Results project market trends to 2010 and include detailed examination of available technology, including Global Position Systems, radio frequency identification, satellite and terrestrial tracking. The study, Trailer Tracking Markets, is available for purchase from ABI research (www.abiresearch.com). Aimed generally at the producer market, the study provides coverage of the major issues and drivers for the industry.

By coincidence, as the study was released, Qualcomm announced release of its T2 Untethered Trailer TRACS asset management solution which operates either with an AS/400 dispatch or Qualcomm web-based system.

The T2 offers features that include geofencing and alerts; position and event monitoring; position and event history; and reports on trailer status, event history and battery status, among others.
