SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ANALYZING THE USE OF MOBILE RESOURCES
First Claim
1. A system for analyzing the use of a mobile resource comprising:
- a central processing unit adapted to receive a plurality of geographic locations and create an optimal travel route between the geographic locations;
an analyzer device incorporating global positioning satellite (GPS) technology being positionable with a mobile resource for comparing an actual route traveled by said mobile resource with the optimal travel route created by said central processing unit.

Abstract
A system for analyzing the use of a mobile resource, such as a vehicle, includes a central processing unit adapted to receive a plurality of geographic locations and create an optimal travel route between the geographic locations, and an analyzer device incorporating global positioning satellite (GPS) technology being positionable with a mobile resource for comparing an actual route traveled by the mobile resource with the optimal travel route created by the central processing unit. The central processing unit includes mobile resource management software stored therein adapted to use pre-selected criteria for creating the optimal travel route. The pre-selected criteria may include time, distance, cost, load parameters, territory, and customer requirements.
