Problem: Where are my crews? What are they working on? Where is my closet crew? How long it take to complete that job/inspection? How can I reduce my fuel budget? When will this vehicle be ready for an oil change? These are just a few of the manty questions an AVL/GPS telematics technologies can help answer on a day today basis to support City and County mobile Operations Managers. Solution: GPS telematics technology supports our ability to see crew/vehicle locations in our Enterprise Asset/Work Management System (EAM/WMS) operation map with updates every two minutes” says Vince Guillet, GIS Manager. AVL/GPS telematics can provide all City/County Managers with a constant and consistent flow of real time data and metrics to support performance driven KPI’s. Whether your crews are inspecting signs, hydrants or plumbing or electrical work, etc., knowing where you crews are, what they are working on, how long have they been there and what have they accomplished are just a few of the many questions, critical to all operations, that a GPS telematics system can provide without the need of human input. AVL/GPS telematics is a machine2machine (M2M) or IoT technology. The Internet of Things is the network of physical devices, vehicles, and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity, which enables these objects to connect and exchange data without requiring human-to-computer interaction. Set the business rules and collect a stream of consistent data!
