Abstract: According to various embodiments, a fleet management system is provided for capturing, storing, and analyzing telematics data to improve fleet management operations. The fleet management system may be used, for example, by a shipping entity (e.g., a common carrier) to capture telematics data from a plurality of vehicle sensors located on various delivery vehicles and to analyze the captured telematics data. In particular, various embodiments of the fleet management system are configured to analyze engine idle data in relation to other telematics data in order to identify inefficiencies, safety hazards, and theft hazards in a driver's delivery process. The fleet management system may also be configured to assess various aspects of vehicle performance, such as vehicle travel delays and vehicle speeds. These analytical capabilities allow the fleet management system to assist fleet managing entities, or other entities, in analyzing driver performance, reducing fuel and maintenance costs, and improving route planning.

Abstract: A mobile locker bank system for providing parcel pickup/delivery at various locations is provided. A mobile locker bank can be automatically routed and travel to a location to facilitate pickup/delivery of parcels. Further, the mobile locker bank system may expand capacity of a fixed locker bank having monitors when the number of available lockers drops below a predefined threshold capacity at the fixed locker bank. In response to this trigger, a mobile locker bank is automatically routed to the fixed locker bank to increase a number of available lockers at the location. Each locker bank further includes a communication system that is adapted to facilitate direct or indirect communication between the fixed locker bank computing system and the mobile locker bank computing system when the mobile locker bank is positioned adjacent the location of the fixed locker bank.

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. A projection device emits a navigational projection that corresponds to 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: Systems, methods, and media are described for enriched logistics decision-making for logistics systems having unmanned systems for use in delivering parcels. In some cases, logistics route plans may be determined based on historical, real-time, and predicted navigation factors or variables, such as weather, traffic, transporter type, etc. Using this information, a set of candidate route plans may be determined. The candidate route plans may be ranked using one or more weighted objectives, such as reducing delivery time and/or cost. Parcel transporters may navigate the highest ranked route plan to transport a parcel. In some aspects, implementation of route plans may be monitored by comparing measured real-time data to the predicted values from the enriched decision-making. In some cases, the implemented route plans may be monitored and adjusted or abandoned based on the monitoring.

Abstract: Computer program products, methods, systems, apparatus, and computing entities are provided for creating, modifying, and viewing geographic areas and their corresponding routes and items of work. For example, an interface can be provided with a map display area and a route display area. The map display area and the route display area can be synchronized to create new routes, modify existing routes, and/or view information about various routes and/or items of work.

Abstract: Embodiments are provided for automating selection of insurance policies for physical assets via a distributed ledger. A computing device, which in some instances can be coupled to or associated with a physical asset, can determine that a distributed ledger maintained by a plurality of distributed nodes includes a first transaction that corresponds to a request for insurance associated with the physical asset being transported from a first location to a second location. The computing device can also determine that the distributed ledger includes a set of second transactions that correspond to a set of insurance policies that each reference the first transaction, each transaction in the corresponding set of second transactions having insurance policy parameters that are determined based on the insurance request criteria. A transaction is generated for communication to a node for storage into the distributed ledger, where the generated transaction references an optimal insurance policy selected from the set of insurance policies based on predetermined weights.

Abstract: Embodiments are provided for verifying physical proximity of counterparties in digital asset transfers. A sender device receives a recipient hash and a recipient address are received, where recipient hash is generated by the recipient device based on each of the associated recipient address and a first set of location parameters. The sender device obtains a second set of location parameters that corresponds to a detected physical location thereof. The sender device employs the obtained second set of location parameters to decipher the recipient hash, and generates a request to transfer a digital token from a sender address associated with the sender device to the recipient address based on a determination that the deciphered recipient hash corresponds to the received recipient address.

Abstract: Computer program products, methods, systems, apparatus, and computing entities are provided. In one embodiment, the location of entities (e.g., computing entities and establishments) can be monitored or identified to determine whether they are within a configurable/determinable distance/proximity from each other. Such determinations can be used to automatically provide notifications and/or allow or disallow events.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatus, and computer program products are provided for identifying assets (e.g., mobile assets and/or personnel assets). A mobile asset is uniquely identified from RFID tags. Additionally, mobile assets and personnel assets are identified from captured image data. After identification, it can be determined whether the asset (e.g., mobile asset and/or personnel asset) is authorized for one or more activities and a corresponding perceivable indication can be generated.
