1985 Trimble has introduced a new cloud-based field service solution to manage fleet productivity - Trimble GeoManager WorkManagement, a software solution that provides on-demand visibility into vehicle and mobile worker utilisation. For routing, scheduling and dispatch, Trimble says the software makes it easy for organisations to maximise the mobile worker's schedule, provide better customer service, increase productivity and reduce overall operating costs.

"Using a cloud-based environment allows organisations of all sizes to easily deploy scheduling and dispatch solutions without the upfront deployment costs of an IT infrastructure," says Bryn Fosburgh, vice president of Trimble Mobile Solutions. "In addition, Trimble WorkManagement is unique because it visually depicts the real-time impact of changing schedules. When facts are presented, our customers can make informed decisions and better manage incremental jobs to streamline their operations."

    Real time active traffic management improves travel times
    Traffic management centres (TMC) have traditionally served to provide surveillance and responses to traffic incidents and recurring and non-recurring changes in road networks. Typically, a TMC collected field data from the roadway and transit infrastructure and provided the integration necessary for operators to see what was happening and then coordinate a response. Standard operating procedures (SOPs) guided operators on how to respond to a given situation. It eventually became impractical for TMC operat

The technology which uses our roads will also provide information on road conditions but V2X isn’t the only
