Location-spoofing detection system for a network service

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• receive, over one or more networks, location data from computing devices of drivers, each of the computing devices operating a designated application associated with an application service;
• determine, based at least in part on the location data received from a computing device of a respective driver, a set of locational attributes of the respective driver;
• execute a location-based feasibility model to determine that one or more anomalous locational attributes are present in the set of locational attributes of the respective driver, wherein the one or more anomalous locational attributes correspond to the respective driver jumping ahead in a queue of drivers awaiting matches with requesting riders;
• based at least in part on determining that one or more anomalous locational attributes are present, determine that the computing device of the respective driver is operating a location-spoofing application;
• and
• in response to determining that the computing device of the respective driver is operating a location-spoofing application, associate a data set with a driver profile of the respective driver.

A computer-implemented method of implementing an application service, the method being performed by one or more processors and comprising:

• receiving, over one or more networks, location data from computing devices of drivers, each of the computing devices operating a designated application associated with an application service;
• determining, based at least in part on the location data received from a computing device of a respective driver, a set of locational attributes of the respective driver;
• executing a location-based feasibility model to determining that one or more anomalous locational attributes are present in the set of locational attributes of the respective driver;
• based at least in part on determining that one or more anomalous locational attributes are present, determining that the computing device of the respective driver is operating a location-spoofing application;
• and
• in response to determining that the computing device of the respective driver is operating a location-spoofing application, associating a data set with a driver profile of the respective driver;
• wherein the one or more processors further determine whether the respective driver is operating a location-spoofing application by executing a motion simulation based on the location data received from the computing device of the respective driver.
