Abstract: In 1988, the Energy Efficiency Branch of Alberta's Department of Energy launched a computerized transportation audit program. Its purpose is to identify possible savings in the consumption of energy in the transportation sector. In the first 18 audits completed, the potential annual fuel savings averaged 34 percent. The program consists of four segments: vehicle selection, vehicle maintenance, driver training, and vehicle routing. We concentrate here on the development and implementation of the vehicle routing component and its use by Scott National to save 10 percent of its annual fuel costs.
