Abstract

Disclosed herein are mobile smart lockers configured for implementation in various locations including residential locations to overcome last mile delivery challenges. Further disclosed are systems and methods for providers of geolocational sites to offer sites for acceptance and requestors of smart locker hubs to select sites for stationing mobile smart locker devices.

Claims (18)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a server device, a request for locations of available mobile smart lockers available for package pickup or delivery within a geographic location;

retrieving, by the server device, a set of available mobile smart lockers available for the package pickup or delivery within the geographic location;

wherein, each of the set of available smart lockers are selected based on:

predicting, a probability of selecting the available mobile smart lockers based on a selection model applied to a target requestor requirements and historical preferences;

predicting, a probability of availability of the mobile smart lockers based on historical activity and transactional activity data associated with a respective mobile smart locker and associated host device;

predicting, a probability of booking a threshold number of the set of available smart lockers based on the probability of selecting and the probability of availability; and

render, by an application executing on the server device, the set of available smart lockers on a requestor device interface.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

extracting, by the server device, a set of insights from the predicting the probability of selecting the available mobile smart lockers and the predicting the probability of availability of the mobile smart lockers; and

training, by a set of server devices, a predictive model based on the set of insights extracted from the predicting the probability of selecting the available mobile smart lockers and the predicting the probability of availability of the mobile smart lockers.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

updating, by the server device, a machine learning model associated with the retrieving the set of available mobile smart lockers, with the extracted set of insights.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the machine learning model is a recurrent neural network, a convolutional neural network, or a combination thereof.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein an insight of the set of insights comprises:

comparing the predicting the probability of the selecting the available mobile smart lockers to a final booking activity of the requestor; and

comparing the predicting the probability of availability of the mobile smart lockers to an actual availability of the mobile smart lockers.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein an insight comprises a relationship between one or more selections based on interactions between requestors and mobile smart locker providers.
