GPS Vehicle Tracking…
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.
