This paper describes the approach and flrst results of current research performed at the Telematics Research Centre (TRC) which focusses on a systematic approach to the analysis and (re)design of logistic networks.

The first part of the research aims at developing a reference model allowing the investigation of the application of telematics in logistics. This model uses a functional

Insight in these processes and their interactions as well as in the possible telematics services and their interactions is necessary in order to successfully develop telematics applications for logistics. In the second part, a method is developed for supporting the judgement of the technical, economic, and social aspects of the introduction of telematics, both quantitatively and qualitatively.
