The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods that improve efficiency and flexibility of implementing computer devices by providing efficient user interfaces to provider devices that include optimal digital routes selected based on dynamic route efficiency metrics. In particular, the disclosed systems can identify and surface an optimal alternative route from a pickup location to a drop-off location associated with a transportation match based on a variety of dynamic non-temporal factors. The disclosed systems can utilize a variety of computer implemented models to determine non-temporal factors, such as distance efficiency metrics, route-segment access efficiency metrics, congestion efficiency metrics, risk efficiency metrics, and match-based efficiency metrics. The disclosed systems can then combine these non-temporal factors utilizing a common efficiency framework to determine and surface an optimal alternative route.

Providing improved, real-time transportation route interfaces utilizing route efficiency metrics based on non-temporal factors

The disclosed computer-implemented method may include (i) receiving, from a transportation requestor device, a request for transportation that comprises a transportation stop at a location next to a street, (ii) matching, by a dynamic transportation matching system, the transportation requestor device with a transportation provider, and (iii) improving, by the dynamic transportation matching system, a value of fulfilling the request by (a) determining that a near side of the street is closer to the location of the transportation stop than a far side of the street, (b) mapping, based on the determination that the near side of the street is closer to the location of the transportation stop, a driving route that traverses the street, and (c) directing the transportation provider to fulfill the request for transportation by traversing the driving route. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Systems and methods for utilizing side-of-street information while fulfilling transportation requests

The disclosed computer-implemented method may include receiving an indication that a transportation application has been initialized on a computing device and analyzing current dispatch conditions affecting the dispatch of transportation provider devices to the computing device. The method may also include determining, based on the analysis, that the current dispatch conditions allow for an ephemeral ride mode to be offered on the transportation application. The method may further include instructing, based on the determination, the computing device to at least temporarily present the ephemeral ride mode within the transportation application as a selectable option. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Systems and methods for enhanced transportation dispatch

The disclosed computer-implemented method may include (i) receiving, by a dynamic transportation matching system, a request for transportation between initial waypoints, (ii) calculating, by the dynamic transportation matching system, a value metric for an initial driving route between the initial waypoints (iii) calculating a value metric for a walk-enabled driving route that comprises at least one alternate waypoint that is within a predetermined walking range of one of the initial waypoints, and (iv) improving, by the dynamic transportation matching system, a value of fulfilling the request for transportation by determining that a difference between the value metric of the walk-enabled driving route and the value metric of the initial driving route satisfies a walking-value threshold and selecting, based on the determination that the difference satisfies the walking-value threshold, the walk-enabled driving route for fulfilling the request for transportation. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
