Abstract: A network computer system operates to receive service requests from requesters. Based at least in part on a proximity between the current locations of a first and a second requester, the system can match the first service request and the second service request by (i) selecting pickup locations for the first and second requesters, (ii) transmitting rendezvous information to the computing devices of the first and second requesters, (iii) determining an estimated time interval for each of the first requester and the second requester to arrive at their pickup locations, and (iv) selecting a transport provider to service both the first transport request and the second transport request.

Abstract: A computing system can integrate fleet vehicles of a fleet operator into a rideshare network to increase utilization of the fleet vehicles, optimize fleet size for fleet operators, and supplement the fleet vehicles with the rideshare network during peak periods to service the rider base of the fleet operator.

Abstract: A network computer system operates to receive service requests from multiple requesters. Based at least in part on a proximity between the current locations of a first and a second requester, the system can match the first service request and the second service request by (i) selecting a pickup location for the first and second requesters, (ii) transmitting rendezvous information to the computing devices of the first and second requesters, (iii) determining an estimated time interval for each of the first requester and the second requester to arrive at the pickup location, and (iv) selecting a transport provider to service both the first transport request and the second transport request, based at least in part on the pickup location, a current location of the transport provider, and the estimated time interval for each of the first requester and the second requester.

Abstract: A computing system can detect high capacity vehicles (HCVs) coming online to provide transport services. The computing system monitors transport demand for HCV corridors throughout a geographic region. Each HCV corridor comprises a plurality of possible rendezvous locations and a plurality of possible routes that can be traveled by individual HCVs through the HCV corridor, as opposed to having fixed routes with fixed stops. The computing system can determine a schedule for each HCV corridor, and monitor supply flow of HCVs traveling through each HCV corridor. Based on (i) the transport demand, (ii) the schedule, and (iii) the supply flow of the HCVs for each of the HCV corridors, the computing system can match the HCV with a specified HCV corridor, and transmit match data indicating a start zone of the matching HCV corridor to the computing device of the HCV.

Abstract: A computing system can assign a transport request to a high capacity vehicle (HCV) corridor of a plurality of HCV corridors, where the HCV corridor is associated with a plurality of possible rendezvous locations and a plurality of possible routes that can be traveled by individual HCVs. The computing system can determine, from the transport request of the requesting user, an optimal pick-up location from the plurality of possible rendezvous locations of the HCV corridor for an HCV to rendezvous with the requesting user.

Abstract: A network computer system operates to receive a plurality of service requests over a given time interval, where individual service requests specify a respective target destination and a current location of a respective requester device. For each service request, the network computer system arranges a pooled transport service for the corresponding requester by selecting a service start location, and instructions for enabling the requester to travel to the service start location. The network computer system may select the service provider based on a variety of considerations, including the service start location, the current location of the corresponding service provider, and the determined time interval.

Abstract: A system is provided to access at least a first data source of a user, to identify an indicator of an upcoming event. The system determines a category for the event, as well as a set of service-related parameters for the event. The system may generate a workflow that is specific to at least one of the category or the set of service-related parameters, to determine a set of configuration parameters. In some examples, a request interface is provided, having a feature from which the user can generate a service request for the event. An aspect of the feature may be based at least in part on the set of configuration parameters. Additionally, in some examples, a set of service-related parameters may be associated with the feature, so that when the service request is generated, the generated service request dynamically incorporates information corresponding to the set of service-related parameters.
