  • Publication number: 20160203576
    Abstract: A system and method for arranging a transport service is described. The system receives location information from a client device operated by a user, and based on the received location information, determines a set of information about each of at least two or more vehicle types. The system can transmit the set of information to the client device and determine a ranking of at least a first vehicle type and a second vehicle type based on one or more parameters. The system can determine that the user has indicated interest in making a transport request for the first vehicle type. In response to determining that the user has indicated interest in making a transport request for a vehicle type that is not the highest ranked vehicle type, the system can transmit a notification to the client device suggesting that the user make a transport request for another vehicle type.

  • Publication number: 20160034845
    Abstract: A system can arrange a transport service for a rider. The system can receive, from a first computing device of a first rider, a request for a transport service. The request can include a first pickup location and a first destination location. Based on the first pickup location and the first destination location, the system can determine a plurality of candidate drivers that are each currently assigned to provide a transport service for a respective rider. The system can perform a selection process to select a driver from the plurality of candidate drivers by, for each candidate driver, determining a set of possible travel sequences in which that candidate driver can provide both the transport service for the respective rider and the transport service for the first rider and computing a score for each possible travel sequence.

  • Publication number: 20150262430
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for generating and transmitting push notifications in connection with a transport service. Push notification triggers can be configured by a user via an application-based user interface corresponding to an application specific to the transport service. A user profile associated with the user can be accessed to detect one or more preconfigured push notification triggers, and thereafter transport service activity can be dynamically monitored for trigger events. Such trigger events can cause the system to generate and transmit push notifications to the user's mobile device.
