Real Time Information is the Key to Speed
Efficient data capture techniques, and real time radio frequency (RF) communication systems when integrated into transportation systems will prevent information delays from slowing commodity movement and enhance customer service levels. Information is then relayed immediately to the decision support systems at the hubs.

Paper-based messaging using PDF417 2D barcodes, allows drivers to accurately input entire bills of lading in less than one second, allowing shippers to encode an entire bill of lading in a symbol about two inches square. Once the driver captures the information, it can be relayed to the hub staff using a variety of wide-area, radio-based techniques. Information no longer languishes in truck cabs waiting for the mad rush at the end of the day.

Real time information systems allow transportation companies to dramatically improve all phases of their operations, from pickup through hub operations to deliveries.

Areas that can be drastically re-vamped are
· Field Operations
· Planning
· Routing
· Hub and Yard Operations
· Cross Docking
· Shipment Tracking
