Data analysis for selecting container with integrated energy source based on predicted transport energy usage

A system of facilitating product transport, the system comprising:

• a memory;
• one or more processors in communication with the memory;
• and
• program instructions executable by the one or more processors via the memory to perform a method, the method comprising:
• obtaining, by the one or more processors, data related to a planned transport event;
• analyzing, by the one or more processors, the data to predict energy usage of a transport vehicle in performing the planned transport event, including transporting one or more transport containers;
• determining, by the one or more processors, based at least in part on the predicted energy usage, an energy source size for a transport container of the one or more transport containers to be transported by the transport vehicle;
• and
• determining, by the one or more processors, whether the transport vehicle is to proceed with the planned transport event of transporting the one or more transport containers, the determining whether to proceed being based, at least in part, on the processor(s) determining that an energy source of the determined energy source size is integrated within the transport container, the integrated energy source being adapted in the container to contribute energy to the transport vehicle with the transport container positioned within the transport vehicle for transport.

A computer program product comprising:

• a computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable code embodied therein, the computer-readable code being executable by one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to:
• obtain, by the one or more processors, data related to a planned transport event;
• analyze, by the one or more processors, the data to predict energy usage of a transport vehicle in performing the planned transport event, including transporting one or more transport containers;
• determine, by the one or more processors, based at least in part on the predicted energy usage, an energy source size for a transport container of the one or more transport containers to be transported by the transport vehicle;
• and
• determine, by the one or more processors, whether the transport vehicle is to proceed with the planned transport event of transporting the one or more transport containers, the determining whether to proceed being based, at least in part, on the processor(s) determining that an energy source of the determined energy source size is integrated within the transport container, the integrated energy source being adapted in the container to contribute energy to the transport vehicle with the transport container positioned within the transport vehicle for transport.
