Abstract
This paper describes the approach and first results of current research performed at the Telematics Research Centre (TRC) which focusses on a systematic approach to the analysis and (re)design of logistic networks. In this research, telematics is seen as a supporting technology enabling logistic network improvement.
The first part of the research aims at developing a reference model allowing the investigation of the application of telematics in logistics. This model uses a functional perspective: organisations carry out several functional processes. Insight in these processes and their interactions as well as in the possible telematics services and their interactions is necessary in order to successfully develop telematics applications for logistics.
In the second part, a method is developed for supporting the judgement of the technical, economic, and social aspects of the introduction of telematics, both quantitatively and qualitatively.
The authors would like to thank H. Bakker and P.H.W.M. Oude Luttighuis for reviewing this paper.
