The aim of the Meteo Value Live project is to support trucking companies and long-distance bus companies in route and deployment planning so that the arrival of deliveries and passenger buses at their destination can be better planned. This includes storm forecasts and forecasts of parking space availability (as a further development of the project “Intelligent Truck Parking ITP” mFUND).

Within the project, four components are being developed to improve supply chains and bus connections:

1. Specific routing solutions for trucks and buses, taking into account weather and parking space parameters,

2. an intelligent system that analyzes the effects of weather conditions on the driving speed of trucks and long-distance buses,

3. a support system that helps dispatchers to identify the right strategy depending on the situation

4. a dashboard that provides an overview of the weather and parking situation and displays critical tours

In addition, the technologies developed and used in the project make a significant contribution to reducing the number of “misplaced” trucks and buses, reducing greenhouse gas emissions through trip optimization, and finally to increasing road safety by warning of weather-related impairments such as black ice.
