In addition to telematics, there are a number of more or less advanced information
technologies, used in transport processes in the enterprise:
- Detectors or sensors, make possible to remote measurements of the state of means of
transport,
- Systems of terrestrial and satellite communications enable the transmission of information
over long distances,
- Electronic and wireless technology enables the exchange of information between vehicle
and external devices,
- Databases and data warehouses make possible to store information, as well as their rapid
processing,
- Recently used information systems also allow to send and receive information in real time.
In addition to the wide range of possibilities, information systems used in the processes of transport
can bring tangible benefits in the form of:
- Increase transport efficiency,
- Better financial results,
- More efficient coordination in the exchange of information,
- Optimal use of transport and improving the quality of transport,
- The possibility of remote monitoring conditions along the route,
- A decrease in the percentage of so-called. incorrect deliveries (deliveries delayed or
mistakenly shipped products)
- Less use of drivers,
- Optimize the timetable and plans of drivers,
- Adaptation of trips to the requirements of customers without incurring additional costs,
It can be assumed that in the field of information systems for transport, over the years, they
will be still developing and their capabilities increase, improve their functionality and increase the
number of offered tools and applications. Along with the continuous development of society,
markets and companies will also develop. This will mean that with the advent of new requirements
