Positioning systems, combined with inexpensive communication technologies, open interesting possibilities to implement real-time applications that monitor vehicles and support decision making. This paper first discusses basic requirements for proactive real-time monitoring applications. Then, it describes how to structure and geo-reference unstructured text information available on the Internet, with a focus on road conditions change and using available geocoding services. Lastly, the paper outlines an application that monitors a fleet of trucks and incorporates proactive features.
