Method and system for monitoring transport related activity

The application concerns monitoring or regulating transport related activities, e.g. facilitating traffic flow in an emergency or influencing the behaviour of human or autonomous vehicles. An event is created in a server 200 and includes a geographical area, time frame and associated parameters e.g. a reward, a fee or a restriction to enter or remain in the geographical area. The event is associated with and sent to a recipient, e.g. an individual 530, 545, 555, a mobile phone 535, a communications server 134, 164, a bicycle 505, 540, a car 550, a bus 585, an unmanned aerial vehicle or drone 520, or a watercraft 515. The recipient's transport activity in the geographical area is monitored only during the time frame. An operation is performed based on the event's associated parameters and the recipient's monitored activity. For example, a driver may be billed or fined for entering a polluted area with a vehicle having an internal combustion engine, whereas cyclists may be paid an incentive. Alternatively, a track and trace database may be updated following successful delivery of a product. Another embodiment restricts vehicles from entering a zone around an emergency, e.g. a terrorist attack or security alert.
