Transport Management Services in C200 web server : An approach to integrate interactive services

Abstract: This report studies the possibility of integrating Transport Management Services (TMS) in a low-cost platform called Communicator 200 (C200). The platform is developed by Scania and is a black box that manages vehicle data, positioning, and wireless communication. The C200’s main purpose is to connect a hauler’s vehicles to their office system via wireless links and Internet. The thesis describes the design and implements a prototype of a service called Messaging that is used to send text messages between truck and office. The prototype is evaluated and tested with different web browsers in various hand-held terminals with different screen sizes. The main conclusion is that it is technically possible to integrate TMS in the C200 without altering the platform architecture too much.
