Big Data In Fleet Tracking
- Mitchell Kapor- Carly Fiorina
GETTING INFORMATION OFF THE INTERNET IS LIKE TAKING A DRINK FROM A FIRE HYDRANT.
“The goal is to turn data into information, and information into insight.”
WHAT IS BIG DATA?
Big data is any amount of data that is too large for a human being to process.
WHAT IS BIG DATA?
For fleets that utilize GPS tracking with their assets, big data can consist of...

The core of any tracking solution is the asset location data. Tracking devices can store a vehicle’s location data up to
once a minute. For a fleet with a number of assets to track, that means thousands of data points are being stored to
give you real-time location information.
TRACKING DEVICES STORE A VEHICLES LOCATION DATA UP TO ONCE A MINUTE.
Provides real-time vehicle and asset location on a map for live decision making.
Stored location data can be replayed to give a history of an assets location.
Location data with user-created geofence areas signal when boundaries are crossed.

Fuel consumption is a key contributor to overall fleet expenses. As such, fleet managers look to fuel usage data collected or calculated by tracking systems to ensure they are getting the most out of their miles.

Ignition monitoring opens up a number of additional features on top of monitoring a vehicle’s on/off status. It also
plays a part in identifying vehicle idling and unauthorized vehicle/asset activity.

Fuel consumption is a key contributor to overall fleet expenses. As such, fleet managers look to fuel usage data collected or calculated by tracking systems to ensure they
are getting the most out of their miles.
TRACKING DEVICES STORE A VEHICLES LOCATION DATA UP TO ONCE A MINUTE.
Fuel usage is calculated by pulling location, speed, fuel card, ignition, and engine data together.
Fuel card monitoring allows the fleet management system to pull data directly from fuel expenses paid on a company fuel card.
Diesel fuel is the largest operating expense for commercial trucks.

A major aspect of fuel consumption management is keeping vehicle idling in check. For tracking devices with access to
engine information, the time a vehicle sits motionless while turned on can be used for creating fuel usage strategies.

Driver safety is comprised of a variety of different types of data. From harsh braking to speeding, data gathered from
vehicle tracking helps identify positive driver behavior.
TRACKING DEVICES STORE A VEHICLES LOCATION DATA UP TO ONCE A MINUTE.
Vehicle speed is automatically captured during every location ping.
Incidents involving harsh braking can be recorded and logged in a system.
Driver safety data can also include information on driver performance and history.

Vehicle speed data is a valuable resource to fleet managers because it is a factor that plays an important role in things
like: driver safety, fuel usage, and shipping estimates.
BEWARE! TOO MUCH DATA IS AS HARMFUL AS TOO LITTLE...YOU NEED A CLEAR PLAN WHEN USING A LOT OF DATA
U S E R E P O R T SUse reporting tools to compile summaries of your essential data instead of parsing through never ending spreadsheets.
Focus on specific goals you want your data to fulfill and create plans for improvement. Data without purpose is just
numbers on a sheet.
ODOMETER REPORT Compile odometer
information and get a high-level view of distance
traveled for your whole fleet.
STOP REPORT A record of the stops made by
a specific vehicle or asset within a specified period of
time.
SPEED REPORT A report with a vehicle’s
speed over a period of time including average and top
speed.
IGNITION REPORT See when your vehicles were
started up and shut down, including the location and
time of each instance.

JUST REMEMBER...
“Numbers have an important story to tell. They rely on you to give them a voice.”
