Abstract

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for processing at least one service request for an on-demand service. The systems may perform the methods to determine a start location and a destination related to the service request; determine a recommended route based on the start location and the destination; determine a reference direction related to a vehicle based on the recommended route; and send, to at least one provider terminal, data related to the reference direction.

Claims (68)

1. A system configured to be implemented in an online transportation service platform, comprising:

at least one storage medium including a set of instructions for processing at least one service request of a transportation service; and

logic circuits connected to the at least one storage medium, wherein during operation, the logic circuits load the set of instructions and:

obtain a service request of a transportation service sent to the system through a network;

determine a start location and a destination related to the service request;

determine a plurality of candidate routes based on the start location and the destination;

determine a recommended route based on the plurality of candidate routes;

determine a reference direction related to a vehicle based on the recommended route; and

send, to at least one provider terminal, data related to the reference direction.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein to determine the reference direction related to the vehicle based on the recommended route, the logic circuits further;

determine a start direction of he recommended route; and

determine the reference direction related to the vehicle based on the start direction of the recommended route.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein to determine the recommended route based on the plurality of candidate routes, the logic circuits further:

determine a plurality of distances corresponding to the plurality of candidate routes;

rank the plurality of candidate routes based at least in part on the distances to determine a first ranking result; and

determine the recommended route based on the first ranking result.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein to determine the recommended route based on the first ranking result, the logic circuits further:

identify a first distance of the plurality of distances based on the first ranking result; and

select, from the plurality of candidate routes, a first candidate route associated with the first distance as the recommended route.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein to determine the recommended route based on the plurality of candidate routes, the logic circuits further:

determine a plurality of traffic conditions corresponding to the plurality of candidate routes;

rank the plurality of candidate routes based at least in part on the traffic conditions to determine a second ranking result; and

determine the recommended route based on the second ranking result.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein to determine the recommended route based on the second ranking result, the logic circuits further:

identify a first traffic condition of the plurality of traffic conditions based on the second ranking result; and

select, from the plurality of candidate routes, a second candidate route associated with the first traffic condition as the recommended route.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the logic circuits further:

receive, from a requestor terminal, the service request; and

send, to the requestor terminal, the data related to the reference direction.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the data related to the reference direction comprises data for presentation of the reference direction related to the vehicle.

9. A method, comprising:

obtaining, by a processor, a service request of a transportation service through a network,

determining, by the processor, a start location and a destination related to the service request;

determining, by the processor, a plurality of candidate routes based on the start location and the destination;

determining, by the processor, a recommended route based on the plurality of candidate routes;

determining, by the processor, a reference direction related to a vehicle based on the recommended route; and

sending, to at least one provider terminal, data related to the reference direction.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein determining the reference direction related to the vehicle based on the recommended route further comprises:

determining a start direction of the recommended route; and

determining the reference direction related to the vehicle based on the start direction of the recommended route.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein determining the recommended route based on the plurality of candidate routes further comprises:

determining a plurality of distances corresponding to the plurality of candidate routes;

ranking the plurality of candidate routes based at least in part on the distances to determine a first ranking result; and

determining the recommended route based on the first ranking result.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein determining the recommended route based on the first ranking result further comprises:

identifying a first distance of the plurality of distances based on the first ranking result; and

selecting, from the plurality of candidate routes, a first candidate route associated with the first distance as the recommended route.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein determining the recommended route based on the plurality of candidate routes further comprises:

determining a plurality of traffic conditions corresponding to the plurality of candidate routes;

ranking the plurality of candidate routes based at least in part on the traffic conditions to determine a second ranking result; and

determining the recommended route based on the second ranking result.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein determining the recommended route based on the second ranking result further comprises:

identifying a first traffic condition of the plurality of traffic conditions based on the second ranking result; and

selecting, from the plurality of candidate routes, a second candidate route associated with the first traffic condition as the recommended route.

15. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

receiving, from a requestor terminal, the service request; and

sending, to the requestor terminal, the data related to the reference direction.

16. The method of claim 9 , wherein the data related to the reference direction comprises data for presentation of the reference direction related to the vehicle.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to effectuate a method comprising:

obtaining a service request of a transportation service through a network;

determining a start location and a destination related to the service request;

determining a plurality of candidate routes based on the start location and the destination;

determining a recommended route based on the plurality of candidate routes;

determining a reference direction related to a vehicle based on the recommended route; and

sending, to at least one provider terminal, data related to the reference direction.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , the method further comprising:

determining a start direction of the recommended route; and

determining the reference direction related to the vehicle based on the start direction of the recommended route.
