Embodiments provide techniques, including systems and methods, for determining matches of requestors and providers based on a dynamic provider eligibility model. For example, a request matching model uses an estimated arrival time for a requestor and estimated travel times for available providers to a pickup location to determine eligible providers for matching to a ride request. The matching model determines those providers that are far enough away from the request location to allow the requestor time to arrive at the pickup location without matching providers that are too far away, causing delay for the requestor and lowering the efficiency of the system by taking provider system resources from other service areas and increasing provider downtime upon matching. Additionally, embodiments provide more efficient matching processing leading to fewer canceled matched requests, fewer requests for a successful match, and fewer system resources necessary to meet requestor demand.

LOCALIZING TRANSPORTATION REQUESTS UTILIZING AN IMAGE BASED TRANSPORTATION REQUEST INTERFACE
The present application discloses an improved transportation matching system, and corresponding methods and computer-readable media. According to the disclosed embodiments, the transportation matching system utilizes an image-based transportation request interface and environmental digital image stream to efficiently generate transportation requests with accurate pickup locations. For instance, the disclosed system can utilize one or more environmental digital images provided from a requestor computing device (e.g., a mobile device or an augmented reality wearable device) to determine information such as the location of the requestor computing device and a transportation pickup location within the environmental digital images. Furthermore, the disclosed system can provide, for display on the requestor computing device, one or more augmented reality elements at the transportation pickup location within an environmental scene that includes the transportation pickup location.
The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for intelligently restricting transportation changes based on signals in a dynamic transportation matching system. For example, the disclosed systems can analyze signals associated with transportation of a requestor by a vehicle of a provider to determine whether a transportation-change request is indicated. In response to determining that a transportation-change request is indicated, the disclosed systems can prevent a transportation change to a destination, route, or waypoint and generate a restriction notification. The disclosed system can also provide the restriction notification to at least a provider client device in response to determining that it is safe to do so.
