In the Province of Drenthe, in The Netherlands, a new navigation system especially designed for trucks is currently being tested. The device is intended to stop trucks from driving through small towns and city centres when this is not their destination. Moreover, it will lead trucks around road works. Hundreds of local transport companies will test the device over the next few months.

The test was initiated by the municipalities of Drenthe, the Province and the transport sector of Drenthe, following complaints that too many trucks pass through the city centres, and so they approached map maker Falkplan.

i-Move, by means of the AnyMap SDK,  supplied Falkplan with the basic components  for the navigation tool, which was installed on the onboard computers in the trucks. The routes are calculated with on the Falkplan server, which are then sent to the onboard units via a mobile network.

The system will be tested over the next two months. If it is successful, it will be implemented on a national level.
