Abstract
To make the right decisions on investments, operations, and policies in
the public road sector, decision makers need knowledge about traffic
measures of trucks, such as average travel time and the frequency of
trips among geographical zones. Private logistics companies daily
collect a large amount of freight global positioning system (GPS) and
shipment data. Processing such data can provide public decision makers
with detailed freight traffic measures, which are necessary for making
different planning decisions. The present paper proposes a system
framework to be used in the research project “A new system for sharing
data between logistics companies and public infrastructure authorities:
improving infrastructure while maintaining competitive advantage”.
Previous studies ignored the fact that the primary step for delivering
valuable and usable data processing systems is to consider the final
user’s needs when developing the system framework. Unlike existing
studies, this paper develops the system framework through applying a
user-centred design approach combining three main steps. The first step
is to identify the specific traffic measures that satisfy the public
decision makers’ planning needs. The second step aims to identify the
different types of freight data required as inputs to the data
processing system, while the third step illustrates the procedures
needed to process the shared freight data. To do so, the current work
employs methods of literature review and users’ need identification in
applying a user-centralized approach. In addition, we develop a
systematic assessment of the coverage and sufficiency of the currently
acquired data. Finally, we illustrate the detailed functionality of the
data processing system and provide an application case to illustrate its
procedures.
