Specifically designed for trucking, fleet, and logistics applications, 50 ESRI has announced ArcLogistics Navigator, a complete desktop solution for creating optimised routes and solving scheduling problems. ESRI claims that organisations that use it typically save 15-20 per cent in fleet-related costs within months of implementation. The savings are attributed to powerful solvers in ArcLogistics desktop that consider customer time windows, vehicle capacity, driver speciality and the nature of the street network, helping route planners sequence stops that result in efficient routes.

Because ArcLogistics Navigator is tightly integrated with ArcLogistics, route planners can now send these optimised stops directly to in-vehicle devices, ensuring drivers follow the exact streets chosen for the route.

    Hartford’s tailors winter maintenance on Esri’s GIS platform
    The in-house winter maintenance and vehicle tracking system built by the Public Works Department in Hartford, Connecticut, coped with record snowfalls and cut costs too. When it comes to dealing with the effects of mother nature, transport agencies can find themselves in a lose-lose situation: criticised if the roads or rail lines are disrupted by snow, ice or floods for more than a few hours and lambasted for wasting money if the equipment and stockpiles put in place for a hard winter remain unused.

    Healthy prospects for floating vehicle data systems
    Elmar Brockfeld, Alexander Sohr and Peter Wagner from the German Aerospace Center's Institute of Transport Systems look at the prospects for floating vehicle data systems. Although Floating Vehicle Data (FVD) or probe vehicle fleets have been around for about a decade, the idea behind them is of course much older: from probe vehicles that flow with the traffic it should be possible to get a precise, fast and spatially near-complete picture of the prevailing traffic flow conditions in an area under surveilla

    TRL's Alan Stevens looks at the evolution and future prospects of in-vehicle navigation devices. Human-Machine Interaction (HMI) plays a crucial role in the safety of vehicles on our roads. Until we achieve full automation (and that's a debatable prospect anyway) a driver's interaction with the vehicle - all the controls, information and systems - holds a pivotal role in safe driving.
