[OSGeo-Discuss] Fleet management

[Louis Sayers]

Hi,

I'm Louis, I noticed that in July 2009 there was a discussion on fleet
management software, and people were talking about possibly starting a
project (see http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2009-July/thread.html
 )

I was wondering if this discussion had led to the formation of a project of
any sort, or if other software had been identified that provided the
functionality required for fleet management?

I'm particularly interested in such a system to:

1. Track a fleet of vehicle locations
2. Send orders to vehicles based on their location (using shortest path type
queries)
3. Enable drivers to follow guided mapping directions from the vehicles
4. Enable drivers to confirm pickup or dropoff of orders, or various other
scenarios (e.g. toilet stop needed)
5. Enable full automation of the system (which vehicles get which orders are
determined by an algorithm, not humans)

Are there any projects / products out there that you know of that cover or
are working to cover these features?
