Definitions
- the present invention relates to a door-to-door, private, mobile and connected inter-modal transport device.
- the invention also relates to a method of transporting a traveler using the device according to the invention.
- a person For a typical business trip (referring to Figure 2), a person must: go to the airport by taxi, public transport or car, travel to the airport to find a terminal or a ticket counter and register, go to the inspection post to carry out the security check, wait in a waiting room, go to the boarding gate, get on the plane, get to seat inside the plane.
- the plane lands, you must get off the plane, get out of the airport, find a taxi or rent a car and go to the place of business appointment. After the appointment, the person must repeat all these steps to go to his home or any other destination.
- the trip is choppy, and involves many inconveniences for the traveler generating fatigue, stress, loss of time and lost productivity compared to a sedentary day of work. Indeed, during such a trip, the only periods during which the traveler can take advantage of his waiting time to work or play are while he is patient before boarding and during a fraction of the flight, which does not represent only a small part of the total journey time. For example, for intra-European air travel, the traveler can only use 30% of the total journey time. For comparison, for a journey of similar duration, the solution of the high-speed train is less fragmented and returns, proportionally, more useful time to the user. Solutions to facilitate air travel have been proposed.
- An object of the present invention is to overcome these disadvantages by proposing a device to make the trip completely transparent to the traveler and to return to the latter the entire time of the trip so that he has at his leisure for his activities professional (telephone meetings, computer work %) and personal (rest, television, games ).
- this object is achieved by means of a door-to-door, private, mobile and connected intermodal transport device, able to accommodate the passenger, during the entire duration of his or her journey, door to door.
- the door-to-door transport device of a traveler according to the invention is remarkable in that it comprises:
- At least one private seat comprising a source of energy and means of connection, this seat being fixed on the platform; a connected virtual reality equipment capable of reconstituting a virtual environment for the traveler.
- this private and autonomous connectivity transport device makes it possible to create a virtual "bubble" for the traveler reconstituting a sedentary work and leisure environment, while being on the move.
- the virtual reality system is integrated and adjusted to the seat so as not to cause discomfort to the passenger even for a long time.
- the audio system of the virtual reality equipment is configured not to cause inconvenience to the environment of the traveler.
- the transport device according to the invention comprises a biometric identification system.
- the transport device comprises a locker for receiving the personal effects of the traveler.
- the luggage rack is disposed under the seat of the transport device seat according to the invention and is locked by the biometric identification system.
- the transport device according to the invention comprises a retractable footrest.
- the transport device comprises a plurality of seats to carry several passengers who would make the same trip at the same time.
- the transport device according to the invention comprises two platforms, one being intended for the transport of travelers, the other being intended for the transport of luggage of said travelers.
- the invention also relates to a method of transporting a traveler using the device according to the invention.
- the transport method according to the invention is remarkable in that it comprises the following steps: a) transporting the transport device according to the invention pre-loaded in a vehicle at the departure point of the traveler; b) identification of the traveler via the biometric system, placement of his luggage in the locker provided for this purpose, installation on the seat and activation by the traveler of the virtual reality system according to his wishes; (c) transportation of the device and the passenger to an airport; d) unloading the device and its passenger from the land vehicle, and conveying said device inside the airport to a waiting room; e) boarding the device and its passenger inside the aircraft, the platform being fixed in the aircraft in the manner of a pallet; f) landing, after landing, of the device and its passenger from the aircraft; g) Conveying in the airport and loading the device and its passenger in a land vehicle to be transported to the destination.
- the method of the invention has the advantage of making the trip completely transparent from the point of view of the traveler so that the latter can enjoy the entire travel time, as he sees fit.
- Figure 1 is a schematic view of a transport device according to the invention.
- Figure 2 is a time chart showing the program of a current business trip.
- Figure 3 is a timing diagram illustrating the program of a business trip with the use of a transport device according to the invention.
- the door-to-door transport device 1 of a traveler comprises:
- a virtual reality equipment 4 capable of reconstituting a virtual environment for the traveler.
- the platform 2 is equipped with means allowing its displacement on the ground when it is pushed by a person or under the effect of a device self propelled traction.
- the means 12 for moving the platform 2 are wheels or wheels.
- This platform 2 is configured to receive a seat 3, fixed permanently.
- the seat can also be removably attached, for example to facilitate maintenance operations.
- the private seat 3 comprises, in a conventional manner, a seat, a backrest, a headrest and armrests. It includes means to make it autonomous.
- the seat contains the essential elements to make it autonomous, namely a power source 5, for example a source of electrical energy such as a battery, and connectivity means 6, preferably wireless.
- the connected virtual reality equipment 4 consists of a visual headset 7 having a screen for displaying the virtual environment, and an audio system comprising an audio headset or headphones and a microphone, the latter being preferably configured so as not to disturb the traveler's environment.
- This virtual equipment is configured to offer the traveler a work or leisure environment, proposing, respectively, work tools or leisure.
- the traveler in its environment called “virtual office”, the traveler has a telephone, a computer, access to his mailbox ...
- the transport device is still equipped with a keyboard and it comprises connection means, for example wireless, allowing the passenger to connect his own work equipment such as a laptop or a laptop. USB key.
- the traveler can also monitor his environment with a so-called "virtual outside” space to monitor his real external environment via his virtual reality equipment. For example, via this space he can visualize the landscape off the plane, or to see the possibilities of services in his environment (such as toilets, possibility of restoration, ...) offered to him throughout the journey .
- the virtual reality system 4 is integrated in the seat 3, for example at the headrest of the latter, and is adjusted to said seat so as not to cause discomfort to the traveler, and this same for a long time.
- the transport device 1 comprises a biometric identification system 9 of the traveler.
- This biometric identification system for example integrated in the seat 3, makes it possible to register the traveler V and constitutes an identification system for said traveler to proceed automatically with the security checks at the airport.
- This biometric identification system 9 also serves to protect the traveler's connection data, for example by allowing access to the virtual reality equipment only to the traveler registered for that seat.
- the transport device according to the invention further comprises a rack 10 for receiving the personal effects of the traveler.
- the baggage locker is placed under the seat of the transport device seat according to the invention and is locked by the biometric identification system so that its contents are only accessible by the registered traveler V for this seat.
