Systems and methods of gig-economy fleet mobilization

A computer system for coordination of gig-economy services, the computer system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a program memory coupled to the one or more processors and storing executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computer system to:
• obtain an indication of a triggering event associated with an elevated level of current demand for a type of gig-economy service associated with an emergency condition in an area, which emergency condition is unplanned and affects a plurality of gig-economy service consumers associated with the area;
• receive availability data regarding current availability of a plurality of gig-economy workers associated with a gig-economy platform for the type of gig-economy service;
• and
• coordinate performance of the type of gig-economy service by at least some of the plurality of gig-economy workers for at least some of the plurality of gig-economy service consumers during the emergency condition by:
• identifying a plurality of inactive gig-economy workers of the plurality of gig-economy workers based at least in part upon each of such inactive gig-economy workers matching parameters associated with the elevated level of current demand, wherein each of the plurality of inactive gig-economy workers is not currently performing the type of gig-economy service and is indicated as being unavailable for gig-economy work through the gig-economy platform;
• causing an alert to be sent to respective computing devices of each of the plurality of inactive gig-economy workers to indicate the elevated level of current demand, wherein the alert causes the respective computing device associated with each of the plurality of inactive gig-economy workers to present a notification of the elevated level of current demand while the respective inactive gig-economy worker is not currently performing the type of gig-economy service and is indicated as being unavailable for gig-economy work through the gig-economy platform, such that a display of each of the respective computing devices presents a notification to the respective inactive gig-economy worker.

A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable instructions for coordination of gig-economy services that, when executed by one or more processors of a computer system, cause the computer system to:

• obtain an indication of a triggering event associated with an elevated level of current demand for a type of gig-economy service associated with an emergency condition in an area, which emergency condition is unplanned and affects a plurality of gig-economy service consumers associated with the area;
• receive availability data regarding current availability of a plurality of gig-economy workers associated with a gig-economy platform for the type of gig-economy service;
• and
• coordinate performance of the type of gig-economy service by at least some of the plurality of gig-economy workers for at least some of the plurality of gig-economy service consumers during the emergency condition by:
• identifying a plurality of inactive gig-economy workers of the plurality of gig-economy workers based at least in part upon each of such inactive gig-economy workers matching parameters associated with the elevated level of current demand, wherein each of the plurality of inactive gig-economy workers is not currently performing the type of gig-economy service and is indicated as being unavailable for gig-economy work through the gig-economy platform;
• and
• causing an alert to be sent to respective computing devices of each of the plurality of inactive gig-economy workers to indicate the elevated level of current demand, wherein the alert causes the respective computing device associated with each of the plurality of inactive gig-economy workers to present a notification of the elevated level of current demand while the respective inactive gig-economy worker is not currently performing the type of gig-economy service and is indicated as being unavailable for gig-economy work through the gig-economy platform, such that a display of each of the respective computing devices presents a notification to the respective inactive gig-economy worker.
