    Abstract: This disclosure describes an arrival determination system that determines a hiking distance for a transportation request and further enables a provider device to indicate arrival for pickup based on monitoring a location of the provider device. For example, the disclosed systems utilize a hiking distance predictor model to analyze request features associated with a transportation request to determine a hiking distance based on the request features. In addition, the disclosed systems monitor a location of a provider device of a provider matched to service the transportation request to determine when the provider device is within the hiking distance of a requested pickup location. Based on determining that the provider device is within the hiking distance, the disclosed systems enable the provider device to notify a requester device that the provider has arrived for pickup.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for intelligently determining to assess (or not assess) a cancellation penalty and notifying a requestor device of such a penalty in response to either a requestor's selection to cancel a single transportation request for a requestor or a requestor's selection to cancel a shared-transportation request associated with multiple requestors. For example, the disclosed systems can generate conversion probabilities for a requestor reflecting if a cancellation penalty is assessed—and if the cancellation penalty is not assessed—for a cancellation of a transportation request for transport of a lone requestor. Based on the conversion probabilities, the disclosed systems customize a cancellation notice for a requestor device to either include or exclude the cancellation penalty. Additionally, or alternatively, in certain implementations, the disclosed systems generate a transportation efficiency metric for modifying a projected transportation route for a shared transportation to account for a cancellation of a shared-transportation request. Based on the transportation efficiency metric, the disclosed systems customize a cancellation notice for a requestor device to either include or exclude the cancellation penalty.
