Network computer system to implement additive service values for service providers

A method for arranging transportation services, the method being implemented by one or more processors and comprising:

• monitoring a plurality of requester devices to detect activities of requesters;
• monitoring a plurality of provider devices to detect activities of transportation providers;
• from the detected activities of requesters, forecasting a number of requesters in a given geographic region for a transport service during an upcoming time interval;
• estimating a target number of transportation providers to have available for requesters in the given geographic region during the upcoming time interval, to adequately provision for the forecasted number of requesters;
• from the detected activities of the transportation providers, projecting an actual number of transportation providers that will be available for requesters in the given geographic region during the upcoming time interval;
• and
• determining a supplemental value set for crediting transportation providers, in connection with the individual transport providers performing one or more activities that make the transport provider available, or more likely to be available, to provide transport service for requesters in the geographic region during the upcoming time interval, wherein determining the supplemental values set is based on a comparison of the estimated target number of transportation providers and the projected actual number of transportation providers.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of a network computer system, causes the network computer system to perform operations that include:

• monitoring a plurality of requester devices to detect activities of requesters;
• monitoring a plurality of provider devices to detect activities of transportation providers;
• from the detected activities of requesters, forecasting a number of requesters in a given geographic region for a transport service during an upcoming time interval;
• estimating a target number of transportation providers to have available for requesters in the given geographic region during the upcoming time interval, to adequately provision for the forecasted number of requesters;
• from the detected activities of the transportation providers, projecting an actual number of transportation providers that will be available for requesters in the given geographic region during the upcoming time interval;
• and
• determining a supplemental value set for crediting transportation providers, in connection with the individual transport providers performing one or more activities that make the transport provider available, or more likely to be available, to provide transport service for requesters in the geographic region during the upcoming time interval, wherein determining the supplemental values set is based on a comparison of the estimated target number of transportation providers and the projected actual number of transportation providers.
