This report discusses the findings from the Remote Asset Visibility (RAV) system applied to Trailer #443 on May 5, 1998. Utilizing GPS satellite data, the ground-based communications network streamlined decision-making for load assignment, asset availability, scheduling, and routing. Preliminary results indicate significant improvements: driver wait time reduced by 50%, trailer idle time decreased by 40%, and calling and waiting costs lowered by 45%. The integration of IT2 technology shows potential for further optimizing asset management and reducing operational costs.
