Abstract
A method includes receiving, from a user computing device, a transportation request including a proposed arrival time for a package to arrive at a destination and determining a pickup time to pick up the package based on the proposed arrival time and based on one or more factors affecting ability for the package to arrive at the destination at the proposed arrival time. The method further includes receiving, before the package is picked up, changes to the one or more factors and determining a new pickup time based on the proposed arrival time and the changes to the one or more factors. The method further includes transmitting, to a driver computing device associated with a driver based on the new pickup time, navigational data to direct the driver to pick up the package and providing, to the user computing device, status of a driver location of the driver computing device.
