Abstract: A system and method for arranging a transport service is described. A system can receive a request for transport service from a user device. The request can include a requested pickup location data point. The system determines a predetermined location data point associated with the requested pickup location data point. The first predetermined location data point can be different from the requested pickup location data point. The system selects a driver to perform a transport service for the user based, at least in part, on the requested pickup location data point, and transmits the predetermined location data point to a driver device of the selected driver.

Abstract: A tracking server receives GPS data from a location tracking device located in a vehicle. The GPS data describes a path that is representative of a pathway of the vehicle used to complete a trip from a starting location to a destination location. The tracking server identifies noisy GPS data included in the received GPS data and revises a portion of path corresponding to the noisy GPS data. The tracking server may update a map database to include one or more road segments associated with the revised portion of the path. Furthermore, the tracking server may calculate a fare for the trip based on the revised path.

Abstract: A computing system operates to process multiple transport requests at one time, each of the multiple transport request specifying a pickup location that is within a geographic region. During a given interval when each of the multiple transport request are open, a pool of candidate drivers is determined within the geographic region that can fulfill one or more of the transport requests within a threshold duration of time. A driver is selected for each of the multiple transport requests.

Abstract: A system and method for arranging a transport service is described. A server can receive a request for transport from a computing device of a first user. The request can include information about a pickup location of the first user. In response to receiving the request, the server can determine a plurality of drivers that are capable of providing transport for the first user by determining a first set of drivers that are each driving a vehicle that is unoccupied by other users, and determining a second set of drivers that are each providing transport service to one or more other users to a respective destination location that is within a threshold distance or threshold estimated travel time from the pickup location of the first user. The server can select a first driver from the plurality of drivers to provide the transport service for the first user.
