Tecmic continuously develops and innovates
its systems and applications aiming for the best solutions and
satisfaction of customers’ needs, integrating new functions
and benefits, and adding value to customers’ activities.
The constant advancement of our solutions ensures and protects
customers’ businesses and investments.
The current economic climate presents a serious challenge to
public transport operators:
- Increasing fuel costs.
- A need for sustainable development and protection
of the environment.
- Higher service quality standards.
- Pressure from personal transport competition.
- Reduction in the number of passengers.
- Professional merit management and evaluation.
- A need to measure and manage data and information.
- Technical advantages arising from renewal of fleets.
Eco-driver solution supports the implementation of new procedures
within public transport companies, endorsing best driving practices,
reducing fuel and maintenance costs while enhancing the quality
and safety of public transport users.
How
does Informer works:
Eco-driver supervises driving behaviour in order to manage and improve,
simultaneously, three trends directly influenced by driving style.
- Fuel economy and energy efficiency
- Transport Comfort
- Passenger Safety
The system integrates information received from the on-board unit and vehicle
system, and analyses it with the aim of generating reports capable of supporting
any management decision.
Besides these, a third application has been developed to manage and appraise
the operation of the service, its costs and quality level, instead of purely
mechanical indicators pertaining to vehicle or route.
XTraN Passenger Eco-Driver influences operational and strategic planning both
as a result of the information it generates as well as from the frequency with
which this is presented to fleet managers.
At the heart of the system is an interface that collects data concerning vehicle
usage and engine performance. The main indicators are:
- Brake pedal activation
- Instant speed
- Accelerator position
- Fuel consumption
- Fuel tank level
- Engine RPM
- Mileage
The proposed goals of operational cost reduction and higher energy efficiency
are accomplished throughout data capture and off-line driving analysis concerning
the pre-established parameters, providing information essential for improving
driving behaviour, as well as a safer and more comfortable experience for public
transport users.
Benefits:
Improved safety – promoting the best driving practices, enhancing passenger,
driver and vehicle safety.
Continuous efficiency – The information and reports produced by the application
allow the planning of programs and actions to continually improve energy efficiency.
Real time information allows timely decisions to be made which reduce fuel
consumption.
Analysis of objectives – By means of reports, a measure of objectives
achieved becomes easy and intuitive, aiding decisions concerning maintenance,
usage and acquisition of vehicles. |
