Abstract
Embodiments provide techniques, including systems and methods, for determining alternate request locations based on a pickup location score (PLoS) of a location associated with transportation request information. A pickup location score may include an objective quantitative measurement of the fitness of a location for a pickup by a provider. For example, embodiments may receive transport request information associated with a requestor computing device including a request location, determine a modified request location based at least on a location score for each of one or more alternate request locations that are within a threshold distance of the request location, and send modified transport request information associated with the modified request location and the first requestor computing device to a provider computing device associated with a matched provider for the transport request information.
