Telematics ProjectProject Recommendation

Jim Wollbrinck, SJWC OES

August 2009

GPS Over Radio

Field to Map

OpenGTS

Truck to Map

OpenGTS

Project Defined

– Phase 1(2008 Estimate)• Pilot development• Test radio approach (multiple configurations)• Test data transmission (serial to IP)• Gather data on viability for justification of full

deployment– Phase 2 (2009 Estimate)

• Develop truck to operator identification• User interface and open source deployment

and stronger reporting• Deploy 58 units and current laptop GPS

integration

Benefits – Disaster Response

• Asset and HR tracking duringdisasters/Disaster Resilient

• Common Operating Picture Integration– City of Cupertino– ComOpView– WARN– Decrease incident analysis time by 20% to

40%• Know your fleets physical location

Benefits - Productivity

• Choose the closest vehicle to closestservice request

• Appointment verification• Improve driver moral as a neutral

information source• Improved Metrics Reporting

– Employees see their performancecompared to greater workgroup

– Improved time management

Benefits - Productivity

• Leverage existing assets– Current radio frequencies– USA– Valve exercise– Operations Pump Operator tags

• Incorporate GIS/Google mapfunctionality– GDI Portal– Street view– Traffic view– High resolution Satellite view

Benefits - RM

• Increased driver safety• Risk Management/Liability

– Validate or refuted traffic claim– Document driver complaints– Insurance cost

• Telematics can help to negotiate better with insurance companies andalso in the settlement for claims. Trucking companies can savebetween 10-30% of a fleet's insurance costs by adapting to fulltelematics solution. (Eye for Transport: 2009 Fleet Technology Report)

• Real time tracking of stolen vehicle

Benefits (Continued)

• Operational Efficiency– Crews can view resources and coworkers

• Decreased Fuel Costs– Reduce errant route and windshield time

• Capitalized vs. O&M Costs

Reported Savings

Aberdeen Group: Service on the Move-DrivingProfitability via Fleet Management

• 2.4.1 Case study 1: Ryder saves fuel cost by10-15% and one hour per driver per day

• 2.4.2 Case study 2: Knight Transportation– 22% Improvement in driver utilization– 18% Reduction in fuel expense

Risks

• Innovative use of radios vs. cellular aircards (Network Capacity)

• Equipment Reliability• Laptop GPS to Radio untested
