GeoDecisions Launches Trailer Tracking Service in IRRIS_® Technology

(April 27, 2010/Harrisburg, Pa.) GeoDecisions, an information technology company specializing in geospatial solutions, is pleased to announce the release of Trailer Tracking Service (TTS) for military freight in its patented IRRIS technology.

In accordance with the Defense Transportation Regulation, Part II, Chapter 205, TTS augments the Satellite Motor Surveillance Service (SNS) to enhance the security and visibility of Arms, Ammunition, & Explosives (AA&E) and Other Sensitive Materials (OSM) shipments moving in commercial closed-box van trailers.

Defense Transportation Tracking System (DTTS) II, a module of IRRIS, was expanded to include TTS as part of the suite of capabilities offered to track AA&E and OSM for the U.S. Department of Defense. With the addition of TTS, DTTS II enables simultaneous and independent tracking of both the commercial carrier power unit (tractor) and the trailer. The DTTS Operations Center can receive an alert if a closed-box van trailer has unhooked from a tractor or if a trailer door has opened.

Prior to this implementation, the SNS only tracked the location and status of a tractor. TTS is a new service that enhances SNS and is designed to expand DTTS monitoring to include immediate alerting, in the event that a trailer is unhooked from the power unit or when a rear/side door has opened.

GeoDecisions' experienced staff of professional consultants, analysts, and developers supports clients across the United States. Fundamental to the company's award-winning approach is the integration of spatial information to empower existing systems and processes. GeoDecisions' philosophy is based on an enterprisewide approach to the integration of diverse information technologies, data formats, and systems.

GeoDecisions is ISO 9001:2008 certified for its operations nationwide.
