Overview
- Demonstrates how commercial fleet telematics systems can be integrated into management information systems without telematics functionality
- Provides a fleet monitoring system to support communication between drivers and dispatchers. Based on this, timely dynamic decisions not only become possible, but timely, in case of disturbances and any means of changes to plans in vehicle routing and dispatching, as well as successfully putting some real-time decision support system into work
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: Operations Research/Computer Science Interfaces Series (ORCS, volume 40)

About this book
In the past 30 years, commercial transport traffic has more than doubled in both Europe and North America, while Asian traffic has likely increased even more. As any mismatch between supply and demand can result into significant disturbances of manufacturing processes, just-in-time practices necessitate punctual, reliable, and flexible transportation.
Fleet Telematics: Real-Time Management and Planning of Commercial Vehicle Operations combines wireless telematics systems with dynamic vehicle routing algorithms and vehicle-positioning systems to produce a telematics-enabled information system that can be employed by commercial fleet operators for real-time monitoring, control, and planning. The book presents a Messaging & Fleet Monitoring System that automatically identifies deviations between the planned and the current state of the transportation system and a Dynamic Planning System (DPS) that provides real-time decision support considering the current state of the transportation system.
