Within the Fleet monitor view, you'll now have the possibility to switch to the Fleet Map. On this map, you'll have an overview of up to 100 vehicles and will be able to identify trucks that are waiting at loading or unloading places longer than usual. The fleet map also shows, if trucks are unallocated or don't provide GPS updates.
Access to the Map View
The map view functionality can be accessed via a toggle in the main navigation bar, where you can switch between timeline and map view.
Important: the map view is limited to fleet sizes up to 100 trucks. This is because we wanted to create a tool where dispatchers can specifically oversee the group of vehicles they are handling.
Main Functionalities of Fleet Map View
Map icons
Vehicle list
The vehicle list on the left hand side is the connecting feature between the timeline and the map view. The status of the vehicle in form of the icons will also be shown in the vehicle list and an explanation of the icon is shown when moving the mouse over the icon.
When hovering with the mouse over license plates from the list, individual vehicles are highlighted on the map with a blue circle. With a click on a specific vehicle, a window above the vehicle on the map will show more details about this vehicle.
To add a vehicle to an existing vehicle group, click on the group's name in the top left corner and select the pen icon to edit the vehicle group. Then you can search and add the vehicle.
Additional filters
On the main navigation of the fleet monitor a new vehicle list filter has been introduced next to the vehicle groups. The purpose is that the vehicle list can be filtered due to the movement status criteria.
The filter will be limiting the vehicles visible in the vehicle list but also the vehicles displayed on the map.
There are four different filters:
All statuses
In transit vehicles
No movement more than 2h
Unallocated vehicles
