- the present invention relates to an intelligent modernized improved transportation system and method thereof, and more particularly to an intelligent passenger and cargo transportation system and method thereof, which are transported by passengers with the aid of a telephone and telecommunications network computer application Goods, or other items that cannot be submitted electronically.
- the current transportation system is quite old, very expensive and extremely inefficient. Due to lack of resource planning, integration, sharing, management, joint and system control, a lot of resources are wasted. In terms of cost, sometimes the transportation cost is even higher than the value of the goods themselves.
- the transportation of passengers, cargo and/or any physical item is usually performed by an expensive and exclusive professional agent or company.
- USPS, UPS, FedEx, and other freight forwarders who provide professional cargo transportation services are required to employ highly paid employees and use expensive equipment, but the services provided are not available throughout the year. Passengers are transported by airlines, trains and passenger cars. These systems are also run by expensive professional service providers who hire highly paid employees. In the foreseeable future, due to the increasing cost, the above transportation costs will be more expensive.
- the car/truck sharing system is not a novel concept.
- the idea of sharing sharing is good, but most of them are only used to transport passengers/commuters who work in the local community.
- Current car sharing services have never been extended to larger scales, nor have domestic or international networks more suitable for managing passenger and cargo transportation.
- the present technology is based on the computer pooling of these travelers and available telecommunications infrastructure, establishing an intelligent transportation system for gathering information on the transport capabilities and availability of such independent travelers, and fully managing the demanders. Providing such demanders with the additional transport capabilities of these independent travellers to complete the function of delivering passengers and cargo.
- the solution of the present invention to solve the above problems is still a mythical thing ten or twenty years ago, because when the fashion has no internet access, and the coverage of the mobile phone wireless infrastructure is still extremely low, but in recent years, it is moving. After the communications industry has spent billions of dollars to improve the wireless communications infrastructure, the present invention will eventually become the most effective application of the mobile phone network, providing a novel and intelligent solution for passenger and cargo transportation systems.
- the invention provides an intelligent passenger and cargo transportation system, comprising:
- a telecommunications device for notifying and dispatching the independent traveler to pick up and deliver the passenger or the cargo in accordance with the planned route in accordance with the planned route;
- the transportation system delivers the passenger and the cargo by the independent traveler with the aid of the computer equipment and the telecommunications equipment.
- the independent traveler is an available and qualified commuter or non-professional courier company and is indeed prepared to travel between different locations.
- the service site is maintained by a centralized service provider capable of receiving, storing, and forwarding the passenger and the cargo.
- the centralized service provider accepts transportation requests from the passenger and the cargo owner, and then calculates an optimal route based on the available service site and the available and eligible traveler .
- the independent traveler's telecommunications equipment is a two-way wireless or wired telephone, a smart phone, a tablet, a computer.
- the service site is a fixed, temporary or mobile location within the coverage of the telecommunications service.
- the transport capacity of the independent traveler is the driver or passenger of the transport device.
- the computer device is planned to be replaced by a professional courier company to replace the independent traveler.
- the computer device is planned to be replaced by a professional courier company to replace the independent traveler.
- the computer device is planned to be replaced by a professional courier company to replace the independent traveler.
- the present invention also provides a method of intelligent passenger and cargo transportation system comprising the following steps:
- the independent traveler delivers the passenger and the cargo with the aid of the computer device and the telecommunications device.
- the independent traveler is an available and qualified commuter or non-professional courier company and is indeed prepared to travel between different locations.

- the transport system of the present invention comprises the following:
- Cargo, cargo or parcels/packets can be of various sizes, shapes, weights and values, depending on the environment, time, perishability, danger, legality, sensitivity, safety and all other issues. It can be considered that many goods are very bulky but not very valuable.
- Passengers Transporting passengers is much more complicated than transporting goods. Seats, food, water, toilets, air conditioning/heating, and even emergency medical care must be provided.
- Cargo container A standard size reusable durable container with electronic or mechanical locks is preferred.
- Service sites ie unloading and pick-up sites: These service sites are preferably located near densely populated commercial areas, such as gas stations, convenience stores, pharmacies, supermarkets, highway rest areas, fast food restaurants, shopping centers, and There are plenty of parking spaces and not far from the stop, stop or drop off. In an emergency, the traveler can meet at any desired location to unload and pick up the goods. Standard sites do not require high operating costs and can be authorized to join, back-load or sole proprietorship, and can be managed by any company number.
- Sites can be manually managed or automatically managed to receive, store and transfer passengers and goods.
- Independent traveler Independent travellers can be professional or non-professional. If you are a non-professional or non-exclusive traveler, you must be qualified and trained beforehand.
- the independent traveler may be a member of a particular shopping, car, travel or special interest club, just in need of routine or random use of transportation equipment to form a separate journey to and from different locations, and may receive and deliver goods or passengers as directed.
- the independent traveler is not liable for legal liability related to the content and safety of the goods.
- Transport equipment hiking, bicycles, motorcycles, cars, trucks, passenger cars, trains, boats and aircraft; any tool that can be used by the independent traveler as a means of transport.
- the computer is responsible for establishing and managing the database of shipper, independent traveler and service site information.
- the same computer can be located and notified to the available independent traveler. Charged by the selected independent traveler and transferred.
- the shipper and the recipient can track the location of the goods via the computer system.
- the shipper is the owner of a cargo or a passenger.
- the shipper delivers the goods (or their own) to the above service station, finds the appropriate container, seals, stores it, and waits for the selected independence. When the traveler comes to collect it, it is sent to the destination service site or the final recipient location.
- Telecommunications infrastructure Wireless networks are preferred and must cover the range of individual traveler routes.
- Traveler's telecommunications equipment or PCD Personal Communication Device: Independent travellers must have a mobile phone, and the mobile phone must have sufficient power to access data and GPS (Global Positioning System) in order to log in to a host computer for charging And handing over the delivery of the goods.
- GPS Global Positioning System
- Existing passenger and cargo transportation systems can only employ dedicated professional drivers, crew or pilots to deliver goods using exclusive transportation equipment.
- the present invention is designed for non-professional independent travellers to utilize any available transportation equipment to deliver cargo and passengers.
- the computerized database network collects information about non-professional independent travellers and uses mobile phone wireless technology to notify these independent travelers to pick up the goods at the service site and ship them to the designated service site (or address).
- FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an existing transportation system (prior art) employing a distribution center showing how the prior art transports passengers and cargo through a "distribution center" guidance system.
- a distribution center For example, to ship items from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, all goods and passengers are sent to nearby service stations 101-106. The goods and passengers are then sent to the main “distribution center”, such as the Los Angeles Distribution Center 100, and then sent to the Barstot Distribution Center 200, and then sent to the Las Vegas Distribution Center 300, and then dispersed. Delivered to each destination service site 301-305.
- This distribution center system is very similar to the "circuit-switched network" that the telephone company has been using for the past 100 years and has been eliminated in recent years due to the birth of the "network-switched” technology.
- the telephone company has a central office (CO) in the service area. All telephone lines are routed from the user to the central office and then to another central office or other local user. In the old-fashioned connection system, even if the calls from neighbors are transferred through the central office, and once the central office has problems, the entire system will collapse, so this method is costly and easily damaged and has been eliminated.
- the existing system will request the initiating service site 105 to forward the shipment to the primary distribution center of the Los Angeles distribution center 100. It is then sent to the Barstot Distribution Center 200 and finally to the service stations 201 and 202 that it is expected to be sent to. If there is an independent traveler available between the service site 105 and the expected service site 201, 202, there is no need to go to the two distribution centers 100, 200, which can save gasoline, time, road congestion, and will not pollute. air.
- FIG 2 is a detailed schematic view of the "last and initial" station of the transport shown in Figure 1, showing the "last mile” of the system of Figure 1.
- the service requirements for passengers or goods are sites 701-705 as the starting point for the journey.
- the goods can be delivered to the post office or UPS; for passengers, Passengers are waiting at the passenger station and then transported to the main distribution center (such as the Los Angeles Distribution Center 100, such as Los Angeles Airport (LAX)).
- the main distribution center 100 such as the Los Angeles Distribution Center 100, such as Los Angeles Airport (LAX)
- the professional carrier such as the airline, continues to deliver passengers or items to the destination, and may or may not pass through another city (transit).
- Fig. 3 is a schematic view showing a transportation system in which the present invention combines the distribution center and the non-distribution center delivery, showing the system of the present invention, particularly omitting some of the collection centers.
- Many independent travelers are always on the road, in the air or at any point in the water. Independent travellers are on call to prepare for the task of carrying passengers or cargo.
- the computer searches for nearby service sites and available independent traveler (or commuter) databases based on shipping information (such as start point, destination, weight, etc.).
- the service requirement is that the goods owner wants to send the package from Los Angeles to somewhere in Las Vegas, so the route is calculated via the computer and the service site 106 is positioned as the starting service site for the departure. And another service site is located as the destination service site 305.
- the computer finds an independent traveler A who has an independent journey from the starting service site 106 to the mid-stop service site Barstot Center 200.
- the computer sends a wireless text message/email/voice message to the independent traveler A, notifying the person to the originating service site 106 to collect the package and delivering it to the mid-way Barstot Distribution Center 200 service site.
- the computer finds an independent traveler B to go from the Barstot distribution center 200 to the Las Vegas distribution center 300. The computer then notifies the independent traveler B to pick up the parcel from the midway service station Barstot Distribution Center 200 and send it to the service site of the Las Vegas Distribution Center 300.
- the system also requires the independent traveler C to complete the final journey, that is, to the service site of the Las Vegas Distribution Center 300) to collect the goods and deliver them to the destination closest to the destination destination service sites 301-305.
- the computer can notify the recipient to pick up the goods at the destination service sites 301-305, or arrange for another local independent traveler D to pick up the goods and complete the "last mile". Send to the recipient's location.
- this transport network which is based in particular on an independent traveler, is extremely flexible, if the original independent traveler cannot be used due to an emergency, a vehicle breakdown, an independent traveler needs a break or an accident, or for any reason. Delivery, there may be other thousands of independent travelers nearby who will travel to the same location and can be assisted by them. If the transportation of passengers or goods is interrupted on the way, the neighboring independent travelers can go to the merger to indicate their identity and make the non-original service station become the service station for emergency stop and pick-up. As an alternative independent traveler, continue to deliver passengers and cargo to the next service site. In the case of a professional transportation service, in the event of a truck failure, the driver must ask the company to send a support truck. Support trucks are sometimes hundreds of miles away, and they have to be lucky enough to get back on track, and more shippers are affected by service delays.
- FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing a transportation system for delivery without a distribution center of the present invention, showing direct transportation from a service site 106 to a destination service site 305 close to the recipient, without having to travel through all intermediate distribution centers such as Los Angeles.
- Examples of service sites such as the distribution center 100 service site, the service site of the Barstot distribution center 200, and the Las Vegas distribution center 300. This example can save a lot of time on goods compared to the UPS or FedEx pipes we currently use.
- the system of the invention does not require much cost.
- An independent traveler may arrive at another destination service site 305 in any manner after visiting the proximity service site 106.
- Standard cars weigh 3,000-5,000 pounds, so adding a 200-pound item will only add less than 5% of fuel consumption. Since the car is one of the worst sources of pollution for humans, the system of the present invention contributes to a significant improvement in road traffic congestion and also saves a lot of energy.
- Figure 5 is a flow chart showing the transportation system of the present invention, from the service request to the reception of the item, which illustrates the operation of the centralized computer system of the present invention.
- the computer system must have a transport service network ready 500, and a shipper can request a package delivery service from Los Angeles to Las Vegas to the transportation service network. It can be electronically sent via the Internet Service website that has completed the delivery service request to the service request 501, either by telephone verbally or directly to a service site (eg, service site 106).
- a service site eg, service site 106
- the computer Upon receipt of the service request, the computer will search and calculate based on the site and available independent travelers to confirm the presence or absence of the proximity service site 502 and search for the best route from Los Angeles to Las Vegas.
- step 503 of the site search if a nearby service site that can provide a service is found, the computer will ask the shipper to go to the service site 106 and unload the package at the service site, which is to discover the site and discharge it. Cargo step 504. If no suitable service site is found, the computer will tell the shipper service site that it is unable to provide 505, terminate the request or advise the shipper to travel to other professional courier companies.
- the computer will look for a local independent traveler or The driver collects the goods from the shipper, and there is a step 508 to send the driver to pick up the goods, so that the starting service station 106 can smoothly obtain the package consigned by the shipper, that is, the step of obtaining the goods 509.
- Figure 6 is a flow diagram showing the delivery of the system of the present invention, from station to station, illustrating the operation of the system software and hardware of the present invention.
- the package is stored at the service site 106.
- the computer performs a search or calculation of the presence or absence of the next service site 602 step and confirms the presence or absence of a database of available independent travelers 603.
- the step 604 if the computer is found, if the computer finds a suitable service site and an independent traveler, the 605 step is found for the independent traveler.
- the computer then informs the independent traveler to pick up the goods at the site, which is the step of instructing the independent traveler to collect the goods 606.
- the independent traveler After the independent traveler obtains the parcel, the independent traveler transports 607 step, and the goods are sent to the next service station, which is the step of the goods delivery service station 613. Conversely, if the computer cannot find any independent traveler or service site 608 available for use in the 604 step, the computer will wait for the urgency of the package shipment. If the shipper is not in a hurry, he will look for an independent traveller after the time has passed. 609, after the step of allowing the independent traveler time delay 612, re-search or calculate the presence or absence of the next service site 602 until the available independent traveler is found.
- the computer will notify the regular professional driver 610 to change the parcel to the professional courier company and ship it to the next service station 613 to complete a professional transport 611.
- the computer will immediately confirm if it is the final site 614. If so, the package will be sent directly to the service site, i.e., the goods are delivered to the destination service site 616. If it is not the end point, the parcel will perform a step 615 of temporarily storing the goods, and the computer will continue to search for the next independent traveler and the next service station until the parcel reaches the final service site.
- the passenger or cargo receiving, storing and transferring operations of all service stations of the present invention can be manually managed or automatically managed; the shipper, the recipient and the passenger can be saved in cost and convenience. Its advantages include:
- the transportation volume is larger and faster, because the addition of a large number of independent travelers can greatly increase the available transportation capacity and relatively improve the overall transportation efficiency;
- the cost can be lower because the transportation system of the present invention is a traveler's accessory product built on the travel planning path that is already necessary;
- the intelligent transportation system of the present invention is faster, more flexible, more reliable, safer, less expensive, more fuel efficient, and environmentally friendly, while helping to improve road traffic congestion and create profit for independent travelers. Like all regular transportation systems or companies, this system is also at risk. However, just like all current professional transportation services, all participating sites and travelers are qualified and do not have to be legally responsible for the content and safety of the goods. All goods are insured. And overall, this novel smart infrastructure transport is ideal for items that cannot be delivered electronically. In short, the present invention creates a novel supply and demand network for an intelligent energy-saving and environmentally-friendly transportation system before the myth of "space-to-air" has not been realized.

Abstract
一种智能乘客与货物运输***,包括多个服务站点、多个独立旅行者、电脑设备及电信设备,由独立旅行者运用其现有海、路、空运输设备的有效载重能力来接取、载运、转送、分程传递并递交货物及乘客。该***由管理者指定接收、存放及转送物品的站点地点,运算及计算路线和费用,同时维护电信网络,派遣可利用且符合资格的独立旅行者,在被要求时间前往要求地点卸放或收取乘客和货物,将乘客和货物从来源处运送到目的地,以达到快速、灵活、可靠、成本低廉、能源效率高且环保的运输。还公开一种智能乘客与货物运输的方法。
Description
本发明是关于智能现代化改良运输***及其方法,尤其关于一种智能乘客与货物运输***及其方法,此***及方法是由旅行者在电话及电信网络电脑应用程序的辅助下,运输乘客及货物,或其他无法以电子方式递交的物品。
目前的运输***相当老旧、十分昂贵且极度欠缺效率,由于缺乏资源规划、汇整、共用、管理、联合及***控制,导致大量资源徒然浪费。在成本方面,有时运输成本甚至会远高于运送货物本身的价值。此外,就乘客、货物及/或任何实体项目的运送方面,通常是委由昂贵的专属专业代理商或公司执行。例如,在美国,负责提供专业货物运输服务的美国邮政、UPS、FedEx及其他货运业者,均需聘用薪资高昂的员工及,使用昂贵设备,但所提供的服务并非全年全日无休。乘客则是由航空公司、火车及客运车专业运送,这些***也都是由昂贵的专业服务提供者聘请薪资高昂的员工来维持运作。这在可见的未来,由于成本不断提高,将使得上述的运送花费更为高昂。
但如众所周知般,无论路上、水上或空中,在任何时刻中,都还有数百万独立旅行者使用自有运输设备在移动,他们消耗更多燃料,对我们的环境造成更多污染。这些旅行者,若使用汽车作为移动工具,则汽车的重量大约为3000至5000磅,仅承载重量不到200磅的该单一旅行者,确实是人类对于能量、时间、金钱和资源的最严重浪费,同时大幅度地破坏们的环境。
汽车/货车共用***并不是新奇的概念,分享共用的想法很好,但多数仅使用于运输在当地社区来往上班的乘客/通勤者。目前的汽车共用服务从未延伸到更大的规模,也从未建立更适合用于管理乘客及货物运输的国内或国际网络。
从以上所述,可以发现大多数的独立旅行者无疑拥有较一般载行工具,具备有更多额外运输货物的能力。因此,本发明技术是以电脑汇集这些旅行者和可用电信基础设施为基础,建立一套智能运输***,用以汇集该等独立旅行者的运输能力及可利用性的资讯,再充分管理需求者,为该等需求者提供善用该等独立旅行者的额外运输能力,以完成递送乘客及货物的功能。
本发明用以解决上述问题的方案,在十几二十年前仍是天方夜谭,因为当时尚无网际网络存取,且移动电话无线基础设施的涵盖率仍极低,但近年来在移动通信业者斥资数十亿美元完善无线通信基础设施之后,本发明终能就绪,将成为移动电话网络的最有效应用,提供一种新颖智能的乘客与货物运输***的解决方案。
发明内容
我们的电信输送***(递送数字数据)的***已有大幅改进,但运输有形物品或人员的***却非如此。本案发明人思及,若一般旅行者能够充分利用上述独立旅行者所存在的额外运输能力,将能为现有乘客与货物运输量能带来大幅的改善。

本发明模拟电脑与电信数据网络,在分封交换数据网络中提供“分封交换资料”的方式,提供在所有现有运输网络中,由独立旅行者将“乘客与货物”当成数据封包加以运送的运输***。
本发明的该运输***包含以下:
货物:货物、船货或包裹/小包可为各种尺寸、形状、重量及价值,经环境、时间、易腐性、危险性、合法性、敏感性、安全性及其他所有问题的相关考量,可要考量到许多货物非常笨重但价值不高。
乘客:运送乘客较运送货物复杂得多。必须提供座位、食物、饮水、厕所、空调/暖气,甚至是紧急医疗。
货物容器:以附有电子或机械锁具的标准大小可重复使用耐用容器为优选。
服务站点,即卸货与取货站点:这些服务站点较佳的是位置邻近人口稠密的商业区,例如加油站、便利商店、药房、超市、高速公路休息区、速食店、购物中心,宜备有大量停车位且距离旅行者停车、停船或降落之处不远。在紧急情况下,旅行者可在任何其所希望的地点会合以卸货、取货。标准站点不需高昂营运成本,可为授权加盟、背载或独资经营,且可由任何公司行号管理。
站点管理:站点可为人工管理或自动管理仓库,用来接收、存放并转送乘客和货物。
独立旅行者:独立旅行者可为专业或非专业人士。若为非专业人士或非专属旅行者,则需事先经过资格确认并给予训练。该独立旅行者可为特定购物、汽车、旅行或特殊兴趣俱乐部的会员,恰好需要进行例行或随机利用运输设备往返不同地点而形成一独立旅程,且可依据指示收取并递送货物或乘客。该独立旅行者不需承担与货物内容及安全性相关的法律责任。
运输设备:徒步、脚踏车、摩托车、汽车、卡车、客运车、火车、船只以及飞机;任何一种可供该独立旅行者运用为运输方式的工具。
主控电脑、服务器及线上网站存取权限:电脑用以负责建立及管理托运人、独立旅行者及服务站点信息的资料库。当托运人有货物需要从一个可用的服务站点递送时,同过该电脑可以定位并通知可利用的独立旅行者。由获选的独立旅行者收取并转送货物。托运人及收件人可经由该电脑***追踪货物所在位置。
托运人:托运人是一件货物的物主或是一位乘客,托运人将货物(或其本人)送至上述服务站点,找到适当的容器,封箱,存放,并等候该获选的独立旅行者前来收取后,送往目的地服务站点或最终收件人地点。
电信基础设施:以无线网络为优选,而且必须涵盖各独立旅行者路线的范围。具有GPS功能的智能手机搭配移动应用程序,能够有效追踪并报告货物位置。
旅行者的电信设备或PCD(个人通信装置):独立旅行者必须备有移动电话,且移动电话必须电力充足,能够存取数据及GPS(全球定位***),以便登入一主控电脑以执行收取和递交货物的作业。
现有乘客与货物运输***只能雇用专属职业驾驶人、船员或飞行员,运用专属运输设备来递送货物。本发明则是设计供非专业的独立旅行者,利用任何可用的运输设备来递送货物和乘客。电脑化数据库网络会收集有关非专业的独立旅行者的信息,并利用移动电话无线技术,通知这些独立旅行者前往服务站点收取货物,并将之运送至指定服务站点(或地址)。
图1是采用集散中心的现有运输***(先前技术)示意图,显示现有技术是如何通过“集散中心”导向***来运输乘客和货物。例如,要将物品从洛杉矶运送至拉斯维加斯,所有的货物和乘客要被送交到各附近的服务站点101~106。然后上述货物和乘客被送往主要“集散中心”例如洛杉矶集散中心100集合,接着一起送往巴斯托集散中心200,然后再一并送往拉斯维加斯集散中心300,最后才会分散送抵各目的地服务站点301~305。
此集散中心***十分类似于电话公司在过去百年一直使用,且近年才因网际网络“分封交换”技术诞生而淘汰的“电路交换网络”。电话公司在服务地区设有中央办公室(CO)。所有电话线路都是从用户通往中央办公室,然后在通往另一中央办公室或其他当地用户。在旧式连线***中,即使邻居打来的电话也要通过中央办公室转接,而且一旦中央办公室发生问题,整个***都会崩溃,所以这种方式成本高昂且容易受损,现已淘汰。
请注意,在图1中从一起始服务站点105到一期待的服务站点201、202的旅途中,现有***会要求起始服务站点105先行将被运送物送往主要集散的洛杉矶集散中心100后再送往巴斯托集散中心200,最后再送往期待送往的服务站点201、202。如果在服务站点105至期待的服务站点201、202之间有可用独立旅行者,就没有必要再途经前往上述两个集散中心100、200,如此可以节省汽油、时间、道路拥塞,而且不会污染空气。
图2是在图1中所示的运输“最后及最初”一站的详细示意图,显示图1所示***的“最后一英里”。乘客或货物的服务要求站点701~705为旅程起点。如此,以现有技术运送包裹时,我们必须将乘客或货物由该服务要求站点701~705送往当地起始服务站点106,例如货物可交寄给邮局或UPS;若为乘客,则可前往客运站等车,然后被载运集合到主要集散中心(例如洛杉矶集散中心100,例如洛杉矶机场(LAX))。从该主要
集散中心100,再由专业运送人,例如航空公司,继续将乘客或物品送至目的地,途中可能行经或不行经另一城市(转机)。
图3是表示本发明将集散中心及无集散中心递送结合运用的运输***示意图,显示本发明***,特别是省略一些集散中心。许多独立旅行者随时在路上、空中或水上中的任一点。独立旅行者随时待命准备接受载送乘客或货物的任务。一旦服务要求抵达电脑的服务器,电脑就会依据货运信息(例如起点、终点、重量等等),搜寻邻近服务站点及可用独立旅行者(或通勤者)资料库。在图3所示案例中,服务要求是货物物主想要将包裹从洛杉矶送至拉斯维加斯某处,所以经由电脑计算路线,并将服务站点106定位为出发的起始服务站点,且将另一服务站点定位为目的地服务站点305。藉由搜寻可用独立旅行者资料库,该电脑找到一位既有独立旅程将要从出发的起始服务站点106到一中途服务站点巴斯托集散中心200的独立旅行者A。该电脑发送无线文字信息/电子邮件/语音信息给该独立旅行者A,通知此人前往起始服务站点106收取包裹,并将之递送至中途的巴斯托集散中心200服务站点。待包裹抵达该中途服务站点巴斯托集散中心200后,电脑又找到要从巴斯托集散中心200到拉斯维加斯集散中心300的独立旅行者B。电脑再通知该独立旅行者B到该中途服务站点巴斯托集散中心200收取包裹,并将之送往拉斯维加斯集散中心300的服务站点。***也要求独立旅行者C来完成最后一程,即到拉斯维加斯集散中心300的服务站点)收取货物并送至目的地的最接近收件人目的地服务站点301~305。在该目的地服务站点301~305,电脑可通知收件人前往该等目的地服务站点301~305领货,或是安排另一位当地独立旅行者D取货后完成“最后一英里”,送到收件人所在处。
值得一提的是这种特别以独立旅行者为基础的运输网络,具有极大灵活性,若因紧急事件、车辆故障、独立旅行者需要休息或意外,或任何理由导致原来的独立旅行者无法递送,附近可能还有其他成千上万名独立旅行者会前往相同地点,可由其接手协助。若乘客或货物的运送在途中因故中断,邻近的独立旅行者接获紧急呼叫后,可前往会合并表明自己身份,让非原始设定的服务站点成为紧急停靠暨接货的服务站点,并担任替代的独立旅行者,继续将乘客及货物递送至下一服务站点。而专业运输服务若遇货车故障,驾驶人必须要求公司另派支援卡车。支援卡车有时远在百英里之外,要运气够好旅程才能回归正轨,而且有更多托运人都会受到服务延误的影响。
图4是表示本发明无集散中心递送的运输***示意图,显示从一服务站点106直接运输至接近收件人的目的地服务站点305,而不需再行经中间所有集散中心例如洛杉矶
集散中心100服务站点、巴斯托集散中心200的服务站点及拉斯维加斯集散中心300等服务站点的范例。相较于我们目前使用的UPS或FedEx管道,此一范例可大幅节省货物运送时间。
本发明***不须增加太多成本。独立旅行者前往邻近服务站点106后可以任何方式到达另一目的地服务站点305。标准汽车重量3,000-5,000磅,所以另加一件200磅的货物只会增加不到5%的燃油消耗。由于汽车是人类最糟糕的污染源之一,本发明***有助于大幅改善路面交通拥塞情形,也能够节省大量能源。
图5是表示本发明的运输***,从要求服务到接收项目的流程图,该流程图说明本发明的中央化电脑***的运作方式。首先该电脑***必须让一运输服务网络就绪500,一位托运人可以对该运输服务网络发起从洛杉矶到拉斯维加斯的包裹运送服务的要求。其可以电子方式经由已完成运送服务准备的网际网络网站发送服务要求501,或是经由电话口头要求,或是直接前往一服务站点(例如服务站点106)提出要求。接获服务要求后,电脑会依据其所属站点及可用独立旅行者搜寻并计算以确认有无邻近服务站点502,并搜寻从洛杉矶到拉斯维加斯的最佳路线。在站点有无寻得503步骤中,若有找到可提供服务的邻近服务站点,电脑会要求托运人前往该服务站点106,并将包裹卸放于此服务站点,此即为发现站点并卸放货物504步骤。如果没有寻找到适合的服务站点,电脑会告诉托运人服务站点无法提供利用505,终止要求或建议托运人前往其他专业快递公司。在有无需要卸放或收取货物506步骤,托运人如果可以亲自送来货物,一等待卸放货物507步骤,如果托运人无法亲自到站点卸放货物,电脑会找寻一位当地独立旅行者或驾驶人来托运人处收取货物,而有一派出驾驶人取货508步骤,以利起始服务站点106可以顺利取得托运人交托的包裹,即取得货物509步骤。
图6是表示本发明所建议的运输***,从站到站递送的流程图,该流程图说明本发明的***软件及硬件的运作方式。在取得货物509步骤,包裹存放在服务站点106。电脑即进行一搜寻或计算有无所属的下一服务站点602步骤及确认邻近有无可用独立旅行者603的资料库。在是否发现604步骤中,电脑若发现有适合的服务站点和独立旅行者,为发现独立旅行者605步骤。电脑接着通知该名独立旅行者到站点收取货物,即为通知独立旅行者收取货物606步骤。独立旅行者取得包裹后,即进行独立旅行者运输607步骤,将货物送往下一服务站点,即为货物送达服务站点613步骤。相反的,若在是否发现604步骤中,电脑无法找到任何有供利用的独立旅行者或服务站点608时,电脑会依据包裹运输的紧急性等候。如果托运人不赶时间,就会在找寻独立旅行者逾时后
609,在允许独立旅行者时间延迟612步骤后,再度进行搜寻或计算有无所属的下一服务站点602,直到找到可用独立旅行者为止。如果包裹必须紧急送达,电脑会进行通知正规专业驾驶人610步骤,改以专业快递公司前来收取包裹,并将之运送至下一服务站点613,而完成一专业运输611。包裹抵达下一服务站点613之后,电脑会立即确认此处是否为最终站点614。如果是,包裹会直接仅送往该服务站点为止,即货物送达目的地服务站点616步骤。如果不是终点,包裹即会进行一货物暂时存放货物615步骤,且电脑会再持续搜寻下一独立旅行者及下一服务站点,直到包裹送达到最终服务站点为止。
综上所述,本发明的所有服务站点的乘客或货物接收、存放及转送作业可由人工管理或自动管理;可以为托运人、收件人及乘客节省成本,并增加方便性的。其优点包括:
运输量更大、更快速,因为大量独立旅行者的加入,能够大幅增加可利用的运输能力,相对能提高总体运输效率;
应用更容易,因为当许多独立旅行者参与的服务地点都可轻松设置为站点,身在各地的独立旅行者都可受召收取、运送并递交货物;
提供服务站点附近可发展更多生意,因为旅行者会需要汽油、食物、服务;
费用可以更低廉,因为本发明的运输***是建立在已经必要进行的旅行规划路径的旅行者附带产品;
全年全日皆可利用,因为随时都有独立旅行者前往各处,而专业货运公司则受服务时间及既定路径的限制;
极具效率,因为不需要专属旅行者,独立旅行者也不需要像专业货运司机一样停靠所有集散中心;
环保节能,减少我们呼吸空气中的雾霾,减少碳足迹,并减缓全球暖化;
减少公路、干道及快速道路的交通拥塞情形;
参与的独立旅行者及服务提供者可藉此获利;
可配合建立的运输***作为救援或后备的用途;
提高安全性及隐私性,因为托运人或收件人可前往自动化或人员管理站点收放包裹。对应用的旅行者而言,可减少被强盗或劫持的可能;
旅行者与旅行者之间,于旅程中碰到紧急事件、意外或任何其他麻烦时,更可能伸予援手,帮助并照顾对方。
因此,本发明智能运输***更快速、极灵活、更可靠、更安全、成本低廉、极具燃油效率且环保,同时有助于改善路面交通拥塞并为独立旅行者创造获利。就像所有正规运输***或公司一样,此***也有风险存在。然而,也正如同目前所有专业运输服务一样,所有参与的站点和旅行者都经过资格确认,且不需为货物内容及安全单负法律责任。所有货物都可保险。且整体而言,这种新颖的智能基础设施运输非常适合无法使用电子方式递送的物品。简言之,本发明是在“隔空传物”的神话尚未能够实现前,开创一种智能节能环保运输***的新颖供需网络。
