Abstract: A research and development project using ten mobile computer terminals in gas service vans has been under test in one of the four divisions of the Long Island Lighting Company since May of 1980. The purpose of our project is lo test and analyze a system of high-speed bursts of digital radio messages between mobile service trucks and a micro-compuler at the dispatchers location. The mobile terminals display computer-controlled job assignments on a cathode ray picture tube in the service trucks that are participating in the research and development project. We believe this to be the first utility system which provides for a simple, easy method of transmitting codes back o the computer from the mobile unit for: 1. Job verification, 2. Completion codes, 3. Truck availability, and 4. Other vital fleet information. The computer controls the dispatch of assignments to each mobile device either automatically or by manual dispatcher control.
