TruckStops VRS can be used on its own, but there are add-ons for particular applications: ● TruckStops Streets offers street-level mapping, including precise information about driving restrictions.
● TruckStops Speeds and Speeds Plus give more detailed vehicle speed information (derived from ITIS traffic data) for different classes of vehicles at different times of the day and week.
● TruckStops Loads can generate usable loading plans for complex vehicle types, such as glass carriers.
● A version of TruckStops has been configured for use by pallet network members and there is a solution designed for full-load optimisation.
MapMechanics has related packages such as OptiSite (for territory optimisation) and StreetServicer, which plans multiple stops on the same street – eg for waste collection or meter reading. The firm also distributes a range of mapping products, which can be used with TruckStops – milk producers, for example, tend to prefer to use the 1:50,000 OS raster maps.
