Embodiments provide techniques, including systems and methods, for assignment and/or reassignment of transport requests received within a request matching time period. For example, transport requests received during a request matching time period, as well as requests determined to be eligible during the request matching time period for reassignment, are associated with a location identifier (e.g., geohash) and are pooled at a dynamic transportation matching system in order for a dynamic assignment and/or reassignment that may reduce a metric (e.g., an overall estimated time of arrival (ETA) for requests) associated with the dynamic transportation matching system.

A computer system operates to receive a plurality of service requests from computing devices of requesters within a geographic region. The system may further receive service information from a plurality of computing devices within the geographic region, each computing device being associated with a respective service provider. The system may then determine, for the respective service provider, (i) a current location of the respective service provider based on the service information received from the computing device of the respective service provider, and (ii) one or more preferred subregions of the respective service provider. The system can then match the respective service provider to a first service request of the plurality of service requests based at least in part on (i) the one or more preferred subregions of the respective service provider, and (ii) a destination of the first service request.

An information processing device and an information processing method determine a vehicle to be allocated to a user based on a vehicle allocation request from an information terminal operated by a user, calculate an accuracy of a position of the information terminal based on a position data indicating the position of an information terminal, extract a waiting point that is a candidate for a point where the user and the vehicle meet, based on the position data, and transmit the waiting point to the information terminal. Here, a number of waiting points extracted when the accuracy is low is greater than a number of waiting points extracted when the accuracy is high.

Aspects concern a method for controlling a transport system comprising determining historical data of a multiplicity of transport trips performed by the transport system, training a neural network to perform an invertible mapping of transport trips to latent representations to fulfil, by the distribution of the latent representations of the multiplicity of transport trips, a predetermined fitting criterion with respect to a predetermined latent representation base distribution, sampling a multiplicity of latent representations from the base distribution, mapping each of the sampled latent representations to a respective transport trip by using the trained neural network to perform the inverse of the invertible mapping to generate a multiplicity of synthetic transport trips, determining a control scheme for the transport system using the multiplicity of synthetic transport trips and controlling the transport system using the determined control scheme.
