Determining a topological location of a client device using received radio signatures

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions that, in response to executing, cause a device comprising a processor to perform operations, comprising:

• receiving, at a network system including one or more processors, from a computing device associated with a user, a set of service data including a request for a vehicle to transport the user from an origin location;
• determining, by the network system, a topological location of the computing device within a topological graph wherein the topological location is determined according to a plurality of signal strength indicators from a plurality of radio signals associated with one or more terrestrial wireless local area networks and received at the computing device;
• receiving a geospatial location of the computing device;
• determining, based on the topological location and the geospatial location, an estimated time of arrival of the user at a pickup location associated with the origin location;
• matching the user with a vehicle based on the estimated time of arrival of the user at the pickup location;
• and
• transmitting an instruction to the vehicle causing the vehicle to fulfill the request.

A computer system comprising:

• one or more computer processors for executing computer program instructions;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions executable by the one or more computer processors to perform steps comprising:
• receiving, at a network system including one or more processors, from a computing device associated with a user, a set of service data including a request for a vehicle to transport the user from an origin location;
• determining, by the network system, a topological location of the computing device within a topological graph that includes a pickup location associated with the origin location, wherein the topological location is determined according to a plurality of signal strength indicators from a plurality of radio signals associated with one or more terrestrial wireless local area networks and received at the computing device;
• determining a state of the computing device, wherein the state of the computing device includes an intrinsic state and a contextual state;
• determining, based on the topological location and the state of the computing device, an estimated time of arrival of the user at the pickup location;
