Abstract:

In today’s increasingly competitive economic environment, effective management of commercial vehicle fleets is important for all types of carriers and for the trucking industry as a whole. To meet fleet management needs, carriers increasingly are turning to intelligent transportation systems (ITS) technologies. ITS technologies can enhance the competitive advantage of the industry and of individual trucking companies by improving the efficiency of goods movements through real-time information exchange and communications, and by providing customers with up-to-the-minute information regarding the location and timing of shipments and deliveries. This resource guide provides a summary of the technologies currently used for fleet management. Four broad categories of technology, along with their benefits and drawbacks, and current vendors and costs, are described in this introduction. In the body of the report, more detailed fact sheets are provided, which include information about each technology.
