System and Method for Allowing Delivery Vehicle to Deliver In Resident Lanes With Windshield Mounted RFID Transponder or Optical Character Recognition

摘要

A delivery method and system allows a delivery vehicle to deliver in resident lanes. A delivery provider selects a delivery vehicle to perform the delivery. The delivery vehicle has a mounted transponder that emits a unique identifying signal to a reader at the resident lane. The reader may also be operable to capture an image of the license plate of the vehicle for identification. The delivery provider relays the identifying signal of the delivery vehicle to a data storage. During delivery, the vehicle engages a resident lane in the community. The reader at the resident lane identifies the identifying signal emitting from the transponder or the captured image. The reader communicates with the transponder. Depending on the identifying signal emitted from the transponder, the reader can grant the vehicle access for one-time entry through the resident lane unique. The one time entry can be resubmitted for subsequent deliveries.
