Abstract

Fleet Management Systems (FMS) allows to manage a significant amount of spatially distributed objects, providing real-time information about its status and location, as well as information about the environment in which they are located. The amount of information that contemporary FMS can provide to decision makers is enormous and allows for a significant facilitation of transport optimization processes. This means that these systems can be an important support also for the implementation of tasks related to the operation of urban freight transport. The main problem, however, is the selection of the right tool among the many available on the market. The paper uses elements of the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) to evaluate selected Fleet Management Systems from the perspective of the end-user’s needs, with particular emphasis on increasing the time and economic efficiency of the management process.
