Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for intelligently pre-dispatching candidate provider devices to a geographic area by utilizing a pre-dispatch model accounting for forecasted transportation requests. For example, the disclosed systems can determine how many candidate provider devices to pre-dispatch to a geographic area based on a variety of inputs, including a projected requestor device queue, a projected provider device queue, and/or a queue capacity. In particular, the disclosed systems can utilize a look-ahead model and a look-behind model to compare a queue capacity with projected provider device queues corresponding to estimated times of arrival for one or more candidate provider devices. If the projected provider device queues comport with the queue capacity according to both the look-ahead model and the look-behind model, the disclosed systems can proceed with pre-dispatching the candidate provider device to the geographic area.
