Telematics | Enabling Strategic Business Decision
Making…
Telematics is a powerful business tool which condenses and transmits complex
data allowing management to access real-time information on their mobile assets
away from the office, depot or service centre. Access to mobile data enables
management to address strategic and operational issues to improve business
performance. Cybit's range of advanced vehicle
tracking solutions provides operational managers with information to maximise
efficiency, improve productivity and reduce operational cost.
Telematics allows an extensive range of data to be passed to and from mobile
assets via wireless communication protocols through General Packet Radio
Service (GPRS), a mobile data service that transmits data over the mobile phone
network. This data is collated then interrogated by sophisticated software
systems that combine GPS location information with digital mapping to present
the information in a useable form for businesses that require live status
information or historical and event reporting.
The Global Positioning
System (GPS) is the worlds only fully functional Global Navigation Satellite
System (GNSS) using around 24 orbiting satellites to transmit precise microwave
signals, the system enables a GPS receiver to determine its location, speed,
direction, and time.

Fig 1 - Graphical Timesheets…
Fleetstar’s graphical
reports, At a glance, a user would be able to see from
the graphs below what time the engineer in question starts in the morning what time
they arrive at their stops and how long they stay there before eventually
arriving home.
Note: Grey is travelling, Yellow would be stops at customer sites, Blue – stops at other
locations, Red – stops
at driver’s home addresses and Pink – vehicle idling
Note also the ‘Select’ tab on the
right hand side which allows the user to select more detailed journey or
timesheet information for the day in question
As with all Cybit reports this Graphical
Timesheet can be automatically delivered by email to the required recipients
daily, weekly or monthly.
Fig 2 – Graphical Timesheet (1 Engineer – user defined time
period)
The graphical timesheet below
again shows that the driver starts reasonably early but you will notice more
‘blue stops’ – i.e. stops that are not at designated job locations. Simply placing the cursor over the block in
question reveals further information, in this case time spent at
Fig 3 – Summary Journey / Timesheet Report
The report below is an extract of
half a day from the two week graphical period show in fig 2. As you can see it would take more time to
highlight the visit to
Cybit of course
provides the option to see graphical, summary and detailed reports, all of
which can be automated to be sent to the required people at the desired
frequency via email.
Fig 4 - Dynamic Timesheet – Real Time
Graphical Display
In addition to the historical
graphical timesheets shown in Fig 1 and 2, Cybit is
also able to display this information in ‘real time’. The black vertical line (shown in this
example just after 8pm) moves from left to right as the day progresses – giving
real-time information about the fleet.
The orange blocks to the right of the timeline are future jobs (Cybit has the capabilities to import these from third party
applications – e.g. One Step or scheduling / optimisation applications)
This is an easy way to show that
all your vehicles have started work by a certain time and don’t arrive back at
base or home too soon.
Fig 5 – Summary Timesheet
The report below is another
example of timesheets though this time in text format, again this type of
report can be emailed to the required recipients at the desired frequency. Note the detailed tab to get additional
information for any of the drivers shown.
Fig 6 – Detailed Timesheet
The report below elaborates on the
summary information in Fig 5 to show what time and how long the driver was at
each location; additionally the cumulative distances driven for the day are
shown. This report is available in a
variety of formats which can show the time and distances taken to drive between
locations plus vehicle idling time etc.
Fig 7 - Drive and Idle time as % of work time
The report below captures the
cumulative work time over a user defined period and then displays the idle time
and drive time as a percentage of the total work time. Many Cybit
customers have found this useful to increase the productive (time on site)
rather the drive time between jobs. The
averages and totals for each division and also for individuals are shown (Cybit also provides the average for the entire fleet – not
shown here)
Fig 8 -
‘Average’ Timesheet report
The example below highlights the average timesheet. This presents the same column headings as the
Summary timesheet (Fig 5) but rather than for a single day provides averages
over the user selected time period – here the whole of February (not including
weekend). This makes it easy to compare
performance across the whole company.
The example below is for a fleet of circa 200 vehicles so there are over
4000 ‘man days’ represented on just this report. Even though there is so much information
contained here it is easy to see that Team 1300 is out of kilter with the rest
of the fleet.
Fig 9 – Partially
Expanded Average Timesheet
A simple
‘click’ expands the detail of Team 1300 to reveal the averages for the
engineers within that fleet.
Fig 10 – Average
Timesheet – Fully Expanded
Another
click reveals the data for every engineer in the fleet with further detailed
for the whole month for a particular engineer available by clicking the
‘Detailed’ tab.
