System and mobile freight station and method for distribution, delivery, and collection of freight

Abstract

The invention concerns a system for distributing, delivering and collecting freight, with a number I of mobile freight stations, with I ≥1, each having a first interface for automatically loading freight into freight vehicles from a freight storage of the mobile freight station and for automatically unloading freight from freight vehicles into the freight storage, wherein the freight vehicles are arranged and executed for automatically loading/unloading freight via the first interface and for automatically securing/fixing freight in a storage space of the freight vehicles, the mobile freight stations each have a number ni ≤Ni, with i=1, . . . , I, of delivery robots, where Ni is the maximum number of delivery robots present in the ith freight station and ni is the number of delivery robots currently present in the ith freight station, and the I freight stations each have a loading device for automatically loading the Ni delivery robots with a respective freight from the freight storage and for automatically unloading a respective freight from the Ni delivery robots into the freight storage.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A system for distributing, delivering and collecting freight, having a number I of mobile freight stations, having I ≥1, which each have a first interface for automatically loading freight into freight vehicles from a freight storage of the mobile freight station and for automatically unloading freight from freight vehicles into the freight storage, wherein
 the freight vehicles are arranged and executed for automatically loading/unloading freight via the first interface and for automatically securing/fixing freight in a storage space of the freight vehicles, 
 the mobile freight stations each have a number n i  ≤Ni, with i=1, . . . , I, of delivery robots, where Ni is the maximum number of delivery robots present in the ith freight station and ni is the number of delivery robots currently present in the ith freight station, and 
 the I freight stations each have a loading device for automatically loading the Ni delivery robots with a respective freight from the freight storage and for automatically unloading a respective freight from the Ni delivery robots into the freight storage.
