TRIP PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION

Abstract:

A network computer system can receive location information indicating a current location of a user, upon detecting a user having arrived at an airport. based at least on the current location of the user, the network computer system can determine a time-to-reach pickup interval. Additionally, the network computer system can receive location information indicating a current location of each of a set of service providers. Based on at least on the current location of at least one service provider of the set of service providers, the network computer system can determine a request time interval. Moreover, based on the request time interval and the time-to-reach pickup interval, the network computer system can determine a computed request time indicating a time to trigger a service request.
