Design and development of a context-aware decision support system for real-time accident handling in logistics |
Abstract:
This paper describes the design and development of a context-aware fleet management system (CFMS) prototypefor real-time accident handling in logistics using a design science approach. One of the most importantdecisions in fleet management is the optimization of vehicle scheduling during an accident, such as a vehiclebreakdown and mechanical failure during delivery. The schedule planner has to assign another vehicle totake over the task; thus, accident handling needs the reassignment or re-scheduling of vehicles. The largenumber of available vehicles for reassignment and numerous trips in a day make rescheduling complicatedand difficult to resolve. In this paper, we propose a CFMS integrated with global positioning system (GPS)for real-time vehicle positioning and eSeal enabled by the RFID technology, to help human planners withrescheduling. A CFMS prototype was built and evaluated in a real-world setting. The system prototype wassatisfactory during evaluation. The system was found to be more effective by its potential users and field logisticsexperts in aiding real-time accident handling in logistics. The design science approach used to developthe prototype could form a basis for further research. |
