Abstract

Fleet managers more and more want to have a process oriented approach integrated into their fleet management applications. In most cases it is not enough anymore to know that a vehicle passed a trip from location A to B in a certain timeframe with a certain number of transactional activities (such as parcel deliveries etc.). Furthermore process oriented information such as detailed routing information, number of stops at traffic lights, number of left turns (normally time consuming in right lane traffic areas), number of gear changes, time wasted in traffic jams, average speed, max speed, altitude profile of the trip, number of car door openings, CO₂ emission, etc. is more and more timely available through modern powerful Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) technologies and is waiting for exploitation through sophisticated analytical and business applications in order to reduce the total cost of ownership for businesses processes with moving assets involved. The article will show how a business case could look like that covers all needs to turn technical information into a business that is able to realize a win-win situation for all parties involved into the mobility process.
