EPC Vehicle Fleet Tracking Update NomenetaSaili GIS/RS Conference, Fiji, 2011
Overview • Updates/New developments • Applications • Future Development • Challenges
Update • 80 vehicles tracked • General EPC staff now trained to use the tracking system and access via web browser within EPC LAN
New Developments • Driver Identification system in place • E-mail Alerts • Schedule E-mail Reports
Driver Identification system • Allows reporting of driver identity via tracking system. e.g. Driver name, License Number etc. Tags are configurable • Uses RFID tag and Reader Tag Reader Tag
E-mail Alerts • Alert any EPC user via e-mail of when an alarm is triggered E-mail Alert Alert on System for vehicle number 200 when enter PMU Store
Schedule Vehicle Reports • Schedule the e-mailing of Vehicle reports to EPC Users Example Daily Over Speed Report e-mail to key EPC staff on a daily basis
Application • Dispatching • Driver trip log • Unauthorized after hour vehicle use • Power Switching
Dispatching Use by EPC staff to dispatch EPC vehicles to point of interest such as faults, meter reconnection/disconnection and new/repair streetlight
Dispatch Screen Shot Search Point of interest (consumer name, meter number, pole number) Fault Location Vehicle number 237 closest at 5km Job Log
Driver trip log • Replace manual/paper vehicle trip log
Unauthorized after hour vehicle use • System captures all EPC vehicles in operation outside of EPC Garages from 5pm-8am that are not authorized to work after hours
Power Switching • Use by Generation staff to coordinate power switching. Application map from Geoserver showing switch location and HV feeders color coded

Future Developments/Extensions • Mobile Navigation Dispatch System (pre testing) Allows EPC staff at base to send job to Garmin Personal Navigation Device (PND) in vehicle for field staff to drive to point of interest without the need for direction from base staff with access to the system. • Vehicle Access System Extension of Driver Identification system that combines RFID and Relay (Engine cut) to ensure the right driver tag is read before engine starts • SMS text alerts Alert Key EPC staff on their cell phone of critical vehicle events such as stolen vehicles or accidents • Fuel Sensor Realtime monitor of fuel use.
Mobile Navigation Dispatch System (pre testing) Send Job to driver from tracking system to EPC Field Staff Via Tracking Device - > Garmin FMI Cable - > Garmin PND Garmin PND Garmin FMI Cable Tracking Device
Challenges • Tamper A few tamper cases. Mostly new drivers who didn’t know there were anti-tamper measures in place • Lack of an Official Vehicle Use Policy EPC Vehicle Tracker is the tool for vehicle management but it needs a guide/policy to guide its use. One rule for all and not ad hoc rules that apply to some but not others.
