  • Publication number: 20240070571
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for conducting pairing processes to identify transport sources. Rules for the pairing processes are generated based on a transport request received from a client interface. The rules determine parameters such as when the process is initiated, or how many iterations it has. Transport sources are then pre-selected in a certain area and sources not fulfilling necessary criteria, e.g., unable to transport the subject of the transport described in the transport request or busy with another transport, are excluded. The remaining sources receive pairing values which can be accepted by the sources. From the accepting sources, one can be confirmed from the client interface.
