1. A method for arranging a transport service, the method being performed by one or more processors of a computing device and comprising:

  • for each driver device of a plurality of driver devices in a given area, determining, using the one or more processors, 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, each first vector having a first magnitude and a first direction from a position of that driver device;

    receiving, over one or more networks, a request for transport service from a client device of the set of client devices;

    for each driver device of the plurality of driver devices, determining, using the one or more processors, a second vector for that driver device based on the first vector and a position of the requesting client device, the second vector having a second magnitude and a second direction from the position of that driver device; and

    selecting, using the one or more processors, a driver device from the plurality of driver devices to perform the transport service based, at least in part, on the second magnitudes of the second vectors of the plurality of driver devices.
