Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for controlling land or water vehicles, hereinafter referred to as fleet, consisting of a statically or variably formed group of means of transport which is permanently or temporarily limited, economically or otherwise prioritized, coordinated by a common center, at least one radio connection exists between the individual vehicle and the headquarters.
- fleet consisting of a statically or variably formed group of means of transport which is permanently or temporarily limited, economically or otherwise prioritized, coordinated by a common center, at least one radio connection exists between the individual vehicle and the headquarters.
- the object of the invention is therefore to propose a universally applicable method in which any number of users can act on a group of vehicles, the vehicles being assigned to one or more of the users.
- the invention is characterized by the technical teaching of claim 1 and a device implementing the method by the technical teaching of claim 15.
- An essential feature of the invention is that a large number of users are connected to a central unit via a data connection, that the central unit is connected to the vehicle to be coordinated via one or more GMS-compatible radio links and that the GPS is also used to determine the location of the vehicle. Position signals from one or more navigation satellites are used.
- Fleet management Management refers to the entirety of all decisions and measures that are required to achieve a defined goal from a given situation.
- the goal can consist of the best possible combination of partial goals (cost minimum, maximum revenue, maximum security ).
- Fleet management is the management of a fleet, whereby the fleet is a static or variable group of means of transport, which is permanently or temporarily limited, economically or otherwise prioritized, coordinated by a common body.
- IntraGSM ® With the IntraGSM ® telematics platform initiated by the DeTeMobil VT, a future standard is available that should also be used for T-Fleet under the aspect of a mass-marketable device. IntraGSM ® uses the basic technologies GSM as a transmission standard and GPS as a localization system.
- the method according to the invention and the device operating according to it consist of the vehicle-side terminal and of the service package with parts from communication, decision and documentation algorithms.
- the terminal has a modular structure, so that appropriate services can be provided as required by the customer.
- the customer determines the composition of the end device and the choice of service.
- the service is usually addressed via a landline connection. T-Online and the Internet WWW are intended for this. Prolonged access via connected media (DI-> Internet) is possible, but not the primary goal. Communication via ISDN and Datex-P is intended for large users.
- the destination traffic is called from the mobile device
- the method is based on the idea of providing client-oriented data storage and computer performance for many connected users at a central point in a communication network.
- the user needs a computer at his operating location, which either directly via modem, ISDN or Datex-P or is connected to the T-Fleet data center via the T-Online and Internet services, as well as a suitable software access program and possibly a user ID.
- the individual applications of the T-Fleet service package have a modular structure. The user can call each application individually or linked to other applications if required. His data can only be called up by him or third parties authorized by him (closed user group principle).
- a suitable remote station in the form of an on-board device is required to use some applications. According to the classifications described later, the vehicle-side terminal serves as a communication remote station up to the automatic or semi-automatic data provider for the decision-making basis of the user.
- Client fleet in circulation are new incoming orders in the
- Order list set with its execution time is determined on the basis of the order information "from" and its location.
- the reporting time is calculated from the execution time minus the travel time and taking into account local and industry-specific security and set in a monitoring list.
- the service constantly monitors approaching reporting times and transfers the order promptly to the client vehicle, which is selected according to filters configured by the customer.
- the route and time calculation is based on plan information.
- Disposition II (disposition on actual data) Based on a known client order list, known client fleet and locations, new incoming orders are placed in the order list with their execution time. The estimated travel time is determined on the basis of the order information "from" and its location. The reporting time is calculated from the execution time minus the travel time and taking into account local and industry-specific security and set in a monitoring list.
- the service constantly monitors approaching reporting times and transfers the order promptly to the client vehicle, which is selected according to filters configured by the customer.
- Consignors or shippers can enter their freight to be awarded under the mask "from-to someone". Enter the number, size and weight of the freight items, dangerous goods classes, freight dates. The offered loads are managed in a relational database. Unprepared until the start of the freight date Freights are reported back to the shipper within defined deadlines, and the shipper decides whether to take back, move or carry out the freight himself
- Carriers can search for freight offers, among other things, under the search masks "Day, everything", “Day, from”, “Day from to”, “Week, from”, “Week, from, to”, “Week goods class”. He can use the background process "Business Evaluation” to check selected loads for profitability. Then he sits down with the shipper Connection and negotiates the order acceptance. When placing an order, the shipper addresses the freight online to the carrier using the "Freight offer - order to " mask. Continue like “direct freight order”. Direct freight order
- Freights can also be transferred directly from the shipper to a defined carrier.
- the freight registration takes place under the mask "from to, order to ".
- the number, size and weight of the freight items, dangerous goods classes and freight date must be specified.
- directly assigned or brokered loads are provided with one or more consignment numbers and into the Shipment tracking stopped.
- the freight declaration is made by the shipper from the freight exchange.
- the shipment number varies according to general cargo, partial load and total load traffic.
- Part load and total load traffic is provided with a freight number that is issued for a limited time (e.g. six digits in sequence, one check digit).
- General cargo shipments receive one
- Transport flow control can also use a transponder identity.
- the freight number is shown on freight and freight papers.
- a current freight is tracked in a database for the duration from the date of dispatch to the final delivery at the destination.
- the shipping and receiving location are known before the start. Every loading and unloading message is logged.
- the notification can either be time-conforming from the vehicle, time-shifted from the vehicle or processed in batches from a transshipment point.
- the location reference is made by Location report of the vehicle, plan information of the disposition or identity of the transhipment parts.
- the deregistration takes place either by conclusive agreement of a vehicle message "unloading" with location that is identical to the place of receipt of the goods, or by an explicit message “Delivered freight number ." from the vehicle or depot. Freights that are not deregistered will be communicated to the shipper after one working day without a freight escort notification. Once these loads have been delivered, they must be signed off by the shipper.
- the freight escort database uses the freight escort database to determine where it was last reported and whether it is at a depot or on a vehicle. If the freight is on a vehicle, it is known from the disposition and rolling map whether the vehicle is in regular or distribution traffic. If the end device in the vehicle is equipped accordingly, a freight delivery forecast can be created.
- the roll card is read out in the vehicle or disposition and a time forecast is made from the location of the destinations still to be reached.
- the tour optimization can be called up as pre- or post-processing.
- Preprocessing is particularly suitable for operational planning for long transport routes, whereas post-processing is used to check the profitability of decisions made.
- the vehicle stock can be relationally related to the data of the vehicle management.
- the order data can be provided from the freight escort.
- the assignment order -> vehicle is made.
- the roll card is created in relation to the shipment tracking.

- the assignments Personnel -> Vehicle and Order -> Vehicle are made on the basis of vehicle availability, personnel availability and order list.
- the optimization takes personnel deployment planning into account when assigning orders.
- the roll card is created in relation to the shipment tracking.
- the route is suggested on the basis of the order data “from” and “to”. If no route optimization has been carried out, the order of arrival is calculated and the roll map is created. With regard to traffic situation data and forecasts, the tour is optimized according to route length or time,
- Tracking the route is useful for logging the delivery location and time, as well as driving and rest times.
- the carrier After checking the authorization, the carrier can have the route of a vehicle reconstructed. For this purpose, the vehicle number, the period and, if applicable, the assumed location of the vehicle are entered.
- the function searches for the reporting data of the period in the reporting history and returns a graphical and a list-like answer.
- Dates such as TÜV due dates, inspections, return days for loaned devices and much more are always forgotten.
- individual appointments and regularly recurring appointments are monitored for the user.

- the user calls up the query form "Container pickup on ".
- the locations of the containers to be picked up are output and processed in route optimization or disposition.
- the user queries the current location of a container and, if necessary, specifies its starting point.
- the route is as
- the destination or destinations are also known with reference to the vehicle. Unknown transports can perform this service according to the selection for the T-traffic Standard route guidance.
- the truck route guidance service is called by the on-board device.
- the current location and the vehicle class identifier are transferred in accordance with the classification to be determined.
- the time-optimal route suitable for the vehicle is determined taking into account route categories, structural restrictions and restricted areas (drinking water protection areas) and transmitted to the end device.
- the display is based on the display of route guidance in the T-traffic Standard service.
- the vehicle class identifier is stored in the on-board device. It can be changed either via the "System parameters - remote configuration" or "Monitoring .. - target data supply” services.
- the system parameters service is used for supplying master data to the VT client and for remote configuration in the vehicle end device.
- it is an instrument for simplified contract administration and a mailbox for customer care.
- the user can register additional on-board devices on his collective account, other employees authorize the use of T-Fleet, important customers the use of T-Fleet on his account allow, and authorize certain third parties to share their disposition.
- SMS-MT Short Message Service - mobile terminated, received in the vehicle-side device
- GPRS General Packet Radio Service
- the calling service transmits the text block (message), the destination address (phone number) of the on-board device, the industry-specific time priority and its internal administration number to the text transmission function.
- the "Target data supply” function regulates the formatting of data to be stored in the vehicle. This can be route data such as waypoint or corridor, time-related data such as reporting cycles or fixed reporting times, as well as threshold values for automatic reports from connected sensors.
- the function provides the secure transmission from the VT -Central to the vehicle-side terminal device
- the vehicle-side terminal device is determined from the assignment order -> vehicle.
- the "remote configuration" function is comparable to the "target data supply” function.
- the vehicle to be configured is addressed directly based on its data base.
- menu texts and functions, the number and texts of the operating status, and dialing addresses for VT auxiliary services can be configured here.
- the message history consists of a program for receiving formatted SMS MO / GPRS messages from the vehicle's end devices and a relational database.
- the program enters incoming messages into the database under the order term telephone number and in sequence of the reporting time.
- a special routine regularly checks the database for outdated values. For this purpose, the desired retention time is determined via the assignment of phone number -> client -> master data and the outdated data is deleted depending on the client's disposal or archived on data media for a fee.
- the data in the database can be read and evaluated by other functions and services using structured queries. There is no write access from here.
- the position query is usually carried out as a query on the database reporting history. Is the last reported position older than a time tolerance that is yet to be defined, the "interactive position query" is called.
- the planned costs of an order are determined on the basis of planned costs (target costs) for each vehicle from the vehicle administration and the calculated route, if desired qualified by the specified personnel costs and the calculated duration taking into account driving times and rest periods. These are compared to the freight revenue to be achieved and, if the database allows it, output as gross profit or profit margin.
- the quality of the decision depends on the quality of the basic data.
- the fleet master data is maintained here.
- the number and types of vehicles in the fleet, their phone number and device class, basic data of cost accounting and the data of the loading volume and load are kept. This data can be queried by other functions.
