Abstract
The network system triggers registration of the start of a transport journey in response to a communication of a transport user device and a transport provider device with each other, performs a continuous coordinated proximity monitoring to verify the identity of a transport user and a transport provider vehicle, and triggers registration of the end of the transport journey through communication of the transport user device and the transport provider device with each other.

A method of displaying transport options in a ground transportation network, wherein the ground transportation network includes a transport provider management system, a matching engine, and a plurality of transport providers, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the transport provider management system, a transport request from a transport user device, wherein the transport user device includes a display device and is associated with a transport user, and wherein the transport request includes a start location and a destination location;
- identifying, by the matching engine, a plurality of transport options between the start location and the destination location, wherein identifying the plurality of transport options includes identifying a route of each of the transport providers, at least one of the transport providers comprising a shared private vehicle service guided by a transport provider device;
- and
- sending, by the transport provider management system, instructions for displaying the plurality of transport options on a map interface of the display device of the transport user device, the map interface displaying the identified route for each of the plurality of transport options, wherein an identified route between the start location and the destination location for the shared private vehicle service is calculated by the transport provider device.
A computer system for displaying transport options in a ground transportation network, wherein the ground transportation network includes a transport provider management system, a matching engine, and a plurality of transport providers, the system comprising:
- a memory having processor-readable instructions stored therein;
- and
- a processor configured to access the memory and execute the processor-readable instructions, which when executed by the processor configures the processor to perform a plurality of functions, including functions to:
- receive, by the transport provider management system, a transport request from a transport user device, wherein the transport user device includes a display device and is associated with a transport user, and wherein the transport request includes a start location and a destination location;
- identify, by the matching engine, a plurality of transport options between the start location and the destination location, wherein identifying the plurality of transport options includes identifying a route of each of the transport providers, at least one of the transport providers comprising a shared private vehicle service guided by a transport provider device;
- and
- send, by the transport provider management system, instructions for displaying the plurality of transport options on a map interface of the display device of the transport user device, the map interface displaying the identified route for each of the plurality of transport options, wherein an identified route between the start location and the destination location for the shared private vehicle service is calculated by the transport provider device.
