US 2023/0057527 A1 · INTELLIGENTLY TRANSMITTING DIGITAL TRANSPORTATION REQUESTS TO PROVIDER DEVICES TO INCREASE NETWORK COVERAGE TIME AND IMPROVE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM EFFICIENCY

Abstract

This disclosure describes a request distribution system that can intelligently distribute transportation requests to provider devices to improve transportation system network coverage and efficiency. For example, the disclosed systems can identify one or more provider devices (e.g., limited-eligibility provider devices or full-eligibility provider devices) as potential recipients for a transportation request. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems can further determine an expected change in network coverage time associated with providing the transportation request to one provider device versus another. The disclosed systems can provide the transportation request to a provider device according to the expected change in network coverage time and/or other transportation request metrics.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

receiving a transportation request from a requester device associated with a transportation matching system;
determining an expected change in network coverage time across a plurality of provider devices based on providing the transportation request to a provider device from the plurality of provider devices;
and
providing, based on the expected change in network coverage time, a transportation request notification to the provider device indicating the transportation request.

1 more element

A system comprising:

at least one processor;
and
a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
receive a transportation request from a requester device associated with a transportation matching system;
determine an expected change in network coverage time across a plurality of provider devices based on providing the transportation request to a provider device from the plurality of provider devices;
and
provide, based on the expected change in network coverage time, a transportation request notification to the provider device indicating the transportation request.

4 more elements

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a computing device to:

receive a transportation request from a requester device associated with a transportation matching system;
determine an expected change in network coverage time across a plurality of provider devices based on providing the transportation request to a provider device from the plurality of provider devices;
and
provide, based on the expected change in network coverage time, a transportation request notification to the provider device indicating the transportation request.
