Balancing package delivery sub-route assignments amongst delivery workers based on worker efficiencies and attendance

This invention describes a computer system designed to manage package deliveries. It retrieves delivery routes, package counts, and details about available workers, including their skills and efficiency. The system then uses this information to assign workers to specific delivery routes or sub-routes, aiming to optimize who goes where. It can also generate and update these routes using historical data and map information.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread availability of highly scalable cloud-based AI/ML services. These services now enable more sophisticated real-time processing of geographical and worker efficiency data for dynamic route optimization and adaptive scheduling, making the system's core functions more powerful and practical.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
