An Experimental Analysis on Latency Improvement of Cloud-Based Fleet Management System

This paper presents the Cloud-based Fleet Management System (FMS) which increases the operation efficiency of the mining companies. By relocating the FMS servers from the isolated mining sites to the cloud, benefits such as fast initial deployment, extended accessibility, and remote dispatching can be achieved. A prototype with WAN acceleration technology is established between Canada and Japan. It confirmed the feasibility of the cloud-based FMS through response time evaluation.
