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 Liverpool Airport (definitely not a job site for this particular customer).  Compare this graphical representation to the next report (summary text version) and you can see that in graphical format it is quicker and easier to identify anomalies in a two week period than it is over half a day in text form.

 

 

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 Liverpool Airport in this format (just for a day) than it would for the 2 week period in graphical format.

 

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.
