A system receives a service request sent from a computing device of a user, which identifies a service to be provided. The system then identifies potential locations based on the service request and historical data. These locations are assessed based on predetermined criteria, including an amount of successful and unsuccessful service requests at each location according to the historical data. After a location is chosen, the user's acceptance is obtained. Upon receiving this acceptance, the system generates and sends navigation instructions from the provider's current position to the selected location to a second computing device associated with the provider.

Location determination based on historical service data

Systems and methods of generating active notifications for users of a networked computer system using transportation service prediction are disclosed herein. In some example embodiments, a computer system uses a prediction model to generate a transportation service prediction for a user based on an identification of the user, location data for the user, prediction time data, and historical user data for instances of the user using the transportation, and then causes a notification to be displayed on a computing device of the user based on the transportation service prediction, with the notification indicating a recommended use of the transportation service in association with the place for the time of day and the day of the week, and the notification comprising a selectable user interface element configured to enable the user to submit an electronic request for the recommended use of the transportation service.

Active notification using transportation service prediction

A network system receives a service request sent from a computing device of a user. The service request identifies a service to be provided by a provider and a service request location. In response to receiving the service request, the network system identifies a plurality of candidate locations. The network system selects the location from a plurality of candidate locations according to predetermined criteria including a frequency measurement of each candidate location. The network system replaces the service request location with the selected location. The network system sends the selected location to the computing device. Responsive to receiving an acceptance of the selected location from the computing device, the network system generates navigation instructions for the provider from a current location of the provider to the selected location.
