receives GPS signals through fiberglass, vinyl and glass. This internal
GPS antenna provides long life performance and reduces potential tampering.
External GPS antennas are also available if required.
The GEOTAB GPS black box can
log 16,000 records into its on-board memory. This is the equivalent
of approximately 5,000 miles of city driving or 8,000 miles of highway
driving.
Wireless data download using
900 MHz radio frequency technology.
GEOTAB has the ability to do
special projects allowing custom versions of GO vehicle systems to address
specific requirements, for example attaching a barcode scanner to our
unit to record specific information

GEOTAB GPS DATA
GEOTAB precisely captures latitude/longitude
coordinates for customers zones and routing. No driver intervention
is required if ignition is always turned off at each customer site (captured
by ignition status). If ignition is not always turned off, an auxiliary
switch that will identify customer stops should be included during hardware
installation. This could be a door sensor (bulkhead or rear door).
The software screen to generate the geo-code stops is simple to use.

The Trips Log Report provides
a sequential summary of daily stops with Latitude and Longitude along
with the arrival date and stop time. If used with MapPoint, the report
provides an address lookup feature to assist in identifying the customer.
This report can be used to auto-create customer zones within GEOTAB software for Customer Visits Reports.

GEOTAB ZONE MANAGEMENT
GEOTAB allows users to customize
3 types of zones. An Area Zone is shown in red.
Area zones are for processing
driving rules (no speeding in side an area, no driving outside an area).
Customer zones are for tracking
time inside customer zones and for customer visits reporting.
Office zones are for tracking asset time back at a depot for asset optimization study of time at depot vs. driving vs. customer time.

Risk Management – summary
report of driving exceptions.
This report is a good tool to
compare efficiencies of number of stops vs. stop lengths in comparing
personnel performance. Commission-based drivers see this as a tool to
help them improve their commission potential by showing them how they
perform compared to others.
Idling is tracked for Clean
Cities (anti-idling) participation in applicable urban centers.
After hours use is also used
as an efficiency benchmark to determine whether specific drivers are
finding the assigned route to be difficult to achieve during standard
assigned hours.

Activity Report – summary
report of Driving Time vs. Idling Time vs. Customer Time
Another useful tool that is
simple to generate by any person. The report also provides distance
driven summaries, % time over speeding (70mph) and % vehicle used during
the period.
The report is the first step in comparing asset
use across a region for improved asset use
(time and distance spent driving, customer
visit time vs. drive time).
Report in MS Excel or chart format.
