Methods and systems for correcting errors in transportation routes are provided. In one embodiment, a method is provided that includes receiving a transportation request that includes at least two locations. A first route prediction may be generated based on a first set of previously-completed routes associated with the at least two locations. A first predictive model may compare the first route prediction with route information associated with a second set of previously-completed routes identified based on the first route prediction. A second route prediction may be generated based on the comparison and may be sent to a mobile device for presentation to a user.

Transportation route error detection and adjustment

The present application discloses systems, methods, and computer-readable media that can dynamically control a number of provider devices operating in a prioritized-dispatch mode by determining a range of prioritized-dispatch-mode slots for a target time based on differences between value metrics received by provider devices operating in multiple dispatch modes and sending availability nudges to provider devices based on the range of prioritized-dispatch-mode slots. For instance, the disclosed systems can generate a threshold-noticeable-value difference between historical value metrics received by provider devices while operating in a prioritized-dispatch mode and in a basic-dispatch mode. Based on the threshold-noticeable-value difference, the disclosed systems determine a range of slots for the prioritized-dispatch mode during a target time period for a geographic area. Based on the determined range of slots, the disclosed systems can transmit prioritized-mode-availability indicators to provider devices to indicate varying levels of availability of the prioritized-dispatch mode for the geographic area.

Dynamically adjusting a pool of transportation provider devices in a prioritized-dispatch mode using availability indicators

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.
