Analysis : Two Important Ways Your Construction Equipment GPS Systems

With its great success in Singapore, a GPS based system like the iCall seemed like the perfect fit for Taiwan Taxi. The company had plans of expanding its membership to 20,000 and believed the iCall would help it achieve this goal. Unfortunately, the iCall did not bring the success that Taiwan Taxi hoped it would which left management questioning why the system worked so well in one country and not the other. The answer to this lies in the cultural differences and a lack of understanding of the Taiwan labor force that is currently working in the taxi industry.

1. Have you ever wondered how the things you buy get delivered to the stores? Semis, planes, trains, and sometimes boats. The majority of them run on diesel, because diesel is more efficient than a gasoline engine. With the number of diesels on the road everyday there is a high demand for mechanics that are properly trained to work on them. You have to be able to leave home on a moment’s notice to travel and repair trucks on the road. Being a diesel mechanic is very stressful and you never know what you will be working on day to day.

tracking number system, so we will know where the equipment is located at all times, when it reaches its destination, and when the shipment is signed for.

According to Service Request SR-ht-003, We were to develop a design for a fleet truck maintenance database, located on the Huffman Trucking IT Service Requests site. This paper will talk about how our team completed the Change Request that was on the Huffman Trucking Service Request.

Now in the current day, according to forecasting, the market competiveness has increased substantially in real time shipment, just-in-time inventories, etc with the demands of companies and customers; therefore, the need to track individual freights more accurately to compete with trucks on the improved highways. An increase in freight loading, newer and more efficient methods are required to enhance the utilization of capacity. There are different alternatives suggested in this case analysis to enhance utilization, cut costs, increase accuracy and compete in the market more efficiently. These non-structural alternatives to previous methods (hand recording database), are as follows: EPC Gen2-based RFID systems, Global Positioning System solutions, Optical Character Recognition (OCR)-based systems, and manual hand-held data collection devices integrated with the current Freight Operations System, or

Goal A: Implement PDA/ GPS usage (productivity function) on truck fleet in the first quarter of the 2012 financial year.

Unfortunately, while they are idling, the engine is consuming diesel fuel at a time when oil prices are at their highest. It has been calculated that every hour a truck idles unnecessarily is equivalent to 8-10 miles of on-road driving (Keller). Although it is necessary for the drivers to idle, it has been a major concern in terms of wasted fuel within the trucking industry, costing them 3 billion gallons of fuel every year.

The main cost within the development of a navigation system for VectorCal’s or Remote Control Unlimited’s drone, will be in labor and material cost. The labor cost will mainly be used in the acquisition of highly trained and experienced programmers. The programmers will have to work in a team since the

In 2004 and 2005, Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE)—the world 's largest bottler and distributor ofCoca-Cola products—implemented ORTEC 's vehicle-routing software. Today, over 300 CCE dispatchers use this software daily to plan the routes of approximately 10,000 trucks. In addition to handling nonstandard constraints, the implementation is notable for its progressive transition from the prior business practice. CCE has realized an annual cost saving of $45 million and major improvements in customer service. This approach has been so successful that Coca-Cola has extended it beyond CCE to other Coca-Cola bottling companies and beer distributors.

* The technology plays a roll very relevant in MapQuest, so the level of technology must be enhanced in order to get performance in cost efficiency and gain competitive advantage.

Fleet management is the management of a company's transportation fleet. Fleet management includes commercial motor vehicles such as cars, vans and trucks, as well as rail cars. Fleet (vehicle) management can include a range of functions, such as vehicle financing, vehicle maintenance, vehicle telemetric (tracking and diagnostics), driver management, speed management, fuel management and health and safety management. Fleet Management is a function which allows companies which rely on transportation in their business to remove or minimize the risks associated with vehicle investment, improving efficiency, productivity and reducing their overall transportation and staff costs, providing 100% compliance with government

The lack of ignition system simplifies repair and maintenance, the absence of throttle also help. The output of a diesel engine is controlled simply by the amount of fuel injected. This makes the injection system very decisive to fuel economy. Even without direct injection, diesel inherently delivers superior fuel economy because of leaner mixture of fuel and air. Unlike petrol, it can combust under very lean mixture. This inevitably reduces power output
