Abstract: This application relates to apparatus and methods for generating and implementing a machine learning model in electronic delivery systems to determine delivery routes and times. In some examples, a computing device generates a machine learning model comprising a plurality of indexed binary trees. Each indexed binary tree determines either a first value, or a second value, based on comparing an input to a condition value. The machine learning model can generate prediction values based on the determined values of all indexed binary trees. The machine learning model is trained with historical data. Once trained, the machine learning model's performance is evaluated. Based on the evaluation, the machine learning model may be further refined. Once the machine learning model's performance satisfies requirements, the computing device employs the machine learning model to determine vehicle delivery routes and estimated delivery times.
