  • Publication number: 20240426618
    Abstract: A computer implemented method provides transshipping. A number of processor units identifies destination information for a load for a first transport vehicle having a first destination and a second transport vehicle having a second destination. The number of processor units determines a lane definition for an ad-hoc transport node on a road based on predicted locations for the first transport vehicle bound for the first destination and the second transport vehicle bound for the second destination. The lane definition defines a set of transfer lanes for the ad-hoc transport node. The number of processor units transfers the load between the first transport vehicle and the second transport vehicle in response to the first transport vehicle and the second transport vehicle being within the ad-hoc transport node.

  • Patent number: 12094332
    Abstract: In an approach for reducing economic loss due to traffic events, a processor receives a set of transportation operation information from one or more transportation service providers about a traffic event. A processor analyzes the set of transportation operation information to identify an area affected by the traffic event and one or more users affected by the traffic event. A processor gathers a set of information about each user of the one or more users affected by the traffic event. A processor prioritizes the one or more users affected by the traffic event. A processor determines an alternative plan for each user of the one or more users affected by the traffic event based on the set of information and a priority number given to each user. A processor proposes the alternative plan to each user of the one or more users affected by the traffic event.
