UTILIZING CONTEMPORANEOUS TRANSPORTATION DATA FROM A TRANSPORTATION MATCHING SYSTEM TO SURFACE TRENDING DESTINATIONS IN USER INTERFACES

Abstract:

This disclosure covers computer-implemented methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems that efficiently determine and present real-time (or near-real time) trending destination locations in a graphical user interface of a requester device based on transportation requests or other transportation data tracked for a geographic region. For example, the disclosed systems identify destination locations from within a geographic region of a particular requester by analyzing transportation requests received within a threshold time period of a requester's current reference time. The disclosed systems dynamically determine a set of trending destination locations from the destination locations based on such transportation requests to the destination locations within the threshold time period. Having determined a set of trending destination locations, the disclosed systems provide a selectable option for real-time (or near-real-time) trending destination locations relevant to the requester for display within a graphical user interface of the requester's device.
