Abstract

Methods for determining a price for transporting a product are described. In one example, a method comprises receiving, by a computing device, a request to transport a product. The method further comprises determining, by the computing device, a first latitude and a first longitude and a second latitude and a second longitude, inputting, by the computing device, the first latitude, the first longitude, the second latitude, the second longitude, and the pick-up date into a first machine learning (ML) model, receiving, by the computing device from the ML model, a calculated price for transporting the product, receiving, by the computing device, input indicating adjustments to the calculated price for transporting the product, and adjusting, by the computing device, the calculated price based on the input, thereby resulting in a transportation price.
