Abstract
A mobile base is provided that travels through delivery areas and utilizes associated transportation units (e.g., automated aerial vehicles) for delivering items from the mobile base to user specified delivery locations. The transportation units may be carried on the mobile base and may utilize navigation systems (e.g., utilizing GPS) to travel back and forth to the mobile base when making deliveries. The mobile base may have multiple stopping points and may continue to move along a route through a geographic area while the transportation units depart from and return to the mobile base at different locations.
