Abstract

Systems and methods of using sensor data for coordinate prediction are disclosed herein. In some example embodiments, for a place, a computer system accesses corresponding service data comprising pick-up data and drop-off data for requests, and accesses corresponding sensor data indicating at least one path of mobile devices of the requesters of the requests, with the at least one path comprising at least one of a pick-up path ending at the pick-up location indicated by the pick-up data and a drop-off path beginning at the drop-off location indicated by the drop-off data. In some example embodiments, the computer system generates at least one predicted geographic location using the paths indicated by the sensor data, and stores the at least one predicted geographic location in a database in association with an identification of the place.
