ITS Application in Fleet Management

This document discusses the application of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in fleet management. ITS uses advanced sensors, computers, electronics and communication technologies to increase safety and efficiency in surface transportation. Some key ITS applications for fleet management discussed are vehicle tracking using Automatic Vehicle Location, electronic toll collection, and fleet scheduling and routing tools that use GPS. The benefits of ITS for fleet management include potential cost reductions of 5-25% through improved operations and reduced emissions.

ITS Application in Fleet Management

Nigerian Institute of Transport Technology, NITT Zaria


What is ITS?

•The application of advanced sensor,


computer, electronics, and communications
technologies and management strategies – in
an integrated manner – providing traveler
information - to increase the safety and
efficiency of the surface transportation
system.

ITS is...
• Road Weather
Information Systems
(RWIS)

• Remote Sensors Measure: Air Temp,


Humidity, Visibility, Wind Speed
and Direction, Pavement Temp and
Conditions
• Gives site specific weather forecasts
and 24-hr pavement forecasts
• Data used for winter maintenance
and travel information
ITS is... •Vehicle Operations
(VO)

• Vehicle electronic clearance


• Automated roadside safety
inspection
• On-board safety monitoring
(drowsy driver)
• Vehicle administrative
processes
• International border
crossing applications
ITS is... •Automatic Emergency Notification
(Mayday)

• Automatic collision notification


– triggered by airbag deployment
– message sent to 911/emergency
response via radio signal or cellular
call
• EMS arrives on scene faster
– GPS helps locate vehicle
– chance of survival increases
ITS is... • Traveler Information

• Focus on the needs of travelers in


unfamiliar rural areas
• Needs
– Advisory information (Weather,
Construction)
– En-route services
– Transit
– Traffic management
– Business viability
– Road Conditions Reporting Systems
ITS is... • Electronic Toll Collection

• Uses transponders mounted


on the windshield
• Reduces delays to travelers
• Reduces the costs and
security of counting coins
ITS is... • Fleet Operating and Maintenance

GPS

• Uses Automatic Vehicle Location


(AVL)
• Focus on the scheduling, routing,
location and maintenance of rural
fleets
• Needs
– Fleet management
– Security
– Economic viability
ITS is... • Incident Management and
Emergency Response
ITS is not...

• Technology for technology’s sake


–ITS is user service oriented
–Each ITS user service targets specific
transportation problems such as safety,
inefficiency, or reduced mobility
ITS Benefits
• Reduced Crashes and Fatalities
• Increased Customer Satisfaction
• Time Savings
• Improved Throughput
