AbstractFleet Management on the Internet in an Esri Environment Track: Transportation and Logistics Author(s): W. Brant Howard CompassCom has developed a client/server application that allows multiple wireless GPS and status data to flow into a Windows NT server called CompassFDE (Fleet Data Engine). The server then provides a TCP/IC source for a MapObjects and ArcExplorer client called CompassTrac to provide real-time fleet position and status information. The flexibility of the wireless data inputs to the server and the open environment of .shp file maps used by the client make the solution unique. This software is being used by public safety and transportation organizations to share fleet data, such as vehicle location, status, and dynamic routing, to enhance their efficiency. W.
