METHOD AND TRANSPORT CONTROL NODE FOR TRANSPORTATION OF PACKAGE

摘要

A method and transport control node (104) for transportation of a package (100) to an addressee from a first vehicle stop (102). When the package is received from a sender, a second vehicle stop (110) is identified for delivery of the package based on delivery information on the package. A transport route (106) is then determined to be travelled by the package in order to reach the second vehicle stop (110), and a public transport vehicle (108) driving on a predefined route that includes the first vehicle stop (102) and at least a first part of the transport route (106), is also identified. The package is then loaded on the public transport vehicle (108) at the first vehicle stop (102) for transportation on the transport route (106) towards the second vehicle stop (110). Thereby, the package can be delivered to its addressee without using a conventional post service which is typically time-consuming and/or costly.
