Competitive analysis
The liberalization of the transport market has greatly influenced the legislation and regulation of the sector. The absence of taxes at the borders - due to the creation of the Internal Market in the European Union - has speeded up the price war in the sector. While the salaries increase, the shippers requested lower prices for their traffic. This means that efficiency and better productivity are a part of a new strategy. The independent trucker becomes a mean for efficiency and higher productivity. In order to protect the independent trucker and to provide him with quality of service, the service centers were born. These act as a broker between the driver and his client and the public authorities. By this way the independent trucker can also take profit of the bigger scale provided by the service center. The aim of the project is to provide Truckers Teleservices with a low cost reliable and flexible broadband solution to their needs. Together with the adaptation of existing service center, designs to manage the network resources and Quality of Service, provide a billing interface; improve the operator interface and management of the home devices. The main objective of the project is to provide all truckers an integrated service center that deals with all needs transport can provoke. The use of ICT will be crucial in the success of these services offered and the Internet platform will be the transport mechanism for these services. The new Multimedia Technologies offer now also the possibilities of real user-friendly solutions for users those are not at all computer experienced. Trough the optimal use of the available transport means and their capacity a lot of targets will be reached. The competitive edge will be given to the smaller trucker and not just the big trucking companies. End to end services on the web, the user is no longer dependant on the systems of third parties, all information is available to the trucker himself.
