Abstract

Automatic vehicle location (AVL) systems are a very usefull tool for vehicle fleet management. The transport operators have the possibility to be informed about their vehicles locations. A dispatcher achieves voice and data communications with mobile terminals, installed on vehicles. The mobile terminals send their position data to the dispatcher. The vehicles positions are displayed at the dispatcher, on a Geographical Information System type map. These informations are usefull for the transport operators to perform the fleet management, which leads to the resource consumption optimization
