A method of assigning a trip to a vehicle within a fleet of vehicles that traverse a navigable network in a geographic area is disclosed, where each of the vehicles in the fleet is equipped with one or more electronic devices for logging the activities of one or more drivers associated with the vehicle and for determining the location (12) of the vehicle in the geographic area. For each one of one or more vehicles of the fleet of vehicles, location of interest data and log data is obtained in respect of the vehicle. A time budget for the vehicle is determined using the obtained log data, the time budget representing the amount of time that the vehicle can be legally operated by the one or more drivers associated with the vehicle within a given time period starting from a time of interest. An energy budget for the vehicle is determined using obtained energy data for the vehicle. The obtained location of interest and determined time budget and/or energy budget for the vehicle are used to determine a boundary (10, 22, 32) enclosing a portion of the geographic area representing an area (8, 20, 30) that is reachable by the vehicle by traversing the navigable network from the location of interest (12) within the determined time budget and/or energy budget for the vehicle. Data indicative of at least the determined boundary (10, 22, 32) and the location of interest (12) upon which the boundary is based is provided to a display device of the dispatcher for display thereon.
