A REFERENCE MODEL FOR THE APPLICATION OF TELEMATICS IN TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS
This paper describes a basic model with which the application of telematics in production, logistics, transport, and traffic (PLTT) can be investigated. To adequately develop these applications, insight in PLTT processes and their interactions, as well as in the possible telematics services and their interactions, is indispensible. Therefore, the model consists of a PLTT part and a telematics part. The model also supports the a priori assessment of economical, organizational, and social aspects of the application of telematics in PLTT. The approach is to start analyzing PLTT processes, to reveal their information flows and to guide their possible re-design to optimally deploy new telematics opportunities. From there, the authors define functional specifications for the telematics services required and structure the interworking between applications through an architectural framework. In addition, the model supports the derivation of a structure of implementation components, from which an infrastructure can be built, based on the principles of maximum share, openness, and extendability. An essential property of the model is that it starts from a functional perpective. Organizations are viewed as being responsible for executing clusters of functional processes.
