Claims15
A method for transferring perishable consignments into vehicles, the method comprising:
- determination of the position of a vehicle, by means of a positioning system in the vehicle,
- clearance of a position of the parked vehicle, as a delivery address, to a system, via a communications unit of the vehicle, via a communications network,
- transmission of the position of the parked vehicle, via a communications unit of a control device of the access arrangement, via a communications network (N2),
- transmission of the authorization clearance for opening at least one door and/or trunk of the vehicle by a person delivering a consignment, via a communications means of a system, via a communications network (N1), to the communications terminal device of the person delivering a consignment, and the radio signal contains the authorization clearance, wherein the opening is valid within a defined time window,
- transmission of a radio signal, which contains an authorization clearance, wherein, upon authorization being present, the access arrangement activates opening of at least one door and/or trunk of the vehicle,
- after opening and transferral of the consignment have been completed by the manual closing of a door and/or trunk of the vehicle by the delivery person, that a confirmation of the transferral of the consignment by the delivery person is effected via the communications means, via the communications network (N2), to the communications terminal device of the driver of the vehicle via the system, and
- following transmission of an update request by the communications means of the driver of the vehicle, an update of authorization data is effected in the control device of the access arrangement,
- characterized in that, upon the clearance of the position of the vehicle, by the driver, as a delivery address, it was specified by the driver and/or delivery person what type of perishable consignment in the vehicle is to be delivered and, following opening and transferral of the perishable consignment into the trunk, an energy source in the vehicle, which is suitable for supplying a refrigeration unit, in which the perishable consignment is delivered, is activated, if the delivered consignment is a perishable consignment, that is to be cooled in a low temperature range, which was specified previously, upon the clearance of the position of the vehicle as a delivery address, by the driver, and it is determined, by checking of the vehicle type, whether such an energy source is present in the vehicle.
