Detect and find a stolen vehicle, FAST! While monitoring fleet activity with the WEB-CLIENT software you may observe that a vehicle is running when it is not supposed to or has moved out of a normal operating area. As soon as some irregularity is observed you can take action. This may include notifying the authorities. With the WEB-CLIENT software you can QUERY the current location of the vehicle repeatedly directing the recovery of the vehicle. MOBILE MANAGER can alert you of a stolen vehicle anytime, on your cellular phone. You can arm or disarm the VEHICLE UNIT to send alert messages to your cellular phone. Using the SMS, WAP, BROWSER ACCESS, or WEB-CLIENT you can set one of several ALERT SETTINGS for the VEHICLE UNIT. Events that trigger the alert messages are START/STOP, indicating any operation of the vehicle and EVENT/EMERGENCY where the VEHICLE UNIT has been connected to an alarm system on the vehicle. The settings you can select from are ON ALWAYS, ON TIME and OFF.
Anytime you leave your vehicle you can arm the MOBILE MANAGER to alert you that your vehicle may be in the process of being stolen. You can be across the street or across the country and still be able to foil an attempt at your car being stolen. The EVENT/EMERGENCY input can be connected to any standard vehicle alarm system. Not only will the alarm sound and discourage harm to the vehicle, but you can also receive the alert on your cellular phone that the alarm has been triggered. To have increased control over use of a vehicle, MOBILE MANAGER will soon include a vehicle starter enable/disable feature. Use the MOBILE MANAGER ALERT SETTINGS to disable the vehicle starter so that the vehicle cannot be started until the MOBILE MANAGER is used to enable the vehicle starter again. |

| UNAUTHORIZED USE |
IDA CORPORATION 800-627-4432 |
|
|
For insurance or operational purposes operation of fleet vehicles may be restricted. An example of this type of restriction is an employee who may be permitted to use a company vehicle to drive to his residence but is not to use the vehicle for personal use. Another example is unauthorized use of a company vehicle during off-hours by employees. If the ALERT SETTINGS are set to ON ALWAYS or ON TIME, alert messages will be sent to the cellular phones or email addresses programmed into the system whenever there is EVENT/EMERGENCY or START/STOP activity of the vehicle. When one of these events occurs the fleet manager receiving the messages can take appropriate action to inquire why a company vehicle is being operated during a time when it should be idle. This feature of MOBILE MANAGER gives the fleet manager real control that he has not previously had. It serves to discourage employees from using company assets without first obtaining permission. It can contribute to reducing maintenance costs and to longer life of vehicles or equipment. |

| DISPATCH |
IDA CORPORATION 800-627-4432 |
|
One of the ways TRAKIT
NATIONWIDE can help boost profitability is to increase fleet
efficiency. Critical to efficient
fleet operation is minimizing the number of miles traveled and time
required to complete the jobs to be done. The
WEB-CLIENT gives the dispatcher a visual image of
where all of the fleet vehicles are, anywhere in the Alerts from the MOBILE
MANAGER contribute dramatically to helping manage the fleet.
Knowing when a vehicle arrives or departs at a location can be an
indication to the dispatcher to make money-saving and money-making
decisions. These START/STOP
alerts can be sent to regular email addresses or to cellular phones.
The EVENT/EMERGENCY alert from the EMERGENCY/STATUS
BOX can also be used to indicate a status to the dispatcher.
The driver pushing the button on the box can say “I’m
available” to the dispatcher. Dispatching
decisions can be made from your desk or anywhere you use your cellular
phone! |

| MONITOR PROGRESS |
IDA CORPORATION 800-627-4432 |
|
|
When the fleet vehicles follow a regular route or sequence of stops the fleet manager can be constantly updated on the progress of each vehicle completing the route. As each vehicle arrives or departs each stop a START/STOP is recorded in the system. If the ALERT SETTINGS are set to ON ALWAYS or ON TIME alert messages will be generated and sent to email addresses and cellular phones in the directory. Using the MOBILE MANAGER to monitor the progress of fleet vehicles on a route gives the fleet manager constant updates on progress and the ability to make timely decisions and adjustments that increase efficiency. |
||
| EMERGENCY ALERT |
IDA CORPORATION 800-627-4432 |
|
| Know immediately if your driver is in trouble! An event in the vehicle can generate an alert that is sent to email addresses and cellular phones. The VEHICLE UNIT is attached to the EMERGENCY/STATUS BOX or some other 12V sensor such as a vehicle alarm system. When the event is detected a pre-programmed message is broadcast to email addresses and cellular phones in the system directory. The fleet manager knows immediately to take action, whether he’s in or out of the office. | ||
| SUPERVISE FLEET ACTIVITY |
IDA CORPORATION 800-627-4432 |
|
| Give your fleet the attention it deserves by using vehicle tracking to closer supervise operations. Efficiency and productivity of less-seasoned drivers benefit from supervisors with more expertise and experience. GPS tracking of fleet vehicles gives the supervisors the ability to monitor operations, to prevent errors or infractions and to provide assistance and advice when needed. Whether the supervisors monitor the fleet with the WEB-CLIENT or with MOBILE MANAGER they keep and eye on what is happening and can take appropriate actions whenever they are required. An additional benefit from closer supervision is that drivers become aware of their accountability. The natural response is to have a heightened motivation to stay on task. | ||
| TRACKING |
IDA CORPORATION 800-627-4432 |
|
| Get peace of mind staying in touch with how well your fleet is operating. Regular INTERVAL and START/STOP location reports to the system gives the fleet manager hands-on management capability on a virtual moment-to-moment basis. During the course of a day the fleet manager can monitor activity with the WEB-CLIENT or receive MOBILE MANAGER alerts for each arrival and each departure for each stop of each vehicle. In this way he is constantly aware of the status and progress of each vehicle. | ||

Each VEHICLE UNIT is programmed to one of several plans:
|
||
| EVENT/EMERGENCY |
IDA CORPORATION 800-627-4432 |
|
|
An input on the VEHICLE UNIT senses a 12V circuit closure to generate a
special location transmission to the GLOBAL |
||
| START/STOP |
IDA CORPORATION 800-627-4432 |
|
| An input on the VEHICLE UNIT senses 12V high, 12V low for capturing of stop records. Most often the connection is made to an ignition-on, ignition-off point on the fuse block of the vehicle. These records sometimes referred to as arrival and departure records are used by STOP ANALYSIS in the WEB-CLIENT and MOBILE MANAGER. | ||
| QUERY |
IDA CORPORATION 800-627-4432 |
|
| In normal TRAKIT NATIONWIDE operations, the location shown will be the last-reported location for the vehicle. Query will allow an authorized person to send out a request for the current location of the vehicle. This process can take several minutes to accomplish. There is an additional TRAKIT NATIONWIDE cost for queries. | ||
| MOBILE MANAGER |
IDA CORPORATION 800-627-4432 |
|
|
Use any cellular phone with SMS text messaging or WAP internet capability to access the TRAKIT NATIONWIDE vehicle tracking system. Inquire for the last reported location of a vehicle. Change the ALERT SETTINGS from anywhere to arm or disarm the alert message function. When armed, EVENT/EMERGENCY and START/STOP alert messages and current locations are automatically transmitted to email addresses and cellular phones listed in the directory. Current locations of vehicles can be requested with a QUERY. |
||
| ALERT SETTINGS |
IDA CORPORATION 800-627-4432 |
|
|
The settings programmed into the system will determine when EVENT/EMERGENCY and START/STOP transmissions will generate alert messages to email addresses and SMS cellular phones. Settings can be input and changed with the BROWSER ACCESS, WEB-CLIENT, cellular phone WAP internet access, or cellular phone SMS text messaging. Vehicles can be independently set or settings can apply to the entire fleet.
