    摘要: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include matching transportation requests to transportation providers using a dynamic transportation matching system. Matching transportation requestors which have varying preferences for waiting times and transportation pricing with transportation providers having varying levels of available supply may involve matching methods that satisfy the transportation requestors while maintaining an appropriate level of supply. A method which provides immediate service for transportation requestors that may be willing to pay a premium fare while placing transportation requestors not willing to pay a premium fare and may be willing to wait may provide a balance of supply and demand of transportation providers. Accordingly, immediately matching transportation requestors not willing to wait while placing the transportation requestors willing to wait in a queue may provide the balanced approach to managing transportation provider availability. Other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are disclosed.

    摘要: 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.
