Network computer system to evaluate an operator of a freight vehicle
First Claim
1. A computer system comprising:
- one or more processors;
a set of memory resources to store a set of instructions;
wherein the one or more processors use the set of instructions to;
for each freight vehicle of a plurality of freight vehicles that are to arrive at a destination location during a given time interval, assign a dock at the destination location to the freight vehicle by;
associating a corresponding operator with a respective mobile device;
determining a current location of the freight vehicle operated by the corresponding operator, using location information transmitted by the respective mobile device; and
at a given instance while the freight vehicle is traveling from the current location of the freight vehicle to the destination location, determining a time of arrival for the freight vehicle to arrive at the destination location based, at least in part, on (i) a distance between the current location of the freight vehicle to the destination location, (ii) a time for the freight vehicle to travel the distance, and (iii) a duration of one or more minimum downtime intervals during which one or more restrictions are placed on the corresponding operator operating the freight vehicle; and
selecting the dock for the freight vehicle based at least in part, on the time of arrival of other freight vehicles of the plurality of freight vehicles.

Abstract
A network computer system can associate an operator with a mobile device. Additionally, the network computer system can determine a current location of a freight vehicle operated by the operator, using location information transmitted by the mobile device associated with the operator. At a given instance, the network computer system can determine a time of arrival for the freight vehicle to arrive at a given destination location based on various parameters. For example, the time of arrival can be based at least in part, on (i) a distance between the current location of the freight vehicle to the given destination location, (ii) a time for the freight vehicle to travel the distance, and (iii) a duration of one or more required downtime intervals during which one or more restrictions are placed on the operator operating the freight vehicle.

10. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a network computer system, cause the one or more processors to:
for each freight vehicle of a plurality of freight vehicles that are to arrive at a destination location during a given time interval, assign a dock at the destination location to the freight vehicle by; associating a corresponding operator with a respective mobile device; determining a current location of the freight vehicle operated by the corresponding operator, using location information transmitted by the respective mobile device; at a given instance while the freight vehicle is traveling from the current location of the freight vehicle to the destination location, determining a time of arrival for the freight vehicle to arrive at the destination location based, at least in part, on (i) a distance between the current location of the freight vehicle to the destination location, (ii) a time for the freight vehicle to travel the distance, and (iii) a duration of one or more required downtime intervals during which one or more restrictions are placed on the corresponding operator operating the freight vehicle; and selecting the dock for the freight vehicle, based, at least in part, on the time of arrival of other freight vehicles of the plurality of freight vehicles. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
