@Road Licenses Autodesk MapGuide to Enhance Its Fleet Management Solution with Interactive Online Vehicle TrackingSAN RAFAEL, Calif., August 2, 2000-Autodesk, Inc., today announced that @Road, a leading Internet information services company that provides location-enhanced wireless Internet solutions for mobile commerce, has licensed Autodesk MapGuide Release 5 software (see separate press release). @Road uses Autodesk MapGuide mapping display and geographic reporting capabilities in its mobile resource management service, FleetASAP , to deliver superior visualization and performance to subscribers. With Autodesk MapGuide software, @Road's FleetASAP subscribers can view and better manage their vehicles' position and route history on an interactive map over the Internet or an intranet. Autodesk MapGuide is the leading solution for developing Web-centric design and mapping applications. @Road subscribers, such as PepsiCo, City of Oakland Public Works Department, and JB Trucking, can download the free Autodesk MapGuide Viewer from the @Road website (www.atroad.com) and view their vehicles' positions along with driver and other information such as speed, direction, and path history on an interactive map. Users can also personalize vehicle tracking and management by adding their own customer information and points of interest to locate their closest vehicles. A simple mouse-click allows users to access more detailed information such as street names and zip codes in seconds. "@Road has been working in partnership with Autodesk to provide a decision support tool for our customers, helping them save time and money," said Amin Mufti, vice president of business development at @Road.
