• Abstract:
  The FHWA has commissioned this study to determine if there are fleet management needs that can be met through public sector involvement in the development of ITS systems. As part of this examination, this technical memorandum responds to Tasks A, B, and C. It examines how the need for ITS technology to improve fleet management varies with trucking and intercity bus fleet characteristics such as the client industry served, operating patterns, corporate structure, and reporting requirements. This memorandum describes some of the forces driving the industry's increaisng interest in fleet management, presents several alternative ways of categorizing the trucking industry from a fleet management perspective, and recommends candidates for detailed fleet management needs case studies later in this project.
