  • DYNAMIC SCHEDULING OF DRIVER BREAKS IN A RIDE-SHARING SERVICE
    Publication number: 20230042632
    Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically scheduling breaks for drivers in a ride-sharing service are disclosed. Driver breaks may be scheduled dynamically in the context of a ride-sharing service in which rides may be requested ad hoc and drivers are rerouted accordingly. An allocation system may optimize a drive itinerary to service passengers requesting rides and breaks for drivers. A break request comprising break parameters may be received. The allocation system may attempt an insertion of the break request into the drive itinerary. The drive itinerary may then be validated to determine if all rides can be serviced with the break request entered into the itinerary. If the drive itinerary is not validated, the drive itinerary is modified until the break request is successfully inserted into the drive itinerary. The drive itinerary and driver breaks may be continuously modified and optimized in response to real time events and conditions.
