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.

    Camera technology a flexible and cost-effective option
    Perceptions of machine vision being an expensive solution are being challenged by developments in both core technologies and ancillaries. Here, Jason Barnes and David Crawford look at the latest developments in the sector. A notable aspect of machine vision is the flexibility it offers in terms of how and how much data is passed around a network. With smart cameras, processing capabilities at the front end mean that only that which is valid need be communicated back to a central processor of any descripti

    Improve and increase mass transit systems to minimise congestion
    Rather looking to solve congestion by spreading the load, perhaps we need to look at concentrating it. Michael L. Sena writes. We humans were made to walk and run at embarrassingly slow speeds by comparison with other, more fleet-footed organisms. The sea is not our natural habitat and we were definitely not designed to fly unaided. Nevertheless, humankind has evolved a method of living during the past century that is dependent on transporting its members over very long distances during relatively short per
