Abstract: A management system for managing the utilization of item receptacles in a distribution network. Items can be transferred to recipients at a limited number of item receptacles in unit delivery facilities of the distribution network. Item retrieval behavior is tracked to determine a recipient score for known recipients. Based on the recipient scores, subsequent items to be transferred can be placed in a receptacle or a storage area based on the associated recipient score. Placement in receptacles can be prioritized to recipients with low scores indicating that the item will likely be retrieved quickly, while items addressed to recipients with high scores may not be placed into a receptacle if receptacles are scarce.

Abstract: A system and method of augmenting a delivery route. Exemplary methods include first location information from a first position device and receiving second location information from a second position device, storing first and second location information, and determining, based on at least one of the first and second information, a time and a location for each of a plurality of stops. Exemplary methods also include reconciling determined time and locations of each of the plurality of stops with a stored route, the stops having a stored location and a stored time associated therewith and estimating a plurality of transition times between pairs of the plurality of stops. Exemplary methods include constructing an updated timeline based on the plurality of stored stops, the plurality of determined stops, and the plurality of transition times and updating the delivery route based on the constructed timeline.

Abstract: A system and method of augmenting a delivery route. The method comprises receiving first location information from a first position device and receiving second location information from a second position device. The method further comprises storing the first and second location information in a memory structure and determining, based on at least one of the first and second information, a time and a location for each of a plurality of stops. The method also comprises reconciling the determined time and location of each of the plurality of stops with a stored route comprising a plurality of stored stops, the stored stops having a stored location and a stored time associated therewith and estimating a plurality of transition times between pairs of the plurality of stops.

Abstract: System and methods described herein relate to a driving speed matrix and a traffic control point matrix based on breadcrumb data. Standardized routes and times can be determined based on the breadcrumb data, and the standardized routes and times can be mapped onto a plurality of routes. Based on standardized times for routes, routes can be adjusted or optimized.

Abstract: Methods and systems for coordinating item delivery are disclosed. In one aspect, a method comprises receiving delivery route data from a carrier device, generating, based on the delivery route data, a digital route for a delivery resource, the digital route comprising a street portion and an office portion, wherein the street portion comprises: a plurality of delivery points at which the carrier is to perform a service, and a segmented travel course for the carrier to travel to each of the plurality of delivery points in a determined sequence, and wherein the office portion comprises details regarding one or more office activities performed by the carrier to prepare for or conclude the street portion of a delivery route.
