Economic aspects of communication in road transport
Abstract
Availability of adequate communication systems for control and management in the road transport sector where a large part of the transport service is produced beyond the physical control of the company is discussed. The fact that the transport service has to be produced and consumed simultaneously makes the optimal use of the production capacity more critical. Developments in the organization of logistical concepts will put more emphasis on the need of communications, which inevitably will lead to the application of communication systems between office and vehicle.
