Network computer system to position transport providers using provisioning level determinations

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

• receive, over one or more networks, transport service requests from computing devices of requesters within a geographic region;
• match each transport service request with an available transport provider operating a service vehicle within the geographic region;
• determine a location bias for a first transport provider that operates a corresponding vehicle within the geographic region, the location bias being associated with a preferred location of the first transport provider;
• and
• match the first transport provider to a transport service request based on (i) the location bias of the first transport provider, and (ii) a destination of the transport service request which, upon fulfilling the transport service request, results in the first transport provider being positioned to arrive at the preferred location within a future time interval.

A computer-implemented method of operating a computer system, the method being performed by one or more processors and comprising:

• receiving, over one or more networks, transport service requests from computing devices of requesters within a geographic region;
• matching each transport service request with an available transport provider operating a service vehicle within the geographic region;
• determining a location bias for a first transport provider that operates a corresponding vehicle within the geographic region, the location bias being associated with a preferred location of the first transport provider;
• and
• matching the first transport provider to a transport service request based on (i) the location bias of the first transport provider, and (ii) a destination of the transport service request which, upon fulfilling the transport service request, results in the first transport provider being positioned to arrive at the preferred location within a future time interval.
