18 Wheels of Transportation
Track: Transportation
Authors: Tom Clements
Werner Enterprises has over 7,500 18 wheeled tractor trailers on the Interstate system at any given time. Our user interface running on ArcGIS Server puts us 'in the driver seat' for making the right decisions for our assets. Being able to quickly make the best decision on equipment can be a major difference maker in our industry. We can find every piece of equipment in our network, get status updates on that equipment and make changes if necessary. Our application puts our fleet managers in a position to track, re-route trucks, assign freight to trucks, find fuel, maintenance centers, or route drivers home. This application has taken us from managing 7,500 trucks on the Green Screen to a Supply Chain Heads Up Display (HUD) with to all pertinent information integrated into the map.
