Government Vehicle Monitoring and Fuel Management System
Existing Social Problem
Government organizations were facing challenges with the use of government vehicles by their drivers. Many drivers were using these vehicles for personal purposes outside of office hours.
At times, they would drive at excessive speeds or deviate from their designated routes. There were also instances where drivers took government vehicles into restricted areas. Moreover, it was unclear which driver used which vehicle and at what times. It also appeared that the fuel consumption of the vehicles did not align with the number of trips and the distances covered.
Technologies Used
GIS, GPS, AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location), Web application
Proposed Solution
The company proposes installing GPS devices on government vehicles and developing a map-based software system.
This system would analyze the behavior of drivers and vehicles in real-time based on GPS data.
The software would enable government managers to set specific geographical boundaries for each vehicle, and as soon as a vehicle exited the defined area, alerts would be displayed on the map.
Additionally, the software would allow them to monitor the speed and driving behavior of the drivers and allocate fuel based on the distances traveled by each vehicle.
Key Features of the System
- Identification of each driver when starting a trip.
- Defining movement boundaries for each vehicle.
- Designating unauthorized routes for each vehicle.
- Setting the maximum allowable speed for each vehicle.
- Defining permissible operating hours for each vehicle.
- Assigning authorized drivers for each vehicle.
- Setting permissible
- driving hours for each driver.
- Specifying the maximum distance a vehicle can travel daily, weekly, monthly, and annually.
- Viewing the route taken by each vehicle on the map.
- Allocating fuel based on authorized routes to control fuel consumption.
- Viewing the travel history on the map for a specific time period.
- Reviewing vehicle movement on the map at the time of an incident.
- Alerts for using the vehicle outside of permissible hours.
- Alerts for unauthorized drivers using the vehicle.
- Alerts for entering unauthorized routes or areas.
- Alerts for exceeding the speed limit.
- Alerts for driving outside of permissible hours.
- Reports Provided by the System:
- Report on vehicles driven by a specific driver during a given period, including dates, start and end times, and vehicle type.
- Report on the routes each vehicle has taken, including speeds along the route.
- Report on stopping times and the duration of each stop on each route.
- Report on the vehicle’s movement, stops with the engine running, and stops with the engine off within a specified time frame.
- Report on vehicles that have been used excessively in a day, week, month, and year.
