Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for generating a sort zone assignment plan for packages expected to arrive at a facility during a predetermined period of time. Prior to arrival of the packages at the facility, a sort zone assignment plan is generated that optimizes distribution of the plurality of packages to a plurality of sort zones within the facility for a given sorting cycle. Once a package arrives at the facility, the package is scanned and the sort zone assignment is determined according to the sort zone assignment plan. The package is then transferred to the assigned sort zone.

Abstract: Systems and methods for rescheduling passengers are provided. One example aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a method for rescheduling passengers. The method includes receiving an indication that an event has disrupted a plurality of flights. The method includes identifying a plurality of itineraries. The method includes determining a plurality of sets for the itineraries. The method includes determining a plurality of operations plan alternatives based on the plurality of sets. The method includes determining one or more constraints from the plurality of sets of itineraries. The method includes applying the one or more constraints to the plurality of operations plan alternatives to determine an impact of the one or more constraints to the plurality of operations plan alternatives on the sets of itineraries. The method includes determining an operations plan comprising a schedule for the plurality of flights.

Abstract: An airline operations system, controller and method reschedules flights affected by a disruption that precludes a planned schedule for the flights. The method includes obtaining data related to a scheduled origination and a scheduled destination for each of a set of passengers scheduled on the flights, generating a passenger connection network of connections between the scheduled origination and the scheduled destination for a subset of the set of passengers, applying at least one criterion to the passenger connection network and rescheduling at least one connecting flight based on the criteria. The system and controller solves a network flow problem to reschedule a subset of connecting flights to have a delayed projected departure time. Resulting output can include the set of delayed flights along with modified projected departure times, a set of flight cancellations and a set of passengers with missed connections.

Abstract: Techniques for efficiently managing resources are described. In an example, a computer system may access a forecast for demand associated with utilizing a service during a time period, where the service is available from service sources grouped in clusters. The computer system may identify resources scheduled to facilitate the service. Based on a scheduled start time for utilizing a resource, the forecast, and an allocation of remaining resources to the clusters, the computer system may allocate the resource to a first cluster and may provide a notification about the allocation to an associated client device. At a subsequent time during the time period, the computer system may re-allocate the resource to a second cluster based on a current utilization of the resource, an update to the forecast, and the allocation of the remaining resources. A respective notification may be provided to the client device.
