ITS SUPPORT OF TRANSPORT COMPANIES AND THEIR CUSTOMERS

V današnjem času, kjer prednost pred konkurenco pomeni obstoj podjetja na trgu, so podjetja v nenehnem iskanju za izboljšavami ter posledično povečanjem storilnosti z manjšimi stroški ob ohranjanju oziroma dvigu kvalitete storitev. Zaradi navedenih razlogov se podjetja na področju logistike vse bolj poslužujejo informacijske tehnologije. Vsi členi v logistični verigi, od izvajalcev transportnih storitev do njihovih uporabnikov, si iščejo to prednost s pomočjo ITS oziroma inteligentnih transportnih sistemov. Diplomska naloga predstavlja sledilne sisteme in njihove zmogljivosti za transportna podjetja ter hkrati tudi projekt KASSETTS kot orodje za optimizacijo stroškov na področju logistike za manjša in srednja podjetja brez lastnega voznega parka oziroma manjšimi enotami proizvodnje. Prikazali bomo prednosti in koristi koriščenja ITS za optimizacijo stroškov ter učinkovitosti.In times when a competitive advantage represents a chance to survive on global market, companies are in constant search of improvements. So they could lower their costs and at the same time improve their efficiency while maintaining the same or better level of service. Because of those reasons the companies in the logistics field are more and more in touch with information technology. All links in the logistic chain are searching for this competitive advantage with help of ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems). The thesis represents the fleet tracking system and their capabilities for transport companies. And at the same time it represents project KASSETTS as a tool for optimizing the costs of logistics for SMEs (Small And Medium Enterprises) without their own fleet. We will show the advantages and benefits of ITS to optimize the cost efficiency
