Abstract

For each vehicle of multiple vehicles, a first location for a service is associated with a first cell identifier of a grid, which is in turn compared to travel segments based on historical trips of the vehicle. At least some of the grid cells are associated with the historical trips, and the cell size indicates a maximum acceptable deviation from a travel segment. Travel segments include a start cell identifier, a start time, an end cell identifier, and an end time. When the first cell identifier matches the start or end cell identifier, whether the first time associated with the first location overlaps the start or end time is determined. When such an overlap exists, the vehicle is identified in a list of candidate vehicles for the service. An instruction to a candidate vehicle in the list causes the candidate vehicle to perform at least a portion of the service.
