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.

Dynamically transmitting online mode invitations to provider devices in response to detected changes in provider device efficiency

The disclosed systems can regulate access to an online mode for a dynamic transportation matching system. For example, based on a provider efficiency parameter associated with the dynamic transportation matching system, the disclosed systems can prevent a transportation provider device from switching to the online mode within a geographic area. In addition, the disclosed systems can detect a pattern of behavior and, based on a comparison between the pattern of behavior and a behavioral threshold, cause a transportation provider device to switch from the online mode to an offline mode. Further, the disclosed systems can provide a map interface that indicates where a transportation provider device can switch from the offline mode to the online mode. Additionally, the disclosed systems can determine priorities associated with transportation provider devices and, based on the prioritization, selectively allow the transportation provider devices to switch from the offline mode to the online mode.
