## Why OTM?
In this day and age more and more information about logistics and traffic is shared over the Internet between
various parties. To make this communication easier the *Open Trip Model* specification was created. It is a
lightweight data model used to exchange real-time logistic trip data on the web, and to make it easier for
shippers, carriers, software vendors, OEMs, and truck manufacturers to create new multi-brand applications and
services.
