Communications play an important role in road transport nowadays. Trucks, the means of production, generally operate throughout a geographically dispersed area, and dispatchers are dependent on reliable communications with the drivers to instruct them adequately and to obtain useful information on the trip progress. Mobile communication is a communication medium that provides two-way instantaneous communications between dispatchers and drivers, providing an opportunity for both dispatchers and drivers to make contact with each other at virtually any time and any place. Recent developments in mobile communication technology have made mobile communications available to the greater part of the road transport industry. This dissertation investigates the possibilities mobile communications have to support the daily tasks of road haulage dispatchers. It focuses on the development of an information system that incorporates mobile communication technology and on establishing the benefits of using such an information system. (Copyright (c) 1993 P.R.
