Patent

CA 2531265

A system and method is disclosed that provides for the scheduling of delivery jobs using estimated arrival times that are repeatedly updated while the delivery job progresses. A number of delivery vehicles are dispatched on a first set of delivery jobs such that the delivery vehicles are scheduled to arrive at a bottleneck point at intervals, to prevent delays at the bottleneck point. As each delivery vehicle progresses on an assigned delivery job, location information of the delivery vehicle is used to update an estimated time of arrival at the bottleneck point. When a delivery vehicle completes an assigned delivery job and is ready to be dispatched on a remaining delivery job, the estimated delivery durations of the remaining delivery jobs and the estimated times of arrival of the delivery vehicles currently on assigned delivery jobs are used to assign one of th(z remaining delivery jobs to the delivery vehicle.
