Abstract: A method or system for automatically detecting vulnerabilities. The system obtains an identifier associated with a vulnerability and one or more vulnerability detection parameters associated with the vulnerability. The system also obtains a script based in part on the one or more vulnerability detection parameters. The system then periodically executes the script to determine whether the vulnerability has been remediated or reintroduced. Responsive to determining that the vulnerability has been remediated, the system transmits a request to a vulnerability tracking system to resolve a security alert. Responsive to determining that the vulnerability has been reintroduced, the system transmits a request to the vulnerability tracking system to reactivate the security alert.

Abstract: A computer system receives a freight request from a shipper, where the freight request specifies a destination for a load of the shipper. The computer system implements a selection process to select a freight operator to haul a corresponding trailer of the trailer module from a location of the shipper to a destination. The trailer module may be monitored using information transmitted from the trailer, to determine when the trailer is picked up and/or delivered at the destination.

Abstract: A method of dynamically adjusting access privileges of system identities. A set of access logs associated with a system are analyzed in order to generate a restricted access policy for an over privileged system identity. An initial access policy of the system identity is replaced with the restricted access policy and a continuous monitoring and access management (CMAM) service is initiated. Access logs are collected for a monitoring time window and an access denied error can be extracted from the access logs. The access denied error can be compared to an ignore list and/or the access denied error can be added to the ignore list. Authorization checks can be performed to determine if the action associated with the access denied error is authorized. If the action is authorized, the access policy is adjusted to allow for performance of the action.

Abstract: Systems and methods herein describe a network system for federated searching. The systems and methods receive a search query, transmit the search query to search providers, receive search results corresponding to the search query, extract metadata from each search result, generate matched groupings comprising a first search results that have matching metadata, generate a ranked list of the matched groupings and a plurality of relevance scores, identify a second subset of search results based on the ranked list of matched groupings, and cause display of the second subset of search results on a graphical user interface of a computing device.

Abstract: A transportation management system generates routing guidance from an origin location to a destination location by modifying edge weights in a graph of a geographic location to penalize difficult immediate maneuvers. Responsive to receiving a routing request, the system identifies a position of a provider device in a base map having edges representing road segments and nodes representing intersections between road segments. A sub-graph is generated for the edges in the base graph located up to a threshold distance from the origin location, and the system modifies the weight of one or more edges in the sub-graph corresponding to a difficult immediate maneuver. When applying a routing algorithm to generate the routing guidance, the system uses the edge weights of the generated sub-graph for a first portion of the routing guidance and the original edge weights of the base graph for a second portion of the routing guidance.

Abstract: Systems and methods for advertisement-based vehicle matching and routing. For example, a computer-implemented method includes obtaining data associated with a vehicle service request. The data associated with the vehicle service request is indicative of a pick-up location and a destination location associated with the vehicle service request. The method includes determining, from among a plurality of candidate vehicles, a selected vehicle for the vehicle service request based on the data indicative of the vehicle service request, candidate advertisement content items, and candidate routes for the plurality of candidate vehicles. The method includes communicating data that initiates display of a selected advertisement content item by a display device positioned on an exterior of the selected vehicle. The method includes communicating data indicative of route information to a computing device associated with the selected vehicle. The route information includes a selected route to the pick-up location.

Abstract: Route guidance using less client device power and bandwidth is enabled by automatically selecting portions of a map to display with higher and lower levels of detail. An origin location and destination location are displayed at a higher level of detail, while portions between origin and destination are displayed at a lower level of detail. A user of a transportation service may request a ride, specifying her pickup location and destination locations using a map rendered at a higher level of detail. While waiting for pickup, and while in route to the destination location, the user may consult a map that is rendered at a lower level of detail. When multiple users participate as riders in a transportation service, sharing a common driver but each having different pickup and drop off locations, portions of a map may be rendered differently for each user.

Abstract: A travel coordination system determines a route for a rider using a public transit system and a provider. The travel coordination system may determine route that describes a public transit stop at which the rider exits the public transit system, and the travel coordination system can route a provider so that the provider transports the rider when the rider arrives at the public transit stop. The travel coordination system may update the rider's route after transmitting the route to the rider. The travel coordination system may determine a public transit vehicle on which the rider is traveling or predict the rider's destination. If multiple riders are traveling on the public transit vehicle and if those riders exit the public transit station using the same public transit stop, the travel coordination system may match those riders together for transport by a provider.

Abstract: Systems and methods for improving a search process by providing a visual guided search experience is provided. A networked system determines a location of a user device.

Based at least in part on the inferred interest in matching, the systems and methods match the first user and the second user for a service, and transmit (i) a first representation of the first user to a portable device of the second user, and (ii) a second representation of the second user to a portable device of the first user.

Abstract: A distributed computing system uses dynamically calculates a subset size for each of a plurality of load balancers. Each of a plurality of load balancers logs requests from client devices for connections to back-end servers and periodically sends a request report to a traffic aggregator, which aggregates the report requests from the load balancers in the corresponding zone. Each traffic aggregator sends the aggregated request data to a traffic controller, which aggregates the request data to determine a total number of requests received at the system. The total request data is transmitted through each traffic aggregator to each load balancer instance, which calculates a percentage of the total number of requests produced by the load balancer and determines a subset size based on the calculated percentage.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include systems, methods, and devices to facilitate pick-up/drop-off zone (PDZ) handoffs between autonomous vehicles. Consistent with some embodiments, a pick-up/drop-off zone (PDZ) is located based on detecting a first autonomous vehicle stopped at a stopping location. A system determines, based on one or more criteria, whether to request the first autonomous vehicle to remain stopped at the stopping location to create an opportunity for a second autonomous vehicle to claim the PDZ. An amount of time for the first autonomous vehicle to remain stopped at the stopping location is determined based on the one or more criteria. A request to remain stopped at the stopping location is transmitted to a vehicle autonomy system of the first autonomous vehicle based on satisfaction of the one or more criteria. The request specifies the amount of time for the first autonomous vehicle to remain at the stopping location.

Abstract: A computing system can detect the launch of a rider application on computing devices of users of a transport service. The computing system can receive location data indicating the current location of each user, and determine a usage pattern for each user based on historical data corresponding to historical utilization of the transport service by the user. Based on the current location and the usage pattern of the user, the computing system can determine one or more suggested destination locations for the user, and transmit, over the one or more networks, display data to cause the rider application to display a destination accelerator for each of the one or more suggested destination locations. The destination accelerator can be selectable by the user to automatically input a destination location into a transport request for the transport service.

Abstract: A network computer system receives request data from computing devices of requesting users in a sub-region of a service area. The system further receives location data from computing devices of drivers operating in the sub-region. Based on the request data and the location data, the system determines a service condition for the sub-region. Based on the service condition indicating that the sub-region is in a driver oversupply state, the system transmits a service instruction to computing devices of a plurality of drivers within the sub-region, the service instruction being associated with a target outside the sub-region and a set of progress conditions. The system then periodically determines, for each driver of the plurality of drivers, an estimated time of arrival (ETA) to the target from a current position of the driver to determine whether the driver is satisfying the set of progress conditions of the service instruction.
