Systems and methods for repositioning vehicles in a ride-hailing platform

A system comprising one or more processors and one or more non-transitory computer-readable memories coupled to the one or more processors, the one or more non-transitory computer-readable memories storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:

• obtaining a plurality of first signals corresponding to a vehicle and a plurality of second signals corresponding to supply-demand statuses in a plurality of neighboring areas of the vehicle;
• inputting the plurality of first and second signals into a trained neural network and obtaining, from the trained neural network, a plurality of action values for repositioning the vehicle to the plurality of neighboring areas respectively;
• determining, based on the plurality of action values, a plurality of probabilities for repositioning the vehicle to the plurality of neighboring areas respectively;
• determining, according to the plurality of probabilities, one of the plurality of neighboring areas for the vehicle to reposition to;
• and
• transmitting a signal to a computing device associated with the vehicle to reposition the vehicle to the one determined neighboring area.
