The interruption of information flows make processes non transparent and therefore increase the uncertainty within the supply chain. The trend towards smart phones and constant internet access make the availability of location- and content related information pervasive. Hence, LBS can be utilized in modern tracking and tracing systems to monitor vehicles in real time and also the goods loaded. With the integrated navigation systems in mobile devices it is also pre-dict the estimated time of arrival and react appropriate on unexpected events (e.g. traffic jams) All the data can be shared with other participants what significantly improves the transparency for the whole supply chain.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 96 pp. Englisch.
