- W632113721 abstract "With fuel prices still rising, UK freight transport companies are under pressure to reduce their costs. This article discusses some examples of the scheduling and tracking software that is becoming essential for them. A report, prepared by Lloyds Bowmaker and the University of Westminster in London, stated that, in 1995, goods vehicles were running empty for 29% of their distance travelled. Most respondents predicted, rightly, that the increased use of information technology (IT) would reduce this empty time. In 1996, a bomb threat closed the M6 motorway and caused chaos on surrounding roads, while Sainsbury's was testing the Integrated Transport Information Services (ITIS) software. Sainsbury's could find out which of its lorries were delayed, and inform its retailers that they would be late. Sainsbury's was so impressed with ITIS that it later signed a two-year contract. ITIS collects data from various sources, and predicts the effects of weather and other factors on traffic and routes; it gives likely traffic flows in a given area, based on day of week and time of day. The choice of vehicle scheduling, routing, and tracking software is bewildering, with a package for every size of operator. Prices have dropped sharply in the last few years, and extensive operating cost reductions are generally possible." @default.
