Crossrail needs approximately 2,000 vehicle movements a day, supporting 47 construction sites across central London. To improve the projects logistics management, the VMPS was developed – enabling over 400 users to plan vehicle deliveries through a web application, recording real-time vehicle safety and arrival rates via Personal Data Assistants. This allows a complicated logistics task to be co-ordinated centrally: reducing traffic congestion – minimising the impact on London’s streets, increasing efficiency and improving vehicle safety by analysing and sharing information amongst stakeholders.
