Abstract
Automated transfer of containers for multimodal transportation includes obtaining first attribute data of a transportation vehicle, second attribute data of a container on a carrier vehicle, first position data of the transportation vehicle, and second position data of the carrier vehicle. The transportation vehicle is authenticated based on the first attribute data and the second attribute data. A transfer trajectory associated with the container is generated based on the first position data and the second position data. An electromechanical platform is controlled to movably extend between the carrier vehicle and the transportation vehicle, creating a transfer path for the container. A set of mini vehicles is identified based on the second attribute data of the container such as container's physical weight and size, and each mini vehicle is controlled to move the container along the transfer path, based on the transfer trajectory.
