MtrackFleet
MtrackFleet is ideally suited for the fleet owner/manager who needs a real-time solution to control movable assets, drivers and vehicles. The solution boasts a wide array of functionalities for vehicle maintenance (service intervals etc) and operation control (real time fuel consumption, driver abuse, on board vehicle management, on board images, driver comms etc).
MtrackFleet forms part of the Mtrack range designed to address many of the operational challenges prevalent amongst commercial fleets. These include asset tracking and recovery, basic activity monitoring, reduction of the operating costs and enhancing the management of the Supply Chain. (As always, we strongly recommend adding an Mtrack wireless device if asset recovery is of paramount importance).
Features
Real Time Vehicle Data
Using its onboard dual receiver Global Positioning System (GPS), MtrackFleet provides accurate location information. Additional information includes trip data, driver identification, input status, output control, speeding, odometer and polled positions.
Vehicles can be tracked both actively and historically.
Driver Management
Active monitoring of abusive driver behaviour within the user-defined parameters includes excessive idling, harsh braking, speeding, over-revving, no go areas etc. The analysed information provides the operator with a valuable tool to minimize fuel and maintenance costs while maximizing safety. Driver Identification and Panic button are optional.
Zone Management
Monitoring of entry and exit to user-defined geofences. Geofences are software and hardware based (hardware based geofences handle the real-time alarms, and software based geofences handle exception monitoring in the web-based application). It also caters for categorisation (i.e. identification of customers, fuel stations, depots, POI etc.)
Vehicle Management
The vehicle data provided via CANBus includes essential information such as odometer, trip distance, fuel management, water and oil pressures, engine hours, service notification etc. (CANBus compatibility is dependent on manufacturer specifications).
Older vehicles (pre 2004) can benefit from input measurement via our additional analogue input unit (for fuel measurement and any sensor activities based on the normal open or closed circuit signal measurement).
Communications methods
A Text Display unit allows for unlimited SMS messages to the driver, and pre-programmed messages in return from the driver.
Voice communication can be obtained via the following methods:
- a)A microphone and speaker installed in the vehicle allows for inbound calls only. Calls must be made from a dedicated number.
- b)A text display unit with a headset installed in the vehicle becomes a fully functional phone with remote dialler. Call barring is set from the software.
- c)A telephone handset can be installed in the vehicle. One can limit outbound calls to specific numbers.
Surveillance
- Visual: Up to 5 cameras (still images) via an image processor
- Audio: Listen in on situations in the vehicle via an onboard microphone
Web based
