Method and system for drone deliveries to vehicles in route

A drone comprising:

• a drone transceiver including a coarse-grain transceiver for communication with a network and a fine-grain transceiver for communication with a vehicle transceiver, wherein the coarse-grain transceiver is configured to:
• communicatively connect with at least a network,
• transmit drone information to the network while the drone moving along a drone route to a destination point, wherein the drone information at least includes a drone location, and
• receive vehicle information from the network while a vehicle is moving along a vehicle route, wherein the vehicle information at least includes a vehicle location,
• wherein the coarse-grain transceiver of the drone transceiver is configured for cellular communication with the network to rendezvous with the vehicle and the fine-grain transceiver of the drone transceiver is configured for direct wireless communication with a vehicle transceiver of the vehicle to engage a docking station;
• and
• a computing device operatively connected to the drone transceiver, the computing device including a memory and a processor configured to:
• update the drone route based at least in part on the destination point and the vehicle location relative to the drone location, and
• communicate the updated drone route to the network.

A method comprising:

• receiving, with a network, vehicle information from a vehicle transceiver of a vehicle moving along a vehicle route with respect to a destination point, wherein the vehicle information at least includes a vehicle location, and
• receiving, with the network, drone information with a drone transceiver of a drone moving along a drone route, the drone transceiver including a coarse-grain transceiver for communication with the network and a fine-grain transceiver for communication with the vehicle transceiver, wherein the drone information at least includes a drone location, and wherein the coarse-grain transceiver of the drone transceiver is configured for cellular communication with the network to rendezvous with the vehicle and the fine-grain transceiver of the drone transceiver is configured for direct wireless communication with the vehicle transceiver to engage a docking station;
• aggregating vehicle information and drone information to update the drone route to minimize a cost function;
• update the drone route based at least in part on the destination point and the vehicle location relative to the drone location;
• and
• providing the updated drone route to the drone using the network.
