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: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include dynamically selecting transportation options to present to a transportation requestor device based on current transportation network conditions and transportation requestor device history. In some embodiments, transportation network may have many different ways of arranging a transportation requestor's trip, such as private rides, shared rides, immediate rides, and delayed rides. In some examples, the requestor's choice of transportation option may have an impact on the transportation network. In anticipation of or in response to a transportation request, the method may determine which transportation options will better benefit the transportation network and determine which transportation options to display to the requestor and/or the prominence with which the transportation products are displayed. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for dynamically matching requestor devices to generate efficient transportation groups that satisfy user-selected arrival deadlines. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems generate timeslots corresponding to a transportation request including pick-up times, arrival deadlines, and transportation values. In response to receiving user selections of timeslots, the disclosed systems can partition requestor devices into sets of requestor devices. Additionally, the disclosed systems can utilize the sets of requestor devices to match compatible requestor devices to both maximize system efficiency and satisfy selected arrival deadlines for each requestor device.

Abstract: Methods and systems for generating multi-modal transportation proposals are presented. In one embodiment, a system is provided that includes a processor and a memory storing instructions. The processor may execute the instructions to receive a request for transportation from an origin location to a destination location and to generate a proposal identifying a route between the origin location and destination location. Generating the proposal may include determining a primary modality for a primary segment with a primary starting location and a primary ending location. A starting portion may be identified from the origin location to the primary starting location and an ending portion may be identified from the primary ending location to the destination location. A secondary modality may be identified for transportation along the starting portion and/or the ending portion. The primary and secondary modality may be assigned to the proposal, which may be transmitted to a mobile device.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may calculate individual utility metrics for each combination of potential transportation requestors and cancellations to arrive at a more accurate total expected utility for shared transportation. In one embodiment, the method may reduce computation resource requirements by calculating each cancellation probability independently. In some examples, the method may only calculate utility metrics for some fixed number and/or percentage of the most probable combinations. In some embodiments, the method may account for travel time and/or distance when calculating utility metrics. By making matching decisions for shared transportation that account for the possibility of cancellation, the method may improve the efficiency of the transportation network. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods and systems for analyzing, ranking, and presenting multi-modality transportation proposals are presented. In one embodiment, a method is provided that includes receiving a request for transportation and generating proposals that include routes for transportation an origin location and a destination location of the request. The proposals each include segment(s) corresponding to a portion of a route and at least one modality identifying a type of transportation for the segment(s). Proposal scores may then be calculated for each of the proposals. Proposal scores for a proposal may be calculated based on a disutility measure of the proposal that measures a predicted inconvenience for a user following the route identified by the proposal. The proposals may be ranked based on the proposal scores and the ranking may be transmitted to a mobile device for display on the mobile device.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include matching transportation requests (e.g., made to a dynamic transportation matching system) to one or more transportation providers via transfer points. Matching one or more transportation requestors to a single transportation provider may lead to inefficiencies. By matching transportation requestors with one or more transportation providers via transfer points, a dynamic transportation matching system may increase the efficiency of trips for both transportation providers and transportation requestors. The method may also allocate transportation resources more efficiently across different regions, areas, and/or types of transit areas. In addition, the method may efficiently distribute transportation requestors across different transit options throughout a region to minimize congestion, to minimize over-usage of some constrained transit options, and/or to minimize travel time of transportation providers and/or transportation requestors throughout the region. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present application discloses systems, methods, and computer-readable media that utilize computer-implemented models to monitor surplus provider device slots and transmit digital invitations to provider devices to join an online mode by dynamically leveraging previous transportation provider device requests within a threshold rejection time span. For instance, the disclosed systems can identify rejected provider devices that requested to be in an online mode of a transportation matching application within a geographical area. Then the disclosed systems can monitor device activity over computer networks and determine a number of surplus provider device slots corresponding to the geographical region. Furthermore, the disclosed systems can select provider devices (that were rejected within a threshold rejection time span) from the previously rejected requests. Furthermore, the disclosed systems can transmit digital invitations to join the online mode to selected provider devices with a guaranteed online mode slot for a threshold reservation time.
