We transform the data held within the fleet tracking service in a number of different ways,
to help users quickly find the information they're looking for.
I/O graphs
Each hardware device typically supports several different analog and digital interfaces.
In some cases these are actual physical interfaces provided by the hardware, but we also
provide pseudo I/O points as well, such as speed.
The historical values for each I/O point can be displayed on a graph, which obviously provides
much more feedback than simply viewing a table of data on screen. It's also possible to combine
several analog and digital values on the same graph which can prove useful when a relationship
exists between those points, e.g. the opening of a door and the corresponding temperature within
a refrigerated unit.
Utilisation
The utilisation view shows a Gantt-like representation of vehicle movement over the course of a day.
Vehicle movement is clearly identifiable, and a single-click shows you the detail of each journey.
Two key types of utilisation view are available:
- The activity of several devices over the course of a single day
- The activity of a single device over the course of a whole month.
Territory plot
The territory plot allows the locations visited by different devices to be compared on a map.
The resulting display can be useful in identifying overlapping territories, or conversely
areas that haven't been covered by any vehicle.
