters location whereby a pre-printed credit voucher, as verified and generated by the system could be exchanged for the transportation services rendered.
