The operations support system uses real-time information obtained from telematics systems to support the dispatchers in managing the carrier{\^{a}}€™s operations. Messages sent from the vehicles are automatically analysed and actual data, such as exact arrival and departure times, as well as discrepancies between actual and planned data are identified. The automatically analysed information is used to dynamically calculate improved schedules. The underlying optimisation method is capable of taking into account that input data may change at any time and that dispatchers can concurrently modify the schedule.} }
