Systems and methods for managing routing involving an indicated point of interest associated with a plurality of levels of a multilevel (overlapping or stacked) roadway are provided. In example embodiments, a networked system aggregates trip data received from user devices that includes location information and detected attributes for points of interest. The networked system analyzes the location information and the detected attributes to determine a height parameter and, in some cases, a characteristic associated with different levels of the multilevel roadway for points of interest. The height parameters and characteristics for each point of interest are stored to a database in a data storage. During runtime, the networked system receives a request that includes a point of interest. In response, the networked system detects a level of roadway at the point of interest using the database and real-time device data. Based on the detected level of the multilevel roadway, a route is generated and presented.

Route optimization system based on height parameter for a level at a point of interest

Systems and methods herein describe a network system for federated searching. The systems and methods receive a search query, transmit the search query to search providers, receive search results corresponding to the search query, extract metadata from each search result, generate matched groupings comprising a first search results that have matching metadata, generate a ranked list of the matched groupings and a plurality of relevance scores, identify a second subset of search results based on the ranked list of matched groupings, and cause display of the second subset of search results on a graphical user interface of a computing device.

Federated search system

Systems and methods are provided for generating sets of candidates comprising images and places within a threshold geographic proximity based on geographic information associated with each of the plurality of images and geographic information associated with each place. For each set of candidates, the systems and methods generate a similarity score based on a similarity between text extracted from each image and a place name, and the geographic information associated with each image and each place. For each place with an associated image as a potential match, the systems and methods generate a name similarity score based on matching the extracted text of the image to the place name, and store an image as place data associated with a place based on determining that the name similarity score for the extracted text associated with the image is higher than a second predetermined threshold.

Imagery evidence matching system

Systems and methods are provided for receiving location data for a first location and a second location and generating a plurality of candidate routes to travel from the first location to the second location, based on the location data, each candidate route comprising a plurality of segments. The systems and methods further generate a safety score for each segment of each candidate route of the plurality of candidate routes, generate a safety score for each candidate route based on safety scores generated for each segment associated with each candidate route, select a best candidate route using the safety score associated with each of the candidate routes, and provide a recommendation for a travel route comprising the best candidate route.

Route optimization system based on height parameter

Systems and methods are provided for receiving geographic coordinates for a location, determining a road segment associated with the location based on the geographic coordinates for the location, and determining a plurality of places associated with the road segment associated with the location. The systems and methods further provide for extracting visual data for each of the plurality of places, generating a plurality of feature values based on the visual data for each of the plurality of places, and analyzing the plurality of feature values to generate a visibility score for each of the plurality of places.

Place visibility scoring system

Systems and methods are provided for determining location data corresponding to a location of a user, retrieving candidate locations for pickup or drop-off locations based on the location data corresponding to the location of the user, and determining a safety score for each of the candidate locations. The systems and methods further select a best candidate location using the safety score associated with each of the candidate locations and provide a recommendation for a pickup or drop-off location comprising the best candidate location.

Location safety determination system

Systems and methods are provided for generating a places dataset comprising place data from multiple data sources each having a plurality of place data. Based on the places dataset, the systems and methods generate local clusters comprising places located within a predetermined distance, generate probable pairs of places in each local cluster, and distribute the probable pairs to one or more processors to determine similar edges between one or more places in each local cluster based on a plurality of combined similarity measures indicating whether or not a place is similar to another place. The systems and methods further generate similar pairs based on the combined similarity measures and convert the similar pairs into connected components comprising groups of similar places based on a best similar edge from all the candidates for a group of similar places.

Multiple source place matching system

Systems and methods are provided for receiving location data for a first location and a second location and generating a plurality of candidate routes to travel from the first location to the second location, based on the location data, each candidate route comprising a plurality of segments. The systems and methods further generate a safety score for each segment of each candidate route of the plurality of candidate routes, generate a safety score for each candidate route based on safety scores generated for each segment associated with each candidate route, select a best candidate route using the safety score associated with each of the candidate routes, and provide a recommendation for a travel route comprising the best candidate route

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for providing a model of a vehicle to a rider. In an embodiment, the systems and methods determine that a driver has accepted a task to operate a vehicle from a first location to a rider location. The systems and methods then access a model corresponding to the vehicle, determine a direction of movement of the vehicle, and determine a relative orientation of the vehicle with respect to the rider based on the first location, the direction of movement of the vehicle, and the rider location. The systems and methods generate for display, on a client device of the rider, the model at an angle determined based on the relative orientation.

Providing a model of a vehicle to a rider at an accurate orientation

Systems and methods are provided for receiving geographic coordinates for a location, generating a plurality of candidate places located within a predetermined distance from the location based on the geographic coordinates of the location, and extracting a plurality of features from each candidate place of the plurality of candidate places. The systems and methods are further provided for generating a place score for each candidate place of the plurality of candidate places using the plurality of features for each candidate place of the plurality of candidate places, determining the best candidate place based on the place score for each candidate place of the plurality of candidate places, and providing a place name associated with the best candidate place.

Reverse geocoding system

Systems and methods are disclosed to enable delivering a contextually relevant action for an underlying focal point of a communication (an 'entity') between users over computing devices. Delivery of a contextually relevant action entails identifying the entity and associated descriptors or amplifying words in the communication surrounding the entity, reviewing databases of actions taken with respect to the identified entity and associated descriptors, reviewing the functions and features of platforms and applications supported on users' computing devices, computing correlations between the actions taken and entity involved and computing devices' available functions and features, and selecting a contextually relevant action from the computed correlation. The selected contextually relevant action is displayed simply as an executable action for a user to take or as a description of the entity or as a series of possible executable actions to take.
