3. Matteo Mauro 3 Collaborations Operations Research Group at the University of Trieste (ORTS) Sistemi Evoluti per i Trasporti (SET s.r.l.) Target of the project To provide Container Road Carrier Companies with a GIS oriented application able to request localizations of their trucks and use this information in order to optimize the fleet management.

4. Matteo Mauro 4 Problem (I) : Localization Localization and visualization of a vehicle fleet of a Container Road Carrier Company.

5. Matteo Mauro 5 Localization Client GIS Application Server TIMGSM CellTrucks

6. Matteo Mauro 6 Problem (II) : Optimization Routes Optimization: Shortest path; Cheapest path. To Theoretical Route From

7. Matteo Mauro 7 Problem (III) : Control Verifying trucks’ positions (Real Route vs.Theoretical Route). Localization Theoretical Route

8. Matteo Mauro 8 Problem (IV): Knowledge and Update Theoretical Route Alternative Route Knowledge of alternative routes. Update the geodatabase associated to the viability layer.

9. Matteo Mauro 9 Modules of the application Localization Optimization Control Update Have a real-time overview of the fleet. Give clients the real-time position of their goods. Save money and time. Verify trucks’ positions. Find alternative routes. Update the geographic information in the viability layer.

10. Matteo Mauro 10 Use common digital cartography; Optimize routes; Localize trucks via GSM-cell; Summary and Conclusions GIS Oriented Application developed with Visual Basic and MapObject (ESRI) libraries that is able to… Update viability. Find alternative routes; Control trucks;
