  • Publication number: 20230114426
    Abstract: An intermodal facility management system for facilitating delivery, pickup, facility access, and cargo management is presented. The system can receive data from clients within proximity of one or more wireless beacons. The system can capture data from clients that ingress or egress into or out of a facility, respectively, and validate received data with the captured data. The system can enable cargo transfer optimization by forecasting client arrival times to particular destination locations, and the forecasting can account for access point delays, such as can be due to an authentication process. The system can provide a measure of redundancy in ensuring that particular cargo is being sent to proper locations, and the system can further prompt facility personnel to ensure that cargo is accessible and ready for dispatch upon arrival of any given client.
