چکیده

Fleet Management Systems are commonly used to coordinate mobility and delivery services in a broad variety of domains. However, their traditional top-down control architecture becomes a bottleneck in open and dynamic environments, where scalability, proactiveness, and autonomy are becoming key factors for their success. In this paper, we first present an abstract event-based architecture for Fleet Management Systems that supports tailoring dynamic control regimes for coordinating fleet vehicles, and illustrate it for the case of medical emergency management. Then, we go one step ahead in the transition towards automatic or driverless fleets, by conceiving Fleet Management Systems in terms of Cyber-Physical Systems, and putting forward the notion of Cyber Fleets. We illustrate the idea in the field of electro mobility, where we expect drivers of smart e-motorbikes (Cyber Vehicles), equipped with an intelligent communication device (Cyber Helmet), to coordinate in a contextaware manner as part of a decentralised Fleet Management System.

Towards Hybrid Reasoning for Automated Industrial Fleet Management

More and more industrial applications require fleets of autonomous ground vehicles. Today’s solutions to the management of these fleets still largely rely on fixed set-ups of the system, manually specified ad-hoc rules. Our aim is to replace current practice with autonomous fleets and fleet management systems that are easily adaptable to new setups and environments, can accommodate humanintelli...

Space-based Task Allocation in Robotic Fleets with Adaptive Autonomy

Networked robotic fleet consists of multiple robots with heterogeneous capabilities that jointly perform a mission. Due to the ability to distribute heterogeneous robots in a working environment and exploit their cooperation and collaboration capacities, it has been shown that utilizing a robotic fleet for accomplishing a given mission is faster and more efficient than using a single robot. Now...

Software Application for Remote Monitoring of Fleets Based on Geographic Information Systems Using Open Source Technologies

Controlling a fleet usually implies to establish means of control of vehicles, to collect the data associated with the routes taken by these vehicles, to interpret and evaluate the meaning of the collected data and to make the appropriate decisions to improve the efficiency in the use of vehicles in an organization. The implementation of this process of fleet management is mainly performed manu...
