    Abstract: The present application discloses systems, methods, and computer-readable media that utilize computer-implemented models to monitor surplus provider device slots and transmit digital invitations to provider devices to join an online mode by dynamically leveraging previous transportation provider device requests within a threshold rejection time span. For instance, the disclosed systems can identify rejected provider devices that requested to be in an online mode of a transportation matching application within a geographical area. Then the disclosed systems can monitor device activity over computer networks and determine a number of surplus provider device slots corresponding to the geographical region. Furthermore, the disclosed systems can select provider devices (that were rejected within a threshold rejection time span) from the previously rejected requests. Furthermore, the disclosed systems can transmit digital invitations to join the online mode to selected provider devices with a guaranteed online mode slot for a threshold reservation time.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes a request distribution system that can intelligently distribute transportation requests to provider devices to improve transportation system network coverage and efficiency. For example, the disclosed systems can identify a transportation request corresponding to a first transportation mode and analyze multiple limited-eligibility provider devices having various modes as potential recipients for the transportation request. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems can further determine an expected change in network coverage time associated with providing the transportation request to a first provider device corresponding to the first transportation mode versus a second provider device corresponding to a second transportation mode. The disclosed systems can provide the transportation request to the second provider device corresponding to the second transportation mode according to the expected change in network coverage time and/or other transportation request metrics.
