Abstract
A system for generating a carpooling prediction includes a computer that performs the operations of receiving a query for a ride match location from a user computing device. The query includes a given destination location and target arrival time for reaching the destination. The computer is operative to transmit coordinates to the user computing device of a location where a user can find other users willing to rideshare. For a number of passengers that are looking for a ride to a given destination during a given time, the computer is operative to predict a number of drivers that will pass or end at the given destination during a given time interval that includes the target time. For a number of drivers that are looking to offer a ride to a given destination during a given time, the computer is further operative to predict a number of passengers that will pass or wait at a given node, for example, along the drivers' route or alternate route, for reaching the destination. Based on the prediction, the computer is further operative to transmit coordinates to the user computing device corresponding to a location where the at least one driver or passenger is predicted to pass or be located. The computer is further operative to process a transaction between two users in response to receiving a communication from a remote user device authenticating the transaction between the two users.
