Systems and Methods for Accounting for Uncertainty in Ride-Sharing Transportation Services

Abstract:

A computing system is provided. The computing system is configured to obtain an initial candidate multi-modal transportation itinerary for a user. The computing system is configured to determine an uncertainty associated with a first leg of the initial candidate multi-modal transportation itinerary. The computing system is configured to determine one or more modifications to the initial candidate multi-modal transportation itinerary based, at least in part, on the uncertainty associated with the first leg. The computing system is configured to generate an updated candidate multi-modal transportation itinerary for the user based, at least in part, on the one or more modifications to the initial candidate multi-modal transportation itinerary. The computing system is configured to communicate data associated with the updated candidate multi-modal transportation itinerary to a user device.
