Abstract:

A system and method for arranging a transport service is described. A server can determine, for each driver device of a plurality of driver devices in a given area, a first vector for that driver device based, at least in part, on a position of each client device of a set of client devices in the given area relative to that driver device. A request for transport service is received from a client device from the set of client devices. The server can determine, for each driver, a second vector for that driver based on the first vector and a position of the requesting client. A driver device is selected from the plurality of driver devices to perform the transport service based, at least in part, on the second vectors of the plurality of driver devices.
