On-demand transport services

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

• communicate, over one or more networks, with computing devices of requesting users and transport providers utilizing a transport service;
• receive, over the one or more networks, utilization data from the computing devices of the requesting users, the utilization data corresponding to the computing devices of the requesting users operating an executing application specific to the transport service;
• process the utilization data by (i) executing a transit monitoring engine on the utilization data to detect a cluster of requesting users currently being transported by a third-party transit vehicle to an arrival location of the third-party transit vehicle, and (ii) executing a transport coordination engine on the utilization data to determine, for each requesting user in the cluster, an intent of the requesting user, the intent corresponding to a probability that the requesting user will utilize the transport service via the executing application upon arrival at the arrival location of the third-party transit vehicle;
• for each requesting user of the cluster of requesting users, determine a destination that requires additional transport from the arrival location of the third-party transit vehicle;
• and
• based on the destination of each requesting user of the cluster of requesting users and the determined intent of each requesting user to utilize the transport service, transmit, over the one or more networks, a set of transport facilitation requests to the computing devices of a selected set of the transport providers to facilitate transport for the cluster of requesting users at the arrival location of the third-party transit vehicle.

A computer-implemented method of managing transport, the method being performed by one or more processors and comprising:

• communicating, over one or more networks, with computing devices of requesting users and transport providers utilizing a transport service;
• receiving, over the one or more networks, utilization data from the computing devices of the requesting users, the utilization data corresponding to the computing devices of the requesting users operating an executing application specific to the transport service;
• processing the utilization data by (i) executing a transit monitoring engine on the utilization data to detect a cluster of requesting users currently being transported by a third-party transit vehicle to an arrival location of the third-party transit vehicle, and (ii) executing a transport coordination engine on the utilization data to determine, for each requesting user in the cluster, an intent of the requesting user, the intent corresponding to a probability that the requesting user will utilize the transport service via the executing application upon arrival at the arrival location of the third-party transit vehicle;
• for each requesting user of the cluster of requesting users, determining a destination that requires additional transport from the arrival location of the third-party transit vehicle;
• and
• based on the destination of each requesting user of the cluster of requesting users and the determined intent of each requesting user to utilize the transport service, transmitting, over the one or more networks, a set of transport facilitation requests to the computing devices of a selected set of the transport providers to facilitate transport for the cluster of requesting users at the arrival location of the third-party transit vehicle.
