Abstract
An apparatus and method for communication with an intermodal terminal. The apparatus includes a processor configured receive a plurality of appointment datasets, aggregate the plurality of appointment datasets by synthesizing the plurality of data points to form an integrated terminal event dataset, populate a user interface data structure as a function of the aggregated plurality of appointment datasets, receive a user input, generate a terminal event handler as a function of the user input, and modify the user interface data structure by updating the integrated terminal event dataset.
Claims18

- wherein the apparatus comprises:
- at least a processor;
- and
- a memory communicatively connected to the at least a processor, wherein the memory contains instructions configuring the at least a processor to:
- receive a plurality of appointment datasets, wherein each appointment dataset of the plurality of appointment datasets comprises a plurality of data points describing a plurality of terminal events associated with at least an intermodal terminal;
- receive entity transport data;
- aggregate the plurality of appointment datasets by synthesizing the plurality of data points to form an integrated terminal event dataset;
- populate a user interface data structure as a function of the aggregated plurality of appointment datasets, wherein the user interface data structure comprises a visual representation of the integrated terminal event dataset;
- receive a user input from a user through the populated user interface data structure, wherein the user input comprises:
- a selection of a terminal event from the plurality of terminal events;
- and
- a plurality of corresponding event parameters;
- generate a terminal event handler as a function of the user input, wherein the terminal event handler is configured to:
- initiate a communication protocol with the respective intermodal terminal of the selected terminal event to convey the plurality of corresponding event parameters;
- and
- modify the user interface data structure by updating the integrated terminal event dataset as a function of the plurality of corresponding event parameters, wherein modifying the user interface data structure further comprises:
- modifying a plurality of windows in the user interface;
- utilizing a web crawler configured to scrape appointment confirmation data, real time updates related to appointments, and missed appointment data from the user interface;
- update entity transport data as a function of one or more of the appointment confirmation data, real time updates related to the appointments, and the missed appointment data;
- generate a plurality of recommended appointment times based on the user input, the updated entity transport data and the integrated terminal event dataset using a scheduling model by:
- receiving training data including a plurality of data sets correlating appointment data to the entity transport data;
- extracting constraints from the entity transport data;
- determining intermodal terminal capacity as a function of the constraints;
- updating the entity transport data as a function of real-time updates of the appointment data and the intermodal terminal capacity;
- optimizing the scheduling model during a training phase to minimize a difference between a previously entered recommended appointment time and an updated recommended appointment time;
- updating the training data as a function of user feedback and the optimization, wherein updating the training data further comprises:
- receiving the user feedback from the user interface associated with a quality of the plurality of recommended appointment times previously entered by the processor;
- and
- removing training data associated with a poorly rated output derived from the user feedback;
- iteratively training the scheduling model using the updated training data;
- and
- outputting, by the scheduling model, the updated recommended appointment time;
- and
- transmit the at least an updated recommended appointment time to the user via the user interface.
