Connected vehicle applications

Connected car technology can be broken down into further sub-categories:

  • Breakdown prevention: Offering insights into wear and tear or issues arising to connect to a service should the car suffer a failure.
  • Safety: Driver warnings over potential hazards to adaptive cruise control and emergency braking.
  • Driver assistance: Partial or fully auto-piloted driving for parking or on the motorway.
  • Well-being: Vehicles sense drivers' state, like fatigue detection or even medical assistance.
  • Vehicle management: From MOT and service reminders to tyre tread levels, the system will notify the vehicle of its needs.
  • Entertainment: Usually integrated with a smartphone to enable the driver to make calls, connect with music or social media.
  • Commerce: Having the ability to purchase fuel, food on-the-go or pay for tolls.
  • Mobility management: Using maps to evaluate the best routes for fuel consumption or for parking spots

RAM Tracking solution

Using the same connected technology, our fleet tracking management allows you to see everything in one place. From the simple view of seeing where the fleet is in real-time on a map to being able to advise drivers where to go quickly in relation to work and jobs, to explaining to drivers why their erratic behaviour on the roads affects fuel consumption and the potential to be involved in more collisions.

  • Seeing driving times can also mean the system can work out private vs business mileage

  • Understanding our easy-to-use reports can automatically work out the cost of a job

  • Our points-scoring system can create a league table of who is the best/worst on the road

  • Idling reports can highlight drivers with poor fuel management, so you can address this

  • Daily vehicle checks can also pinpoint any parts of the vehicle in need of attention

By having all the data at your fingertips and all data tied to drivers and specific vehicles, hours of admin can be cut and significant transportation costs streamlined, making the system a huge money saver for any kind of business.
