The disclosure provides a system and method of delivering packages. The system may include a plurality of land vehicles that transport a plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to locations within a distance of delivery destinations. The system may determine, based on a number of packages to be delivered to destinations in a geographical area, a number of land vehicles to carry the packages to within a UAV round-trip range of each of the destinations. The system may allocate the number of packages to the number of land vehicles. The system may determine a route for each land vehicle that brings the land vehicle within the UAV round-trip range of each destination. The system may dispatch the UAVs carrying the packages from the land vehicle at dispatch locations along the respective route.

An embodiment of the invention may include a method, computer program product and computer system for managing mobile objects. The embodiment may identify, by an event agent (EA), an event occurring in a geographic space in which a plurality of mobile objects move. The embodiment may determine the event is an expected event based on predicting time-series changes of the event handled by the EA. The embodiment may manage, by a predictive environment agent (PEA), the expected event.

In one example embodiment, a computer-implemented method for managing available capacity at a location for receiving an asset includes obtaining data indicative of one or more first assets that will arrive at a first location within a first transfer hub at an arrival time, the one or more first assets being associated with a first service provider. The method includes determining an available capacity at the first location within the first transfer hub for receiving the one or more first assets at the arrival time. The method includes moving one or more second assets positioned at the first location to a second location within the first transfer hub to increase the available capacity at the first location for receiving the one or more first assets at the arrival time.

A system includes a plurality of at least partially autonomous vehicles, a plurality of interconnected roadways having a plurality of track segments, and embarkation area, and a control system. The roadways preferably have at least partially separated lanes and the roadways are optionally grade separated. The embarkation area includes a plurality of embarkation slots where passengers can board the vehicles. The embarkation area is connected to at least one of the plurality of track segments, allowing the vehicles to travel to and from the embarkation area to the at least one of the plurality of track segments. The control system is configured to coordinate a continuous flow of the plurality of vehicles on the track segments. Groups of vehicles depart from the embarkation area to the at least one of the plurality of track segments in coordinated groups.

The present invention defines and constructs an Internet of Things-based transportation shuttle and shuttle traffic system (STS), which relate to the technical field of transportation, transportation devices and traffic systems. Transportation shuttles, shuttles integrated STS, risk separation, separation of operation and control, joint intelligent control, de-consolidation de-identification de-signal lights, full interchange, standard modules, stations/stops insertion, seamless connection, fully enclosed 24/7 in all weathers, unlimited speed, driverless, one-stop arrival, online parking, priority/concession handling, and intelligent control linkage for the real-time monitoring of shuttles, automatic control and optimization of routes, resource utilization and system balance and other solutions are used to ensure the safe, efficient and optimal operation of STS, which solves traffic problems such as peak bottlenecks, low capacity, many accidents, weather effects, resource waste and environmental pollution, and creates future transportation devices and traffic systems that are extremely simplified and standardized, share resources, and are globally accessible.
