Computing system implementing a driver selection process based on device location

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

• establish a geofence associated with a particular service area of the transport service;
• monitor a location of a computing device of a driver based on location data received from a location sensor of the computing device of the driver;
• detect, based on the monitored location, when the driver enters the geofence;
• in response to detecting the driver entering the geofence, place the driver into a queue of drivers of the transport service for the particular service area;
• receive, over the one or more networks, a transport request from a computing device of a requesting user, the transport request being associated with the particular service area;
• and
• arrange the transport service for the requesting user in accordance with the set of rules by (i) selecting a driver from the queue to service the transport request for the requesting user, and (ii) communicating, over one or more networks, a transport invitation to service the transport request to a computing device of the selected driver.

A computer-implemented method of managing a transport service, the method being performed by one or more processors and comprising:

• establishing a geofence associated with a particular service area of the transport service;
• monitoring a location of a computing device of a driver based on location data received from a location sensor of the computing device of the driver;
• detect, based on the monitored location, when the driver enters the geofence;
• in response to detecting the driver entering the geofence, placing the driver into a queue of drivers of the transport service for the particular service area;
• receiving, over one or more networks, a transport request from a computing device of a requesting user, the transport request being associated with the particular service area;
• and
• arranging the transport service for the requesting user in accordance with the set of rules by (i) selecting a driver from the queue to service the transport request for the requesting user, and (ii) communicating, over one or more networks, a transport invitation to service the transport request to a computing device of the selected driver.
