  • the transport trip is carried out starting from the starting point to a destination to be reached.

However, if the connection fails, the user may have driven for free or may need an alternative connection. It is a disadvantage here if the user is not offered an alternative route planning or requirement planning for the autonomously driving taxi.
  • DE 102018 106364 A1 discloses a multi-modal transport system in which a dispatching service generates an initial transport plan that contains a list of transport sections in which the transport takes place via one or more transport sections by means of an autonomous vehicle from an initially planned pick-up time.
  • DE 102018 109 162 A1 discloses a multi-modal transport management method. A transport request for a passenger is processed, with a starting point, a destination and vehicle information being identified. In doing so, a timetable is created which contains, for example, a vehicle segment and at least one additional segment. The journey of the passenger is monitored.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de vérification d'un trajet de transport d'un utilisateur (1), le trajet de transport étant réservé par l'utilisateur (1) au niveau d'un point de départ (SP) au moyen d'un système de gestion électronique (2), et le trajet de transport étant effectué du point de départ (SP) vers une destination (ZO) à atteindre. La réalisation planifiée d'une première partie d'itinéraire (4) du trajet de transport est effectuée à l'aide du véhicule à conduite autonome (3), il est prévu que la réalisation d'une seconde partie d'itinéraire (5) du trajet de transport est effectuée à l'aide d'un moyen de transport alternatif (6) vers le véhicule à conduite autonome (3). Au moyen du système de gestion électronique (2), il est vérifié si la réalisation de la seconde partie d'itinéraire (5) peut être effectuée à l'aide des moyens de transport alternatifs (6) au point de transfert (US), et si le moyen alternatif de transport (6) n'est pas disponible au point de transfert (US), le trajet de transport se poursuit vers la destination (ZO) au moyen du véhicule à conduite autonome (3). L'invention concerne également un système de gestion électronique (2).
