Summary:Techniques in an information-centric network (ICN) for facilitating the transport of passengers or items are described. In one illustrative example, a first mobile device is configured to operate as a mobile transportation-offering ICN endpoint device. The first mobile device may connect to one of a plurality of fixed-location ICN nodes in the ICN network. The first mobile device may communicate in the ICN network one or more interest packet messages indicating an interest in a passenger or item to transport. The interest in a passenger or item to transport may be indicated in, for example, a Named Data Object (NDO). The one or more interest packet messages may include current transportation route information indicating a current anticipated route of transportation for a current passenger or item. In response, the first mobile device may receive, from a second mobile device configured to operate as a mobile transportation-accepting ICN node, one or more response messages indicating an acceptance of the transport.
