The disclosure relates particularly to a method for providing security for a transfer point for at least one receiving apparatus, performed by one or more apparatuses, the method comprising: receiving state information at least characteristic for the presence of at least one person and/or at least one object at the transfer point; checking whether the state information meets a security requirement; and outputting or causing outputting of an activation signal only if the state information meets the security requirement. Further, the disclosure relates to a vehicle for use as a transfer apparatus for at least one transfer point, to a transfer point and to a system and a computer program.

Method for providing security for a transfer point

An airworthy, unmanned transport apparatus () has a payload container () for at least one consignment (), wherein the transport apparatus () has on its underside () at least two latching arms () which are arranged opposite one another and are each subjected to a spring force and by way of which the payload container () is able to be latched onto the transport apparatus () such that, as a result of the latching arms () being pressed in, the payload container () is releasable from the transport apparatus ().

Transport apparatus

In a vehicle comprising a maneuvering system for maneuvering a predetermined part of the vehicle into a target position provided by a target object, wherein the maneuvering system comprises a first optical sensor device, arranged at the vehicle, for capturing the target object and a calculating device for calculating a trajectory of the predetermined part of the vehicle into the target position with the aid of an image of the target object captured by the first optical sensor device, fast and safe maneuvering should be facilitated by improved monitoring of the maneuvering process and an improved calculation of the trajectory of the predetermined part of the vehicle into the target position, as a result of which accidents and damage to humans, vehicles and wares are avoided. This is achieved by virtue of the maneuvering system comprising a second optical sensor device arranged at the vehicle in a manner offset relative to the first optical sensor device in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
