UTILIZING A DIRECTIONAL FILTER FOR A GEOTEMPORAL DESTINATION MODE OF A DYNAMIC TRANSPORTATION MATCHING SYSTEM

Abstract:

This disclosure describes a geotemporal destination system that filters and identifies transportation requests based on a directional filter and/or an arrival time filter. In particular, the disclosed systems can determine a threshold deviation angle for a directional filter based on a provider device location, a target destination, and a time of day. In addition, the disclosed systems can utilize an arrival time filter to identify transportation requests. For example, the disclosed systems can surface transportation requests to provide to a provider device based on applying a directional filter and/or an arrival time filter.
