In-cab Navigation & Reporting

The in-cab solution provides audio and visual turn-by-turn navigation instructions and service-specific instructions such as, “blast grit” and “increase spread rate” for winter maintenance and “assisted collection” or “customer on stop” for waste collection.

RouteSmart Navigator also allows drivers to report back service issues using the in-cab touchscreen device.

There is a location only mode option (no navigation instructions but with visual and audio service notes).

Additional tracking services with online views of live routes available.

According to Mark Mohun, Business Analyst at Newcastle City Council:

“… we can send out any driver on any route and know that it is being covered properly, and actually have the system tell us what the status is of any particular route. If a section is missed the driver is guided back to complete it unless he inputs data explaining why it is not possible to cover that section. We can also update the routes as the road system changes and as our winter equipment profile changes.”
