| Dynamic Routing |
|
| Description: Dynamic routing systems are used by public authorities to enhance safety and prevent violations of access regulation. The private sector uses in-vehicle routing as part of a decision support system to enhance the efficiency of fleet management. | |
| Targeted mode: All Traffic | Geographic scope: City, Area |
| Type of initiative: Logistic Management: ITS: Dynamic Routing | Primary objective: Improve traffic flow/ improve efficiency, enhance safety. |
| Expected costs and level of effort to implement: Truck routing and the decision support system are based on Intelligent Transportation Systems; they require high quality real-time traffic data, information on the road network, and land use in the area. Large benefits can be expected when the guidance system is connected to commercial vehicle operation (CVO) systems to optimize fleet management. The planning process should include extensive stakeholder and government involvement. The costs are mainly those associated with the operational cost of the management system, data collection, analysis and dissemination. There are different CVOs, ranging from low cost technology installations to large-scale networks of systems. | |
