Abstract
An example operation includes one or more of determining, by a station, a first group of transports in need of charge and a second group of transports capable of providing charge, prioritizing, by the station, at least one transport of the second group to come to the station at a time prior to when at least one transport of the first group comes to the station, receiving, at the station, a first amount of charge from the at least one transport of the second group, and providing, from the station, a second amount of charge to the at least one transport of the first group.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- determining, by a station, a first group of transports in need of charge and a second group of transports capable of providing charge;
- prioritizing, by the station, at least one transport of the second group to come to the station at a time prior to when at least one transport of the first group comes to the station;
- receiving, at the station, a first amount of charge from the at least one transport of the second group;
- and
- providing, from the station, a second amount of charge to the at least one transport of the first group.
A station comprising:
- a processor configured to
- determine a first group of transports in need of charge and a second group of transports that can provide charge;
- prioritize at least one transport of the second group to come to the station at a time prior to when at least one transport of the first group comes to the station;
- receive a first amount of charge from the at least one transport of the second group;
- and
- provide a second amount of charge to the at least one transport of the first group.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform:
- determining, by a station, a first group of transports in need of charge and a second group of transports capable of providing charge;
- prioritizing, by the station, at least one transport of the second group to come to the station at a time prior to when at least one transport of the first group comes to the station;
- receiving, at the station, a first amount of charge from the at least one transport of the second group;
- and
- providing, from the station, a second amount of charge to the at least one transport of the first group.
