RouteTracker
The Route Tracker is an Electronic On Board Recorder (EOBR) that combines GPS and Engine Diagnostic information for small, medium, and large vehicle fleets. The Web based GPS and engine diagnostic reporting suite includes Hard Brake Events, Speed, Idling, Odometer readings, Fault codes, Power Take Off (PTO), and Fuel Efficiency. The device installs in less than 10 minutes per vehicle and provides customers with options for Electronic Hours of Service and fully automated IFTA Fuel Tax Reporting. RouteTracker includes the flexibility to connect with multiple handheld devices such as cellular phones, PDA, or other handheld devices by utilizing Bluetooth technology.
TP Mobile Hours of Service
The Turnpike Hours of Service (HOS) application will run on any Windows Mobile, Bluetooth and Java enabled handheld device. The HOS application is easy to use and was designed to be viewed in a similar fashion as traditional paper log books. The RouteTracker device is directly connected to the vehicle ECM and wirelessly connects the handheld to the vehicle by using Bluetooth technology. HOS will automatically change duty status based on vehicle movement and is fully compliant with section 395.15. GPS and engine diagnostic data are key components used to ensure HOS accuracy. Vehicle speed, RPM, and GPS data integration validate this process. All data is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via a secure website that can be accessed via the Internet.
