    Abstract: Embodiments provide techniques, including systems and methods, for assignment and/or reassignment of transport requests received within a request matching time period. For example, transport requests received during a request matching time period, as well as requests determined to be eligible during the request matching time period for reassignment, are associated with a location identifier (e.g., geohash) and are pooled at a dynamic transportation matching system in order for a dynamic assignment and/or reassignment that may reduce a metric (e.g., an overall estimated time of arrival (ETA) for requests) associated with the dynamic transportation matching system.

    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include using location data from multiple devices improve the accuracy of location estimates for a rideable vehicle and/or provide calibration for location information. In some examples, at the end of a ride the system may record the location of the rider's device to augment the location data from the rideable vehicle. In another example, when a batch of rideable vehicles are delivered to a location, the system may use the location of the operator's device and/or the locations of other rideable vehicles in the batch to increase the accuracy of data for the location of any given rideable vehicle. In some embodiments, the system may detect the number of functioning location sensors to determine the confidence in the location of the vehicle. This confidence information can then be used in network decisions such as matching. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for planning and creating transportation routes with multiple modalities are provided. In one embodiment, a method is provided that includes receiving a transportation request that includes a first location and a second location. A transportation proposal may then be generated including a route for transportation between the first location and the second location. The method may then include determining modalities available to provide transportation and determining respective transportation segments for the modalities, and at least a subset of the transportation segments may be combined to form the route for transportation. The transportation proposal, including the route for transportation, may then be transmitted for display on a mobile device.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting when users deviate from a provided transportation route and for correcting the transportation route in response to such user deviations is presented. In one embodiment, a method is provided including detecting a changed condition for a transportation route between a first location and a second location. The transportation route may include multiple transportation segments. A first transportation segment designating a first modality may be identified, wherein the changed condition decreases a likelihood that vehicles associated with the first modality will be available to service the first transportation segment. In response, a second transportation segment designating a second modality different from the first modality is generated. The first transportation segment is then replaced with the second transportation segment in the transportation route.

    Abstract: Embodiments provide techniques, including systems and methods, for determining an estimated target pickup location for a corresponding transport request at a particular location, such as associated with a particular geohash. A requestor may send a request that is associated with a location that does not reflect the requestor's intent regarding where they would like to be met by the provider (i.e., “picked up”). GPS inaccuracies may cause the request location to inaccurately indicate where the requestor will be; for example, the request location may be inside a building while the requestor is waiting on a curb around a far side of the building. The target pickup location allows for a requestor and a provider to meet more efficiently, reducing delay for the provider and improving the efficiency of the system by preventing provider system resources from being taken from other service areas and decreasing provider downtime upon matching.
