Abstract: A vehicle control device configured to perform control related to pickup and delivery by a vehicle. The vehicle is movable forward bi-directionally and includes package compartments on first and second sides. The vehicle control device is configured to perform operations including: acquiring position information of a target user point; acquiring position information of a target package compartment for storing a package to be delivered or picked up with respect to an advancing direction in which the vehicle travels toward the target user point; and outputting an instruction to reverse the advancing direction of the vehicle to a vehicle controller configured to perform traveling control of the vehicle in a case where a side of a side surface where the target package compartment is positioned and a side of the target user point with respect to the advancing direction of the vehicle do not coincide with each other.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer readable medium, and circuits for identifying delay risks in carrier shipping services. A method includes: receiving a pre-shipment notification from a customer indicating that a load will be collected from a source location and delivered to a destination location; determining a collection date to collect the load based on a status of contents of the load; identifying a first carrier and a service level for the load considering a requested delivery date; prior to collection of the load, determining a predicted delivery date for the load based on friction within a transit configuration for the load using the first carrier, wherein the friction is associated with at least one intrinsic constraint of the first carrier and at least one extrinsic constraint; and in response to determining that the predicted delivery date is after the requested delivery date, identifying at least one correction.

Abstract: A transportation system controls a fleet of autonomous vehicles to implement passenger transportation and coordinate delivery of baggage or other associated items using separate vehicles. The transportation system receives passenger data and associated item data via a user interface, and determines the number and type of autonomous vehicles to transport the passengers and items from selected pick-up locations to a destination. In various implementations, the transportation system may support different pick-up locations, pick-up times and/or delivery times for the passengers and associated items. The transportation system also may determine delayed item delivery options for different delivery times and modes of transportation. Based on the passenger and item data, along with input received via the user interface, the transportation system determines the vehicles to deploy and the delivery routes, and transmits instructions to the autonomous vehicles to provide the passenger transportation and perform the item delivery.

Abstract: A method including setting a preferred delivery route as an initial delivery route comprising original delivery stops. The method further can include evaluating, in real-time, the preferred delivery route, comprising: (a) determining a to-be-resequenced delivery stop list by moving a random quantity of delivery stops from the original delivery stops to the to-be-resequenced delivery stop list based on a delivery-stop-selecting act, wherein: after the to-be-resequenced delivery stop list is determined, a modified preferred delivery route comprises remaining delivery stops from the original delivery stops; (b) after determining the to-be-resequenced delivery stop list, creating, in real-time, a resequenced delivery route by adding each delivery stop of the random quantity of delivery stops of the to-be-resequenced delivery stop list to the modified preferred delivery route; (c) determining, in real-time, whether the resequenced delivery route is preferred over the preferred delivery route; and (d) when the resequenced delivery route is determined to be preferred over the preferred delivery route, resetting, in real-time, the preferred delivery route to be the resequenced delivery route. The method further can include transmitting, in real-time via a computer network, the preferred delivery route to a driver mobile device of a delivery driver for the delivery driver to follow the preferred delivery route to make deliveries. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: An online concierge system receives, from a client device associated with a user of the online concierge system, order data associated with an order placed with the online concierge system, in which the order data describes a delivery location for the order. The online concierge system receives information describing a set of attributes associated with the delivery location and accesses a machine learning model trained to predict a difference between an arrival time and a delivery time for the delivery location. The online concierge system applies the model to the set of attributes associated with the delivery location to predict the difference between the arrival time and the delivery time for the delivery location and determines an estimated delivery time for the order based at least in part on the predicted difference. The online concierge system sends the estimated delivery time for the order for display to the client device.
