- receiving information on a target vehicle from the target vehicle;
- transmitting a travel request message to the target vehicle on the basis of the information on the target vehicle;
- receiving, from a delivery vehicle, a goods delivery request message for delivering goods to the target vehicle;
- determining a merging point indicating a point at which the goods will be delivered and a merging time indicating a time at which the delivery vehicle will meet the target vehicle at the merging point;
- and
- transmitting information on the goods, the merging point and the merging time to the target vehicle and the delivery vehicle,
- wherein goods delivery is performed during traveling of the target vehicle and the delivery vehicle, the travel request message includes a travel route of the target vehicle, and the merging point indicates a point on the travel route which satisfies a road environment in which goods delivery can be performed.
A first vehicle for delivering goods in an autonomous driving system, the first vehicle comprising:
- a control device for controlling the vehicle;
- and
- a cargo compartment for carrying cargo boxes,
- wherein the cargo compartment includes a door and a lower conveyor belt for moving the cargo boxes, and the door includes a door conveyor belt for delivering the cargo boxes from the first vehicle to a second vehicle or receiving cargo boxes from the second vehicle during traveling.
A server performing a method for delivering goods in an autonomous driving system, the server comprising:
- a transceiver;
- a memory;
- and
- a processor,
- wherein the processor is configured:
- to receive information on a target vehicle from the target vehicle through the transceiver;
- to transmit a travel request message to the target vehicle on the basis of the information on the target vehicle;
- to receive, from a delivery vehicle, a goods delivery request message for delivering goods to the target vehicle;
- to determine a merging point indicating a point at which the goods will be delivered and a merging time indicating a time at which the delivery vehicle will meet the target vehicle at the merging point;
- and to transmit information on the goods, the merging point and the merging time to the target vehicle and the delivery vehicle,
- wherein goods delivery is performed during traveling of the target vehicle and the delivery vehicle, the travel request message includes a travel route of the target vehicle, and the merging point indicates a point on the travel route which satisfies a road environment in which goods delivery can be performed.
