Abstract

A computing system can maximize throughput for a common rendezvous location by determining estimated times of arrival (ETAs) to the common rendezvous location for matched users and/or transport providers. Based on the ETAs of each of the transport providers, the computing system can generate a dynamic queue comprising the transport providers for the common rendezvous location and manage the dynamic queue by routing the transport providers through the common rendezvous location. The computing system can further dynamically adjust the queue based on changes to the ETAs by transmitting updated navigation-related data to one or more of the matched transport providers.
