Abstract

See full text

Data processing systems and methods for recommending vehicles for transporting defined sets of items such as furniture or other property. A user interface allows a user to define characteristics of a transport load. Characteristics include, for example, volume, weight, and quantity of items to be loaded. Defined load characteristics are used in conjunction with additional factors such as, for example, local vehicle availability and/or predicted user packing efficiency, by the data processing system to determine a recommended vehicle or vehicle capacity, and to designate a preferred vehicle from an available inventory. Optionally items may be designated as constituting part of a vehicle load through user selection of system-defined or user-defined graphical representations of the items through using a computer interface controller, and 'dragging and dropping' into a load designation field on a graphical interface.
