Technological tools in support of transportation

The process of transportation, execution, and evaluation of transportation performance is a
complex task requiring lots of time for a person in charge of the traffic area in a company.

Planning capacities
TMS planning functions serve as support to
select the most convenient option before
placing a shipment, combining the parameters
of way-mode-carrier-service-price for all
available alternatives, generating complex
analyses in just a few seconds.

● Routes and itineraries: this function of

planning allows the determination of
optimal routes for company shipments
● Cargo planning: this function optimizes
shipment distribution, assessing dimensions, physical requirements of the cargo, and
equipment capacities.

TMS execution tools offer the possibility of maintaining close control of shipments. Currently,
thanks to technology, it is possible to maintain an uninterrupted tracking of cargo locations
by GPS devices.

● Cargo tender
● Status Tracking
 ● Delivery Scheduling

Analysis capabilities
TMS tools (analytics) allowing carrier performance evaluations, customer service, collect
information without a necessary counting system:
performance report and rating

Provides the possibility of evaluating and managing performance by creating a database,

allows the company to dismiss with recurring problems

freight bill audit: Keep accurate control of rates and contract invoices.

Transport security measures:

The department of transportation independently creates policies and regulations comprising
13 different branches (FAA),(FHWA),(FMCSA),(FRA),(FTA)etc.

the secretary of communications and transportation (sct) in charge of matters related to

safety regulations
decentralized organizations: they are separate bodies dependent on them, they are
classified as decentralized organizations, they depend on their mandates

● Mexican Institute of Transportation (IMT in Spanish): Conducts research,

technological innovation, formulation of technical standards, as well as further
education contributing to improving transportation safety, sustainability, and
competitiveness.
● Services for Navigation of Mexican Airspace (SENEAM in Spanish): Provides
support services for air navigation with safety, fluency, and order over the Mexican
airspace, guaranteeing quality and efficiency under the applicable national and
international standards.
● Decentralized organizations. These organizations are created with a specific
purpose, such as conducting activities of the State, however, they have an internal
administrative structure, independent of the Executive Branch of Government.

Decentralized organizations comprising the SCT are:

● Mexico City's Airport Group (GACM in Spanish): is a state majority-owned

company of the Federal Government of Mexico.
● Airports and Auxiliary Services (ASA in Spanish): operates, manages,
constructs, and maintains airports; it renders fuel supply services, provides technical
assistance and consulting, as well as instruction and research on aeronautics and
airports; it participates in technological development and collaborates with the SCT
on airport regulation, verification, and supervision.
● Federal Roads and Bridges (CAPUFE in Spanish): its mission is to recover the
level of service in highways to allow the movement of people and commodities with a
 modern, safe, quality highway infrastructure, aimed at contributing to the highway
sector and the national economic development.
● Mexican Space Agency (AEM in Spanish): its mission is using space science and
technology to address the needs of the Mexican population and generate jobs with
high added value, promoting innovation and the development of the space sector to
contribute to Mexico's competitiveness and positioning in the international
community, in the peaceful, efficient, and responsible use of space.
● Mexican Postal Service (Correos de México in Spanish): is the organization
responsible for rendering the accessible, safe, and reliable public service of
correspondence, courier, and parcel delivery services at the national and
international level.
● Mexico’s Telecommunications (Telecomunicaciones de México, TELECOMM):
offers modern, efficient, and safe services to address the communication and
financial needs of individuals, private companies, and government entities through
quality processes, state of the art technology, and reasonable rates.

Unlike the US DOT which distributes function by specialization in the mode of transportation,
the SCT concentrates the greater part of the functions of the Mexican Institute of
Transportation (Instituto Mexicano del Transporte, IMT) for highway, maritime, rail, air, and
multimodal transportation.
