Abstract
A transportation company uses transportation vehicles. The transportation company receives a plurality of transportation needs. These transportation needs are received from user accounts. The transportation needs are based on states of users gathered without user intervention. Each transportation needs include time parameters and location parameters. The transportation company determines a probabilistic model for transportation needs. The probabilistic model is based on the plurality of transportation needs. The first probabilistic model relate to respective probabilities of transportation needs occurring at the locations and times of the plurality of transportation needs. The transportation company determines which transportation vehicles are currently available. The company then determines a plan which includes some of the vehicles going to some of the locations at some of the times. This plan is based on the probabilistic model. The transportation company then deploys these vehicles to locations and times using this plan.
