Abstract: A delivery vehicle containing items to be delivered to a plurality of target recipients at different delivery addresses also includes a mobile user interface configured to be disposed within and carried by the delivery vehicle, the mobile user interface presenting an interactive display having discrete information fields for identifying information corresponding to the target recipients, predetermined delivery windows corresponding to each of at least some of the target recipients, and actual delivery-time information corresponding to each of at least some of the target recipients.

Abstract: In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to delivery service facility location selection. In some embodiments, a system for delivery service facility location selection comprises an area information database, a node location database, and a control circuit configured to select one or more nodes as a recommended delivery service facility location by: assigning cost values to a plurality of items in the area information, associating area information with at least some nodes of the plurality of nodes based on the location information of the at least some nodes, determining an area cost value for each of the at least some nodes based on cost values associated with the plurality of items of the area information, determining a transportation cost value for each of the at least some nodes, and selecting a node from the at least some nodes as the recommended.

Abstract: A driver computer transmits notifications of arrival at destinations and possibly other notifications indicating departure or other actions. Based on these notifications the drop off delay required to make the delivery is estimated. The drop off delays for a destination are combined to arrive at a drop off estimate. The estimated arrival time at a destination in a route is then calculated as the estimated travel times to and between preceding destinations plus the drop off estimates for the preceding destinations. Drop off estimates may include a range of likely drop off times such that the estimated arrival time includes arrange of likely arrival times. The estimated arrival time is transmitted to recipients of the deliveries. The estimated arrival time may be updated based on actual delivery times and the updated arrival time transmitted to the recipients.
