Abstract

Methods and systems for correcting errors in transportation routes are provided. In one embodiment, a method is provided that includes receiving a transportation request that includes at least two locations. A first route prediction may be generated based on a first set of previously-completed routes associated with the at least two locations. A first predictive model may compare the first route prediction with route information associated with a second set of previously-completed routes identified based on the first route prediction. A second route prediction may be generated based on the comparison and may be sent to a mobile device for presentation to a user.
