Management system for Logistics Enterprises

The main objective of the solution is to help lorry drivers to achieve and maintain an eco-friendly driving style. This will help reduce emissions and save fuel, which in turn will help to reduce the overall costs for the providers of logistics services. The solution relies on a specific algorithm making use of GNSS derived information, as well as vehicle and routes specific parameters, to compute in real-time the actual fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. To enhance the accuracy of the results (especially outside cities and in mountainous regions), high-quality digital elevation models based on satellite earth observation images are used, to obtain an even more accurate calculation of CO2 emissions and fuel consumption
