Abstract
This application relates to apparatus and methods for determining delivery prices for, and the assigning of, order deliveries. In some examples, a computing device may obtain order data identifying an order for delivery. The computing device may transmit a request to deliver the order for a first price to a first driver. The computing device may determine that a response to the request has not been received, and obtain risk values corresponding to identified delivery request acceptance risk factors. The risk factors may include location based risk factors, delivery time risk factors, driver supply risk factors, and time deadline risk factors. The computing device may determine a second price based on the first price and the risk values by executing one or more algorithms. The computing device may then transmit another request to deliver the order for the second price to a second driver.
