Abstract
A method includes receiving a corresponding location and corresponding device activity information of user devices and selecting a subset of the user devices that are within a threshold distance of each other. The method further includes, responsive to determining that a cumulative likelihood value of at least one of the subset of the user devices transmitting a transportation request is higher than a threshold likelihood value, determining a first location based on the corresponding location and the corresponding device activity information of each of the subset of the user devices. The method further includes transmitting navigation instructions to a driver device to cause the driver device to navigate towards the first location.
