Fleet management, fleet control or fleet management describes the administration, planning, control and monitoring of vehicle fleets. This includes coordinating and determining the routes of vehicles (trucks, cars, ships, trains, buses) while considering certain influencing parameters. Problems should be identified, resolved or avoided altogether by fleet management at an early stage. Special forms include piggyback transport, intermodal and multimodal transport, which combine multiple modes of transport for the movement of goods.
