Computerized systems for vehicle location, communication and fleet management provide permanent and direct on route access to the fleet. Thus time schedules, routes and cargo assignments can be optimized. Transport hazards can be identifed and minimized or avoided. The functionality of such a system is based on the following matched components: sufficiently accurate positioning of each vehicle based on GPS (Global Positioning System); communication system, functioning no matter what the position of the vehicle is via Inmarsat; centralized, computer based management system, which will keep the dispatcher free from routine tasks, provide hints for decision finding in tactical situations, enables access and control based on a digital map information system.
