System and method for predicting wait time

A system for providing transportation service, comprising:

• a communication interface;
• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor, coupled to the communication interface and the memory, configured to:
• determine a first queue position of the transportation service request at a first time point;
• determine a second queue position of the transportation service request at a second time point;
• determine a request processing speed based on the first and second queue positions and the first and second time points;
• determine, based on the request processing speed and the second queue position of the transportation service request, the predicted wait time;
• and
• provide, to the terminal device, the predicted wait time of the transportation service request.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed, cause at least one processor to perform a method for predicting wait time of a transportation service request, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a terminal device, the transportation service request;
• determining, by a processor, a first queue position of the transportation service request at a first time point;
• determining, by the processor, a second queue position of the transportation service request at a second time point;
• determining, by the processor, a request processing speed based on the first and second queue positions and the first and second time points;
• determining, based on the request processing speed and the second queue position of the transportation service request, the predicted wait time;
• and
• providing, to the terminal device, the predicted wait time of the transportation service request.
