Introduction
In the face of economic recession, and with the recent fluctuation of global fuel prices it has become an increasingly important task for dispatchers to come up with solutions for maximizing fuel efficiency and reducing operation costs. More and more, dispatch clients are not satisfied having only an AVL (Automatic Vehicle Locator) device as their main vehicle tracking system. Additionally, they are seeking more sophisticated, value-add devices to aid in navigation, two-way interaction between driver and dispatcher, and data collection from vehicle performance metrics, so that they can also maximize fuel usage.
Solution
One client in Taiwan decided to implement Advantech's mobile data terminalsolution, allowing dispatchers to log into their backend databases and to provide easier fleet tracking. The solution, especially suitable for long-haul trucks, enables companies to efficiently schedule and track deliveries in real time. Advantech's mobile data terminal solution exceeds customer expectations by helping companies cut excess fuel use in order to avoid:
n Vehicles traveling outside planned routes
n Unauthorized side trips or after-hours vehicle use
n Speeding or excessive engine idling time
n Lack of proper maintenance / inefficient engine operation
With the mobile data terminal display, drivers have real-time and efficient communication with their service centers, eliminating the need for them to report location by mobile phone. With Advantech's solution, driver safety is improved. Clients no longer need to implement one AVL tracking system and another GPS navigation system; the Advantech solution provides everything they need!
