Abstract: A computing system can receive a pick-up request including a carpool service preference from a requesting user. The system can access user data of the requesting user and a plurality of potential carpool riders, and determine one or more common links between the requesting user and each of one or more carpool riders of the plurality of potential carpool riders. The system may then select the one or more carpool riders to ride with the requesting user in the carpool vehicle, and transmit a notification to the requesting user to indicate the one or more common links between the requesting user and each of the one or more carpool riders.

Abstract: A computing system can receive local device data transmitted from a computing device associated with a first vehicle while the first vehicle is providing transport for a rider. Based on the local device data, the computing system can detect that a vehicle collision event has occurred. Based on detecting the vehicle collision event, the computing system can obtain trip information identifying a destination location for the rider, and transmit a transport invitation to a computing device of a driver of a second vehicle to provide transport for the rider from a location of the vehicle collision event to the destination location.

Abstract: A network computing system receives local device data from a mobile computing device of a person within a vehicle. The local device data may include sensor data from one or more sensors of the mobile computing device, and location data determined from a position-determination resource of the mobile computing device. The network computing system may detect a vehicle collision event based on the local device data. Additionally, the network computing system may determine a classification of the vehicle collision event based on the local device data.

Abstract: A transport arrangement and networking system can receive pick-up requests from user devices of requesting users. The pick-up requests can include a carpool service preference. The system can transmit an invitation to a driver device of a proximate carpool driver to service each received pick-up request and identify carpool riders riding with each requesting user. The system can further access social media data for the requesting user and the carpool riders. When the accessed social media data indicates a common link between the requesting user and the carpool rider(s) the system can generate and transmit a notification to the requesting user indicating the common link.

Abstract: A computing device can execute a messaging application corresponding to a messaging service and display a user interface comprising a messaging thread between a user of the mobile computing device and at least a second user, the messaging thread including textual content corresponding to a location. The computing device can then receive a user selection of the textual content, and generate a selectable transport request feature on the display to overlay at least a portion of the messaging thread. In various implementations, the selectable transport request feature can enable the user to request transport from a transportation arrangement service.
