A network system facilitates management of the operational states of transportation vehicles. Within a system environment, the network system also coordinates transport service between service providers operating the transportation vehicles and service requestors operating client devices. A transportation vehicle includes a processor or computing device that can determine and change operational states of the transportation vehicle. The transportation vehicle communicates operational states to one or more devices in the environment. Operational states can be communicated as vehicle datasets using a communication port of the transportation vehicle. The network system and client devices can act to enhance transport service using vehicle datasets. For example, the network system and/or client devices can manage an operational state by changing the current operational state off the transportation vehicle to a different operational state. Transport service can be enhanced at various points during the transport service coordination.

Managing the operational state of a vehicle

Various embodiments provide for annotating a geographic map. Display of a geographic map on a client device can be adjusted (e.g., pan over geographic map or adjust zoom level), and a first set of map annotations for the adjusted map is determined, where the first set of map annotations comprises at least one map annotation associated with a transport service opportunity. From the first set of map annotations, a second set of map annotations can be determined based on a map annotation visual hierarchy. For instance, at least a portion of the second set of map annotations can be determined by filtering the first set of map annotations based on a type of transport service opportunity. Subsequently, the second set of map annotations can be presented on the adjusted map on the display.

Geographic map annotation

A mobile computing device operated by a service provider or a user of a network-based service is configured to present a graphical user interface (GUI) map feature. The GUI map feature includes a map layer and a visual data layer for displaying one or more visual representations of service data associated with the network-based service. The mobile computing device is configured to determine a set of anchor coordinates for the GUI map feature and retrieve a set of service data based at least in part on the set of anchor coordinates. The set of service data can include a first set of service data associated with a map area to be illustrated by the GUI map feature and a second set of service data associated with a buffer area. The second set of service data can be retrieved based further on an image processing parameter.
