    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.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for dynamically controlling requestor device queues by monitoring and utilizing the throughput rate of matched provider devices and requestor devices. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems determine throughput rate of matched provider devices and requestor devices in real-time and/or predicts throughput rate utilizing historical features of a particular location. The disclosed systems can generate and provide queue request notifications to requestor devices based on a throughput rate at the location. Specifically, the disclosed systems can monitor a current queue status over time, compare the queue status to a queue threshold, and dynamically generate queue request notifications that reflects throughput-based queue modifiers as the current queue status approaches the queue threshold.
