The server 100, based on the delivery routes of each of the plurality of first vehicles, which are other delivery vehicles, at least one of the plurality of first vehicles that includes the second point in the delivery route before the acquired sensing possible time point. It is possible to identify whether the second vehicle of exists.

When the second vehicle is identified, the server 100 identifies the order in which the second vehicle is located at the second point in the earliest order, according to the delivery order, and at least one of the identified orders is included in a certain rank. You can select a third vehicle.

The server 100 may change the delivery route of each third vehicle to include the second area and provide the changed delivery route to the driver terminal of each third vehicle.

At this time, when sensor information of the third product box is obtained from the gateway of at least one fourth vehicle among the third vehicles, the server 100 sends the first message to the driver terminal 500 of the delivery vehicle that lost the third product box. An alarm regarding the transfer of the third item box to the delivery vehicle may be provided, and an updated list of loaded items to include the third item box may be provided to the driver terminal of the fourth vehicle.

At this time, the server 100 may determine whether the product can be delivered based on the status information of the third product box obtained from the gateway of the fourth vehicle.

According to the status information, if at least one of the temperature, humidity, and illuminance of the third product box is determined to be outside the critical range, the server 100 determines that the article in the third product box is in an undeliverable state, and Delivery delay and re-delivery alarms of the third product box can be provided to each of the consumer terminal of the third product box and the consumer server of the third product box.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the temperature, humidity, and illuminance of the third product box are each within the critical range according to the status information, the server 100, based on the waybill information of the third product box, determines that the fourth vehicle By changing the delivery route and delivery order, the changed delivery route and delivery order can be provided to the driver terminal of the fourth vehicle.

At this time, the server 100 provides an alarm about the transfer of the delivery vehicle of the third product box, driver information of the fourth vehicle, and the changed delivery schedule to the consumer server of the third product box, and the consumer terminal of the third product box. Alarms for delivery vehicle relocation and changed delivery schedules can be provided.
