Abstract: Input data that includes one or more observations made at one or more corresponding time slices is received. The input data is provided to one or more time-based prediction models that predict one or more values for one or more future time slices. One or more randomness compensating factors are determined. The one or more randomness compensating factors correspond to one or more features indicative of one or more events associated with the one or more corresponding time slices. Based at least in part on the determining of the one or more randomness compensating factors and the prediction of the one or more time-based prediction models, a second one or more values for at least one of the one or more future time slices are predicted. In response to the predicting of the second one or more values, an indication associated with the predicted second one or more values are presented to a user computer device.

Abstract: An asset identifier for an asset located within a physical environment is obtained based on received scanning information. The asset identifier is associated with a delivery destination defined for the asset. Asset location data that is associated with the obtained asset identifier and defines a position of the asset within the physical environment is generated based on the received scanning information. A current location of the physical environment is determined based on received asset location data. One or more lights of a plurality of lights are selectively activated to indicate the position of the asset within the physical environment based on the asset location data and a determination that the determined current location is within a threshold distance of the defined delivery destination.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide systems and methods for facilitating synchronized delivery of shipments/items scheduled to be delivered to multiple serviceable points located nearby one another. Various embodiments identify nearby serviceable points based on an identification of serviceable points being associated with a common geographic descriptor. Accordingly, various embodiments receive shipping data for a first shipment to be delivered to a first serviceable point and a second shipment to be delivered to a second serviceable point. A first geographic descriptor is identified as associated with the first serviceable point and a second geographic descriptor is identified as associated with the second serviceable point, and a determination is made whether the first and second geographic descriptors are the same. Upon a determination that the first and second geographic descriptors are the same, an indication is provided that the first and second shipments are eligible for synchronized delivery.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to a mapping management computer system. According to various embodiments, the mapping management computer system may be configured for updating geographical maps by assessing map data and operational data including vehicle telematics data to identify portions of a vehicle path that do not correspond to known travel paths. In various embodiments, the system is configured to define these identified portions as new known travel paths corresponding to a public road, private road, parking lot lane, or the like, and update the map data to reflect the new known travel paths.

Abstract: Computer program products, methods, systems, apparatus, and computing entities for tracking an item delivery are provided. In one embodiment, an item is associated with a vehicle (e.g., manned or unmanned terrestrial vehicle, nautical vehicle, and/or aerial vehicle) by updating item data in a database. An item tracking session is then generated based on the item data. Upon the determination that session availability trigger has occurred, access to the item tracking session is provided to a user. Data representing an updated location of the delivery vehicle is then used to update the item data to indicate the current location of the item as the updated location of the vehicle.
