The next generation of telematics. The rich and meaningful data you get from your fleet will seem like witchcraft. Inside your vehicle will sit an amazing device called the XDR. Designed and built by British engineers, the XDR will continually feed your Maps software with the latest information on your fleet. Capable of gathering the most complex vehicle data from OBDII, VSCAN, J1939, GSM/GPRS, on-board accelerometers and physical inputs, the XDR has been honed into a compact marvel. Once installed you won t see it. But you will feel the benefits almost straight away. Built for speed. The XDR can measure and store information on to solid state storage at 100 times a second, 8 times faster than your brain is capable of capturing and processing images.

Feedback, without the fuss. Asking someone to drive differently is a delicate topic. The criticism feels so personal. But we all know we could improve and that we have a duty of care to ourselves, our passengers and people around us. feedback removes the fuss and confrontation. An elegantly designed button the size of a British pound coin, is placed within the vehicle to display Green, Amber or Red indicators. A personal experience: My wife always told me I drive too fast. I don t speed, so her comments just felt like nagging. Once I had feedback installed, I realised it only glowed red when I corner, she was uncomfortable. I m not perfect and she was right. The colours are based on speed, braking and cornering behaviour. They are brighter during the day, dim down at night and are turned off if you are driving an emergency vehicle and the blue lights are turned on. Just don t tell her I said that... Mike at Maps. I.D, not admin. With extremely busy lives, the last thing you need is another thing to administrate and manage. I.D will use your existing business I.D cards and fobs to recognise who the driver is and report on their routes, behaviour, mileage and more. The latest in RFID technology will keep it simple. www.frooglemaps.co.uk

175,000 Fuel Savings Per Year Actual Case Study We have achieved a 17% fuel saving. We predicted 9% so we re doing much better than we expected. Business Challenge Graham Crow Head of Transport & Travel Austerity continues to hit public sector services across the country. Cost cutting exercises and business change are needed to cope with shrinking budgets. The challenge was to reduce costs through fuel efficiency and improve service frequency intervals. Secure and accurate real-time data is required. Fuel Savings Once installed, the economy of fleet improved by 7.3mpg, which resulted in 2,700 gallons less fuel per month. This is equal to a 17% reduction in the fuel bill and over a full year, a saving of approximately 175,000. Collision Reductions A target was set to improve driver behaviour and reduce collisions by 25%. So far reductions in both minor and major collisions has been reduced by over 50%.
