DYNAMIC GEOLOCATION OPTIMIZATION OF PICKUP LOCATIONS USING LOCATION SCORES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240337497 titled 'DYNAMIC GEOLOCATION OPTIMIZATION OF PICKUP LOCATIONS USING LOCATION SCORES
The patent application describes techniques for determining alternate request locations based on a pickup location score of a location associated with transportation request information.
- Pickup location score is an objective quantitative measurement of the fitness of a location for a pickup by a provider.
- Embodiments may modify the request location based on the location score of one or more alternate request locations within a threshold distance.
- The modified transport request information is then sent to a provider computing device associated with a matched provider for the transport request information.
Potential Applications: - Ride-sharing services - Delivery services - Logistics and transportation companies
Problems Solved: - Efficient matching of providers with transportation requests - Optimization of pickup locations for better service delivery
Benefits: - Improved provider efficiency - Enhanced user experience - Reduced wait times for transportation services
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Transportation Request Matching Technology" This technology can be used by ride-sharing companies, delivery services, and logistics companies to optimize pickup locations and improve overall service efficiency.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the pickup location score impact the selection of alternate request locations?
The pickup location score determines the fitness of a location for a pickup, influencing the selection of alternate request locations within a threshold distance.
2. What are the key benefits of using this technology for transportation services?
The technology improves provider efficiency, enhances user experience, and reduces wait times for transportation services.
Original Abstract Submitted
embodiments provide techniques, including systems and methods, for determining alternate request locations based on a pickup location score (plos) of a location associated with transportation request information. a pickup location score may include an objective quantitative measurement of the fitness of a location for a pickup by a provider. for example, embodiments may receive transport request information associated with a requestor computing device including a request location, determine a modified request location based at least on a location score for each of one or more alternate request locations that are within a threshold distance of the request location, and send modified transport request information associated with the modified request location and the first requestor computing device to a provider computing device associated with a matched provider for the transport request information.
