Many of our researchers have strong scientific background. Working through PhD dissertations and MSc theses they shaped the authentic GIS solution system. The number of publications authored by the members of the CG & GIS Lab, in the period 1996-2011, is greater than a hundred. On the basis of nerly twenty large software projects already finished in: business, health care, government, logistics, agriculture, education, telecommunications, gas & electric, environmental management, homeland and public safety, forestry, real estate, etc., we prepare refined solutions to offer to the public through CG & GIS Lab. The flexibility of the CG & GIS Lab allows rapid expansion according to the market needs in all other field our GIS solution system might be beneficial.

Indication of spatial route constraint violation – every transport route has a strictly defined geofence zone which constraints the movement of the transport vehicles. This event is triggered if a vehicle breeches this zone. This can be caused by a potential unplanned heavy traffic or weather conditions which can influence the driver to leave the planned route and choose an alternative road.

Indication of vehicle schedule constraint violation – the usage of every vehicle is time constrained meaning that it can be used in a strictly defined time schedule. This event is triggered if a vehicle is being used outside defined time schedule indicating a emergency situation or possible unauthorised vehicle usage.

This event is triggered if a vehicle breeches this zone. This can be caused by a potential unplanned heavy traffic or weather conditions which can influence the driver to leave the planned route and choose an alternative road.

Indication of vehicle schedule constraint violation – the usage of every vehicle is time constrained meaning that it can be used in a strictly defined time schedule. This event is triggered if a vehicle is being used outside defined time schedule indicating a emergency situation or possible unauthorised vehicle usage.

Geofence

Indication of route time schedule violation – every vehicle is constrained with an optimal delivery route time schedule. This event is triggered if a vehicle fails to execute delivery according to the specified time schedule. This can be caused by various reasons including sudden heavy traffic and weather conditions, vehicle malfunction etc.

Indication of touring plan start – all products deliveries and tours are described in the monthly customers touring plan document. This event is triggered when a vehicle starts a route according to this document leaving from a start point which is usually the merchandiser’s warehouse.

Indication of a completed touring plan – this event is triggered when a vehicle completes a touring plan visiting all customers and delivering all goods according to the touring plan obeying time schedules and given routes. The touring plan route end point is usually the merchandiser’s warehouse.

Indication of route time schedule violation – every vehicle is constrained with an optimal delivery route time schedule. This event is triggered if a vehicle fails to execute delivery according to the specified time schedule. This can be caused by various reasons including sudden heavy traffic and weather conditions, vehicle malfunction etc.

Indication of maximum speed violation – this event is triggered when a vehicle breaches the maximum speed limit defined by traffic regulations. This event can be also an indication of the driver’s risky behaviour.

Indication of unplanned stopping – the optimal delivery route is constrained by precise stopping locations which include stops at customer delivery locations, stops at gas stations and possible stops at accommodation locations. This event is triggered if a vehicle performs stops outside of this defined constrain locations. This can be caused by a possible emergency situation involving vehicle malfunction or driver health problems etc. 

Indication of maximum time of stay violation – during the optimal delivery route all vehicles are constrained by a maximum time of stay at defined customer locations. This event is triggered when this time limit is exceeded. This can be caused by possible goods unloading problems, vehicle malfunctions etc.

Indication of maximum speed violation – this event is triggered when a vehicle breaches the maximum speed limit defined by traffic regulations. This event can be also an indication of the driver’s risky behaviour.

Indication of unplanned stopping – the optimal delivery route is constrained by precise stopping locations which include stops at customer delivery locations, stops at gas stations and possible stops at accommodation locations. This event is triggered if a vehicle performs stops outside of this defined constrain locations. This can be caused by a possible emergency situation involving vehicle malfunction or driver health problems etc. 

Indication of maximum time of stay violation – during the optimal delivery route all vehicles are constrained by a maximum time of stay at defined customer locations. This event is triggered when this time limit is exceeded. This can be caused by possible goods unloading problems, vehicle malfunctions etc.

Indication of fuel consumption violation – all machines and vehicles are considered to generate an average fuel consumption estimated by considering daily working time schedules. This event is triggered if a machine or a vehicle wastes more fuel than previously estimated. This can be caused by possible machine or vehicle malfunctions.

Indication of machine time schedule violation – all machines and vehicles are constrained by strict time schedules. This event is triggered when a machine or a vehicle is engaged outside the defined time schedule. This can be caused by a emergency situation or a possible unauthorised machine/vehicle usage.

Indication of fuel consumption violation – all machines and vehicles are considered to generate an average fuel consumption estimated by considering daily working time schedules. This event is triggered if a machine or a vehicle wastes more fuel than previously estimated. This can be caused by possible machine or vehicle malfunctions.

Indication of machine time schedule violation – all machines and vehicles are constrained by strict time schedules. This event is triggered when a machine or a vehicle is engaged outside the defined time schedule. This can be caused by a emergency situation or a possible unauthorised machine/vehicle usage.
