Abstract: Directing transports with wireless communications to transport physical objects to locations. A method includes assigning (S1) a physical object with a unique identifier (P-ID) and a destination marker (P-DEST) identifying the location of the physical object, assigning (S2) the object to the transport, routing (S3) a first transport carrying the physical object, by determining (S3a) a route for the first transport based on the destination marker of the physical object and transmitting (S3b) the determined route to the first transport via wireless communications. Transports are routed (S4) to a geographical location where the first transport converges with a second transport to hand over the physical object directly to the second transport. The second transport is routed (S5) by determining (S5a) a route for the second transport based on the destination marker of the physical object and transmitting (S5b) the determined route to the second transport via wireless communications.

Abstract: Methods and devises for controlling stocking of items within an autonomous vending vehicle and routing of the same. A method includes, for example, detecting S100 removal of at least one item from the vending vehicle, registering S110 vending parameters including at least type of the removed at least one item and position data of the vending vehicle, sending S300 request for a low stock item to a server 30 when the amount of the at least one item is below a predetermined threshold value, wherein the request comprises type of item and position of the vending vehicle and receiving S500 routing and stocking instructions from the server based on the sent request.
