The Location-based Knowledge Management System Development for e-Logistics Application

Because the transport expenses are more than a half the national logistics expenses, the increase of the transport expenses becomes the cause of an increase of national logistics expenses. To decrease of the logistics expenses, it has to develop logistics management application. Many Transport Companies are serving monitoring position of the transport vehicle, but the position data of the moving vehicle are not adapted logistics applications till now. For these reasons, the manager who takes charge of transport management must keep monitoring and analyzing the movement of the truck to confirm vehicle routing and scheduling. If the manager detects some problems, then he must notify the truck driver of the information or solution. But, it is difficult that the manager monitors the moving vehicles for all day. In this paper, we propose the Location-based knowledge management system using the active trajectory analysis method. This system uses an inference engine to generate the logistics knowledge that can be furnished to the manager. Key-Words: e-Logistics, Knowledge management, Inference, trajectory, moving object
