Abstract
Systems and techniques for generating an enhanced estimated time of arrival (ETA) with a dynamic time window for last-mile delivery. A system includes an enhanced ETA model that ingests data from disparate data signals including historical data signals, projected traffic signals, and/or real-time signals. The enhanced ETA model considers station dwell time and travel time when generating the enhanced ETA. The system standardizes the format of ingested data and converts non-formatted data into a standardized format. The enhanced ETA model includes a station dwell time model to predict dwell time of trains within a station and a train travel time model to predict expected travel time from a source to a destination. The system generates a control signal based on the enhanced ETA to actuate movement of equipment. The dynamic time window of the enhanced ETA becomes smaller as the train approaches the destination.
