• Truck routes and dynamic route guidance to specific vehicles by time of day
• Electronic enforcement and exemptions (e.g. bypass scales)
• Commercial vehicle specific wait time measurement and prediction at borders, bridges
• Reliable real time estimated time of arrival
• Terminal operators – better resource management and coordination
• Construction site managers – adjust resources, only allow vehicles on site when needed, improved safety
• Optimized vehicle coordination with traffic signals – reduce fuel, emissions
• Vehicle and fleet level reporting of fuel, emissions reductions for sustainability programs
