1. A network system for managing a network-based service, comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more memory resources storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors of the network system, cause the network system to:
receive location data from a provider device of a service provider, the location data indicating a current location of the provider device;
using at least the location data in an optimization model, determine one or more actions for the service provider to optimize one or more metrics, the one or more metrics corresponding to at least one of (i) an expected wait time for the service provider over a future period of time, (ii) an expected travel distance between providing services over a future period of time, or (iii) an expected amount of earnings for the service provider over a future period of time;
wherein the optimization model is based at least in part on a set of historical data associated with the network-based service; and
transmit, to the provider device of the service provider, a dataset to cause the provider device to display information corresponding to the one or more actions for the service provider.
