Definition
Fleet Management comprises the target-oriented, optimal planning, supervision and control of the fleet operations based on the available resources, considering internal and external influencing factors. A special focus is on the integration of organizational processes with modern information systems.

Route Planning - Definition
Route Planning serves to arrange different transport orders to tours of a vehicle fleet.
The most known Route Planning problems are:– The Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP)
(only one vehicle!)– the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP)– the Pickup and Delivery Problem (PDP)
Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP)Goal: Find the shortest way of a circular tour (starting point = end point) that is as cost effective as possible that visits a certain amount of customers exactly once.
Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP)The VRP is an extension of the TSP in which various vehicles are available at a depot.The VRP is therefore a combined assignment- and circular tour-problem
Pickup and Delivery Problem (PDP)In PDP, consignments are picked up at one place and transported to their destination.The PDP is an amplified VRP Pick up locations and the destinations have to be in the same tourFull-Truckload PDP
Route PlanningDynamic Route Planning Static Route Planning
New data can get known and already known data can change
All relevant data is known before the planning starts
Timely close decisions are more important than the once more remote in time
Same importance of decisions that are close or remote in time
Only little time for verification, manual correction and implementation of changed route plans
Enough time for the creation, verification and the implementation of route plans
Location-TrackingLocation-tracking helps companies to
streamline and control supply chains
move products to the market faster
monitor assets prevent inventory
loss track vehicle fleets
Companies must consider how to track inventory
in a smaller area across a wide area
Location tracking is not one, single technology.
Local Area & Indoor Tracking– RFID: Small, battery-less microchips is attached to
consumer goods, vehicles, objects to track movements.
Wide Area Tracking– GPS: Signals received from Satellites to track
movements of objects moving great distances.

Tracking Technologies: GPS Tracking
Every vehicle must be equipped with a GPS receiver.As the vehicle moves around the world, satellites track the vehicle’s position.Positioning can be requested at anytime.
