Abstract

A server computer receives a routing request for providing a ride service and retrieves a start location and destination from the request. The server computer identifies a plurality of routes connecting the start location and destination among historical route information collected over a period of time. The routes are traveled by one or more vehicles and reported during the period of time. The server computer identifies a selected route, including a plurality of waypoints, among the plurality of routes based on the selected route having a higher probability to be taken. The server computer multiplies an identified time duration for each waypoint with a determined adjustment factor for each time duration to determine an augmented time duration for each waypoint, determines a sum of all the augmented time durations as the estimated time for arrival, and transmits the estimated time of arrival to the user device.
