    Abstract: Systems and methods for improved transitioning and updating of navigations modes for multi-modal transportation routes are presented. In one embodiment, a method is provided that includes receiving a transportation route, which may include a first segment and a second segment. A first interface associated with the first segment may be displayed and may include a visual indicator of a rate of progress. A predicted travel time may be predicted, based on the rate of progress, to a starting location of the second segment. The visual indicator may be updated based on a comparison of the predicted travel time to a start time of the second segment.

    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include (i) receiving, from a transportation requestor device, a request for transportation that comprises a transportation stop at a location next to a street, (ii) matching, by a dynamic transportation matching system, the transportation requestor device with a transportation provider, and (iii) improving, by the dynamic transportation matching system, a value of fulfilling the request by (a) determining that a near side of the street is closer to the location of the transportation stop than a far side of the street, (b) mapping, based on the determination that the near side of the street is closer to the location of the transportation stop, a driving route that traverses the street, and (c) directing the transportation provider to fulfill the request for transportation by traversing the driving route. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

    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 present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for detecting a potential (or active) shared transportation request from a new requestor's device and an ongoing (or otherwise active) transportation for an existing requestor by a vehicle and then extemporaneously generating an ephemeral-transportation option for display on the new requestor's device to share the ongoing transportation by the vehicle. For example, the disclosed systems can detect a pickup location and a drop-off location associated with a new requestor and one or more active transportations that correlate with the detected locations. Based on the detected pickup and drop-off locations, the disclosed systems match the new requestor with the active transportation by the vehicle for the existing requestor. The disclosed systems then provide, for display on the new requestor's device, an ephemeral-transportation option for the new requestor to share the active transportation with the existing requestor.

    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: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include instant and optimized matching of transportation requesters with transportation providers by precomputing and caching evaluations of matching schemes between existing requests and available providers, where each of the matching schemes excludes one of the available providers. The possibility of matching any new request to a given provider may then be evaluated according to the cached results of the matching scheme that excluded that provider along with an evaluation of matching the new request to the provider, which may be a computationally easy problem. Thus, the new request may be matched to a provider instantly without waiting for the next iteration of solving the global matching problem. Matching requestors and providers in this way may also improve the accuracy of estimated time of arrival information provided to requestors. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
