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

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 one or more provider devices (e.g., limited-eligibility provider devices or full-eligibility provider devices) as potential recipients for a 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 one provider device versus another. The disclosed systems can provide the transportation request to a provider device according to the expected change in network coverage time and/or other transportation request metrics.

Intelligently transmitting digital transportation requests to provider devices to increase network coverage time and improve transportation system efficiency

The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for detecting a potential (or active) shared transportation request from a new requestor's device and an ongoing (or otherwise active) transportation for an existing requestor by a vehicle and then extemporaneously generating an ephemeral-transportation option for display on the new requestor's device to share the ongoing transportation by the vehicle. For example, the disclosed systems can detect a pickup location and a drop-off location associated with a new requestor and one or more active transportations that correlate with the detected locations. Based on the detected pickup and drop-off locations, the disclosed systems match the new requestor with the active transportation by the vehicle for the existing requestor. The disclosed systems then provide, for display on the new requestor's device, an ephemeral-transportation option for the new requestor to share the active transportation with the existing requestor.

Providing ephemeral-transportation options in real time for sharing active transportations

The present technology provides native access control handling based on curated data received through third-party authentication protocols. Authentication of a user account is based on a set of curated data received from a third-party application with respect to a third-party application user account shared by a same user. The user account is a member of a server that supports near real-time communications through a client application associated with the user account. The set of curated data is received in response to receiving authentication based on a third-party authentication protocol associated with the third-party application. The curated set of data can be displayed in a profile of the user account as well as for providing an access privilege to the user account in the server.

Third-party authentication protocols for native access control

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 (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.
