Abstract
The present application discloses systems, methods, and computer-readable media that utilize computer-implemented models to monitor surplus provider device slots and transmit digital invitations to provider devices to join an online mode by dynamically leveraging previous transportation provider device requests within a threshold rejection time span. For instance, the disclosed systems can identify rejected provider devices that requested to be in an online mode of a transportation matching application within a geographical area. Then the disclosed systems can monitor device activity over computer networks and determine a number of surplus provider device slots corresponding to the geographical region. Furthermore, the disclosed systems can select provider devices (that were rejected within a threshold rejection time span) from the previously rejected requests. Furthermore, the disclosed systems can transmit digital invitations to join the online mode to selected provider devices with a guaranteed online mode slot for a threshold reservation time.
