Managing the operational state of a vehicle

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer program instructions for assigning a service provider for a transport service based on an operational state of a transportation vehicle, the computer program instructions, when executed by one or more processors, causing the one or more processors to:

• obtain, over one or more networks, real-time vehicle data of a plurality of transportation vehicles, each transportation vehicle of the plurality of transportation vehicles providing the vehicle data using one or more on-board sensors, the vehicle data of each transportation vehicle including (i) at least one operational parameter indicating an efficiency of the transportation vehicle while being operated, and (ii) data indicating a model of the transportation vehicle;
• receive, over the one or more networks, a request from a service requestor for a transport service from a starting location to an ending location;
• for each of the plurality of transportation vehicles, (i) determine a distance of travel from a current location of the transportation vehicle to the starting location, and from the starting location to the ending location;
• (ii) determine an efficiency score for the transportation vehicle based on the vehicle data obtained from that transportation vehicle;
• and (iii) determining an amount of time in which the transportation vehicle has been operating continuously;
• selecting one of the plurality of transportation vehicles based, at least in part, on (i) the amount of time determined the selected transportation vehicle has been operating continuously;
• (ii) the determined distance of each of the plurality of transportation vehicles;
• and (iii) the efficiency score of each of the plurality of transportation vehicles;
• and
• transmit, over the one or more networks, an assignment request to a client device associated with the selected transportation vehicle.
