Abstract
An apparatus for remote support of autonomous operation of a vehicle includes a processor that is configured to perform a method including receiving a request for a trip through a transportation network, wherein the trip includes a first travel portion from a first location to a second location, and a second travel portion from the second location to a third location. Each of the first travel portion and the second travel portion is associated with a different service such that a first payload of the first travel portion is different from a second payload of the second travel portion. The method also includes determining, based on the request, a route for the trip from the first location to the second location, and from the second location to the third location, and performing a validation process that confirms a presence of cargo in the first payload and/or the second payload.
