Why traffic information matters in transport
In a transport business, road conditions affect planning, delivery times and customer expectations. A closed road, roadworks or an accident in the wrong place can change a whole day of driving. The earlier dispatch sees it, the easier it is to choose another route, move an order or let the customer know in time.
This information is often looked up in several places outside the system that holds the dispatch orders. Traffic & Warnings gathers it directly in Telme instead, in the same platform as orders, vehicles and dispatch.
All important traffic information in one place
The interactive map shows current traffic events with clear symbols and colour coding. You can easily see:
- Accidents and traffic disruptions: get an overview of events that affect accessibility.
- Roadworks and closures: see where work is in progress and which roads are affected.
- Obstacles and weather warnings: spot conditions that may affect transport.
- Traffic information: access current messages and warnings.
- Road cameras: real-time information from the Swedish Transport Administration's (Trafikverket) road cameras.
- Impact level: filter events by severity, from minor disruptions to critical events.
Details when you need them
Selecting an event shows more information in a separate panel, including which road is affected, what has happened, how extensive the disruption is and when it is expected to end. That way the dispatcher can quickly judge whether the event matters for today's runs.
Because the feature lives in Telme, events can be linked to your operations: you see which of your own vehicles and orders are affected, instead of comparing a map with the driving schedule yourself.
Do one thing, once, in one system
With Traffic & Warnings we take another step towards gathering everything needed for an efficient transport business in one platform. Planning, dispatch orders, traffic control and now the traffic situation are in one place. That means better overview, smarter planning and fewer surprises on the road.
For the time being the service is free of charge, so take the chance to try it. Want to know more about the feature or see how it works in practice? Get in touch and we will show you.
