Fleet Management Applications

Operating a modern fleet of cars and trucks requires close attention to optimizing routing and vehicle to ensure the least impact of fluctuating fuel costs and inefficient driver behavior. Fleet operators must find ways to satisfy the needs of their customers while lowering risk and maintaining tight control over operational costs. Innovative new in-vehicle location and operating condition monitoring solutions allow fleet managers to view real-time data about their material goods, deliveries, and workers.

Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL)
Once satisfied with simply seeing field vehicles as dots on a map, today’s AVL customers are far more sophisticated. Features such as dynamic IP address management, advanced power management, discrete inputs, messaging, and mileage calculations are some of the capabilities customers have come to expect. Sierra Wireless in-vehicle modems offer independent GPS systems and interoperate with a variety of tools and utilities to provide the information and functionality required for today's AVL applications.

Routing
Crisscrossing a metropolitan area can quickly increase fuel costs, add wear-and-tear, and lower the productivity of your fleet. Modern geospatial-aware work order and routing software and wireless transmits real-time dynamic route instructions and congestion avoidance information to drivers, increasing productivity and improving customer satisfaction.  Mobile Electron can provide the in-vehicle telemetry equipment to ensure releiable communications between the fleet and HQ.

Load Monitoring
Produce, electronic equipment and other sensitive cargo must be handled well during shipment to not damage it. Using wireless mesh networking sensors and wireless data access systems, Mobile Electron can outfit your trailers with a real-time cargo condition monitoring system to ensure and document that transport environmental requirements were met.
