2 Describe AVL/GPS Project Workflow Details on Process Demo

3 Identify Requirements, Desired Capability Research Communications Availability Select Service Provider Select Hardware/Software

4 What are you tracking? Vehicle/Driver Cars Snow Plows Buses Equipment Construction Equipment Boxes Trailers/Containers Fixed Assets ITS Devices Generators

5 Capability Desired Alerts/Events Speeding Idling Harsh Breaking Crash Panic Button GeoFence Usage Frequency of Reporting/Visibility Needed Vehicle Diagnostics/Telematics CAN BUS OBDC II

6 Capability Desired (cont.) Interaction with driver In-vehicle navigation device Panic Button On-board notification (lights/buzzer) None hidden/covert Integration with other enterprise data/systems ERP GIS Data Incident Management

7 Capability Desired (cont.) Reports Performance Safety Fixed Asset tracking Movement On/Off Fuel usage Misc. Internal battery Accelerometer

8 Balance Between Desired vs. Availability and Cost Cellular/Terrestrial limited coverage Satellite - costly Radio limited capability E.g. Trunk Radio Wireless store and forward

9 ISO has grouped supply chain goods into logistic unit hierarchy Objects in each layer are handled in differently and have different requirements for each parts of the supply chain Necessitates different requirements for each layer (The Right Technology for Each Conveyance) Functionality Layer 5: Movement Vehicle Layer 4: Container Layer 3: Unit Load Passive RFID Short range (3-15ft), Lower cost tags, Read/write, Non line of sight Barcode Barcode Very short range (1ft), Ultra low cost, Read only Active RFID Long range (300+ft), High metal environment, Omni directional, Real Time Assured Data, Sensor/Security enabled, Affordable Satcom/GPS Satcom/GPS Line of sight, Global location Layer 2: Transport Unit Layer 1: Packaging Layer 0: Item Cost

10 So many GPS Hardware Options. How to Chose the Right one?

11 Choice should be driven by Requirements Cost Available communications

12 Simple GSM GSM with In Vehicle Interface GSM with J Bus Connectivity Satellite Only Multi Mode Sensor Options Fixed Assets

13 Low costs, high ping rates, limited coverage (GSM Network), logging capabilities.

14 Global coverage, limited ping rate, low hardware costs, low air-time costs.

15 Satellite Simplex

16 Global coverage, two way connectivity, higher airtime costs.

17 Satellite Duplex

18 Cellular and satellite equipped. Uses cellular unless not available, then goes satellite. Read and write. Location on demand. 99.5% coverage. Cost effective airtime for full coverage. Higher hardware costs.

19 Dual Mode

20 Event driven connectivity, Check in messaging, Multiple data points, Near Real-Time, Integrated with vehicle or Other Asset Locations Rugged, Small Profile, Light Weight, Belt Clip Locations every 10 minutes, Check in messaging, 911 Panic Button, Near Real-Time, Integrated with vehicle or Other Asset Locations

32 Large number of assets Mobile Assets Light Trucks Heavy Trucks (e.g. snow plows) Buses Fixed Assets Generators Water Tanks Mobile workforce Often operate in harsh environments, high risk Green House Gas Reduction Need visibility even in remote areas

33 Driver Behavior Harsh Breaking Crash Rollover Asset Movement Driver Performance Incident Management GeoFencing Offices Yards, stock piles Stop Optimization e.g. Inspections

34 Fixed Asset visibility Asset Movement Asset Utilization/Status How often are assets used Asset Availability Are assets used optimally Maintenance Driver - certifications Vehicle oil change, tire rotations, etc. Management by Exception
