The invention introduces, among others, interchangeable transport units, delivery vehicles with a smart loading system, pallet robots, custom platforms with positioning systems and self-propelled trailers, to create flexibility, positive environmental impacts and an efficient transportation system. A proposed method involves the flexible transport of persons and/or freight, using means of transport of choice for the transport of persons, freight, or a combination of persons and freight, whereby a coordination system coordinates the demand for transport of persons and freight. To this end, the coordination system registers the current and expandable capacity of persons and freight of a transport means, a residual capacity, determined by the difference between the passenger capacity and the passenger transport demand, and a transforming capacity, which is determined by the size of the residual capacity that can be transformed for the carriage of freight. The coordination system then calculates a freight capacity, which is determined by the transforming capacity of the expandable freight capacity.
