Smarter Inland Destination ETAs for the US and Canada
For rail customers, Terminal49 now provides two new capabilities for containers moving by rail to inland destinations across the US and Canada:
-
T49 Inland Destination ETAs. Our machine learning model generates a predicted arrival time for every container as soon as it departs the port on rail. This brings coverage from 91% to ~99% - nearly every container gets an ETA at port departure, even when neither the shipping line nor the rail carrier has provided one yet.
-
Intelligent ETA source selection. Multiple ETA sources arrive over time - our T49 prediction, rail carrier updates, and shipping line estimates. Rather than simply using the most recent estimate, our ML-based source selection model evaluates all available ETAs and promotes the one most likely to be accurate. As the container moves closer to its destination and more data arrives, the model continuously re-evaluates.
