Abstract
Embodiments provide techniques, including systems and methods, for determining curb segments within a threshold boundary of a transport request location, which when evaluated with respect to travel time, among other factors, result in travel efficiencies over the original transport request location. For example, a curb identification system uses building perimeter edges and road parameters to determine curb segments, which are stored as curb segment data. The curb segment data is used to identify alternate request locations corresponding to an original request location, such as being with a radius or boundary. A time for a requestor to travel from the original request location to the alternate request location is evaluated with regard to travel time.
