Method for managing a distribution system for distributing a fluid of interest comprising: ∘ a plurality of distribution stations for distributing the fluid of interest, each comprising at least one tank (Rs) for the fluid of interest, and a gauge for the capacity of said station tank (Rs); ∘ a plurality of what are referred to as referenced vehicles (Vr), each comprising at least one tank (Rv) for the fluid of interest, a gauge for the capacity of said vehicle tank (Rv), a fuel cell supplied by said vehicle tank (Rv), and a communication device suitable for receiving a supply request; ∘ the distribution stations and the referenced vehicles (Vr) being configured to allow the filling of the vehicle tanks (Rv) from the station tanks (Rs), and the supplying of the station tanks (Rs) from vehicle tanks (Rv); the method comprising the following steps: a. measuring, for each distribution station, at least one capacity value (Ps eff) of the station tank (Rs), and determining a value of a first quantity (Ps eff, Psf) representative of the capacity of the station tank (Rs) from at least the measured capacity value (Ps eff), b. identifying a distribution station (SD d) referred to as in deficit, by comparing at least the values of the first representative quantity (Ps eff; Psf) and at least a first predetermined threshold (Ssinf) representative of a distribution station in deficit (SD d); c. measuring, for each referenced vehicle (Vr), at least one capacity value (Pv eff) of the vehicle tank (Rv), and determining a value of a second quantity (Pv eff, Pv f) representative of the tank capacity (Rv) of the vehicle from at least the measured capacity value (Pveff), d. identifying a referenced vehicle (Vr a) referred to as a supplier, by comparing at least the values of the second representative quantity (Pv eff; Pv f) and at least a second predetermined threshold (Sv sup) representative of a supplier referenced vehicle (Vr a); e. sending the supplier referenced vehicle (Vr a) a supply request (Rsd) to supply the tank of the distribution station in deficit (SD d) from its vehicle tank (Rv). ∘ a plurality of distribution stations for distributing the fluid of interest, each comprising at least one tank (Rs) for the fluid of interest, and a gauge for the capacity of said station tank (Rs); ∘ a plurality of what are referred to as referenced vehicles (Vr), each comprising at least one tank (Rv) for the fluid of interest, a gauge for the capacity of said vehicle tank (Rv), a fuel cell supplied by said vehicle tank (Rv), and a communication device suitable for receiving a supply request; ∘ the distribution stations and the referenced vehicles (Vr) being configured to allow the filling of the vehicle tanks (Rv) from the station tanks (Rs), and the supplying of the station tanks (Rs) from vehicle tanks (Rv); a. measuring, for each distribution station, at least one capacity value (Ps eff) of the station tank (Rs), and determining a value of a first quantity (Ps eff, Psf) representative of the capacity of the station tank (Rs) from at least the measured capacity value (Ps eff), b. identifying a distribution station (SD d) referred to as in deficit, by comparing at least the values of the first representative quantity (Ps eff; Psf) and at least a first predetermined threshold (Ssinf) representative of a distribution station in deficit (SD d); c. measuring, for each referenced vehicle (Vr), at least one capacity value (Pv eff) of the vehicle tank (Rv), and determining a value of a second quantity (Pv eff, Pv f) representative of the tank capacity (Rv) of the vehicle from at least the measured capacity value (Pveff), d. identifying a referenced vehicle (Vr a) referred to as a supplier, by comparing at least the values of the second representative quantity (Pv eff; Pv f) and at least a second predetermined threshold (Sv sup) representative of a supplier referenced vehicle (Vr a); e. sending the supplier referenced vehicle (Vr a) a supply request (Rsd) to supply the tank of the distribution station in deficit (SD d) from its vehicle tank (Rv).
