  1. Ubiquitous Transport SystemsAssessing the Mobile-Stationary Divide Magnus Andersson Rikard Lindgren Ola Henfridsson

  2. Ubiquitous Computing in IS • Emergent research area • Lyytinen & Yoo 2002, Jessup & Robey 2002 • Special issue of Information & Organization, IFIP 8.2 2005

  3. Ubiquitous Transport Systems • Ubiquitous computing entails opportunities for mobile organizations • UTS: Seamlessly integrated computing environments applicable to the transport industry

  4. UTS: Stakeholders in context Managers Drivers Dispatchers Administrators

  5. Research project • Collaborative effort involving researchers, systems vendors and road haulage representatives • Action Research (Susman & Evered 1978) • Dual goal: Change/improvement & generation of knowledge • Current status: Diagnose • Previous work • Interviews with representatives from 18 road haulage organizations • Expectations on UTS

  6. Recent work • An assessment of the Mobile-Stationary divide. • Focusing on organzations trying to bridge the divide. • Studies of instances of UTS in 6 organizations.

  7. Mobile-Stationary Divide • Sociotechnical barriers to the realization of UTS • Sensemaking in standardized communication • Organizational configuration in heterogeneous work flow management • Resource control management of mobile data sources • Overcoming these challenges is vital for road haulage companies seeking to interconnect various technological, social and organizational elements.

  8. Future work • Collaborative mobile-stationary interface standardization effort involving systems vendors and costumer organizations.
