Abstract
A network computer system can implement a hierarchical selection process to fulfill the scheduled transport request. The hierarchical selection process can include a first selection process and a second selection process. The first selection process can include assigning a transport provider to fulfill the scheduled transport request. Additionally, the first selection process can include disassociating the transport provider with the scheduled transport request upon determining that the transport provider is unable to fulfill the scheduled transport request at the scheduled time. The second selection process can be implemented at a specified time prior to the scheduled time and can include selecting a backup transport provider.
