With the DriverID
feature and the TrimView™ mobile
resource management solution, fleet managers can easily
and accurately identify drivers individually versus
by the vehicle they are driving.
Your vehicle operators
can use the Trimview Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) to log
in and out each time they operate the vehicle. Management
can then generate web reports detailing vehicle and
driver activity and utilize web-based administration
tools for managing drivers.
What Is DriverID?
Trimble Mobile Solutions’ DriverID
is composed of additional software within the TrimView
Mobile Data Unit (MDU) and within the TrimView Mobile
Data Terminal (MDT). When a driver enters the vehicle
and turns on the ignition they are presented with an
option to enter their DriverID on the
MDT, as shown to the right. DriverID
can be optionally configured to continually beep the
MDT until the driver’s ID is entered.
MANAGEMENT REPORTS
DriverID provides management with two
reports that assist them in managing their workforce.
The Driver Activity Report provides a listing, by driver,
of the vehicle(s) they operate, times of operation,
and cumulative usage. The Vehicle Usage Report provides
a listing, by driver, of all vehicle activity including
summarized daily hours and daily mileage.
WEB ADMINISTRATION TOOLS
DriverID also provides a simple set
of web-based administration tools for managing drivers
and driver groups. The ‘Drivers’ function
allows the administrator to set up and manage drivers.
This information is used in reports that show which
drivers operated specific vehicles. The ‘Driver
Groups’ function enables the administrator to
create groups of drivers. Driver grouping provides a
way to gather a selection of drivers and create a report
based specifically upon them.
OPERATING SYSTEM SUPPORT
The recommended operating system is Microsoft® Windows®
2000 or Microsoft XP operating systems with Internet
Explorer version 5.5 or greater.
REQUIREMENTS
DriverID’s functionality requires
the TrimView Mobile Data Terminal display. In addition,
the DriverID configuration worksheet must be completed
for each in-vehicle device or set of devices.
