Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include providing and making use of uncertain ETA information. Inaccurate ETA information may result in ride cancellations, poor experience on the part of transportation requestors and providers, and reduced transportation network efficiency. Errors in ETA estimates may be introduced in various ways, including inaccurate starting location data for providers, variable delays in provider navigation readiness, providers failing to react in time to take expected routes to newly assigned destinations, and driving conditions en route. By estimating both the likelihood various scenarios that impact ETA and the impact of these scenarios on arrival time, the method may provide information about the uncertainty of ETA information. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
