Publication number: 20230289857Abstract: The disclosed systems can regulate access to an online mode for a dynamic transportation matching system. For example, based on a provider efficiency parameter associated with the dynamic transportation matching system, the disclosed systems can prevent a transportation provider device from switching to the online mode within a geographic area. In addition, the disclosed systems can detect a pattern of behavior and, based on a comparison between the pattern of behavior and a behavioral threshold, cause a transportation provider device to switch from the online mode to an offline mode. Further, the disclosed systems can provide a map interface that indicates where a transportation provider device can switch from the offline mode to the online mode. Additionally, the disclosed systems can determine priorities associated with transportation provider devices and, based on the prioritization, selectively allow the transportation provider devices to switch from the offline mode to the online mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2023Publication date: September 14, 2023Inventors: Helen Wai-Quen Bentley, Aidan Church, John Torres Fremlin, Matthew Lawrence Green, Mayank Gulati, Yilei Li, Demitri Nava, Mengqi Niu, Daniel Allen Sullivan, Garrett van Ryzin, Rachel Marie Wasko, Shashi Kant Sharma

Publication number: 20220044570Abstract: The present application discloses systems, methods, and computer-readable media that utilize computing devices to model multi-outcome transportation-value metrics that account for spatio-temporal trajectories across locations, times and other contextual features, and then utilize computer networks to dispatch provider devices to locations based on the multi-outcome transportation-value metrics. Moreover, the disclosed systems can utilize these multi-outcome transportation-value metrics and/or other models to manage and utilize dynamic transportation dispatch modes to more efficiently align provider devices and requestor devices across computer networks. For instance, the disclosed system can dispatch a provider device based on a discounted multi-outcome transportation-value metric.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2020Publication date: February 10, 2022Inventors: Xabier Azagirre Lekuona, John Torres Fremlin, Sebastien Jean Francois Martin, Demitri Nava, Garrett John van Ryzin

Publication number: 20210404819Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include (i) receiving, by a dynamic transportation matching system, a request for transportation between initial waypoints, (ii) calculating, by the dynamic transportation matching system, a value metric for an initial driving route between the initial waypoints (iii) calculating a value metric for a walk-enabled driving route that comprises at least one alternate waypoint that is within a predetermined walking range of one of the initial waypoints, and (iv) improving, by the dynamic transportation matching system, a value of fulfilling the request for transportation by determining that a difference between the value metric of the walk-enabled driving route and the value metric of the initial driving route satisfies a walking-value threshold and selecting, based on the determination that the difference satisfies the walking-value threshold, the walk-enabled driving route for fulfilling the request for transportation.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2020Publication date: December 30, 2021Inventors: Michael Kay-Uei Chang, Janie Jia Gu, Mayank Gulati, Demitri Nava, Guy-Baptiste Richard de Capele d'Hautpoul, Maksim Rozentsveyg, Christopher John Selin, David Ikuye, Daniel Yu

Publication number: 20210404824Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include (i) receiving, from a transportation requestor device, a request for transportation that comprises a transportation stop at a location next to a street, (ii) matching, by a dynamic transportation matching system, the transportation requestor device with a transportation provider, and (iii) improving, by the dynamic transportation matching system, a value of fulfilling the request by (a) determining that a near side of the street is closer to the location of the transportation stop than a far side of the street, (b) mapping, based on the determination that the near side of the street is closer to the location of the transportation stop, a driving route that traverses the street, and (c) directing the transportation provider to fulfill the request for transportation by traversing the driving route. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2020Publication date: December 30, 2021Inventors: Michael Kay-Uei Chang, Janie Jia Gu, Mayank Gulati, Demitri Nava, Guy-Baptiste Richard de Capele d'Hautpoul, Maksim Rozentsveyg, Christopher John Selin, David Ikuye, Daniel Yu
