An accurate, detailed map display showing the latest reported position for any or all of your vehicles Real-time data Vehicles report their position, speed, direction of travel and state of inputs and outputs
inca ‘Snail trail’ Journey records See the routes taken by your vehicles,
Archive data can be displayed
Inca CoOrdinator The Raw Data csv format, logfiles ready for Microsoft Excel, Word, Access etc.
Inca CoOrdinator The real power
Co-Ordinator’s Reporting Suite can produce printouts like these
Co-Ordinator is the office-end software and it is networkable Simultaneous usage by multiple members of staff
Typical GSM / Mobitex solution
inca Groups A large vehicle fleet can be split into groups Logged-on users only see what they need to see
Find nearest vehicle A point on the map is selected and the vehicles with the nearest reported positions are listed.
Worker safety - Panic button
Driver assistance - GPS positioning NMEA0183 output for ‘local’ positioning use
Vehicle security ‘If the immobiliser is ON and the vehicle moves say 200m, a silent ALARM message is sent to base.
inca - A ‘Black box’ for accident investigation The last hour and a half at 1 second resolution stored in non-volatile memory
inca What are the benefits? 4 Cost savings and efficiency improvements... 4 Reduced voice communications - “Where are you Dave?” 4 Increased vehicle security 4 Driver safety enhanced 4 Routes taken can be reviewed 4 Fuel costs reduced 4 Working hours can be checked 4 Unauthorised vehicle use spotted 4 Faster dynamic job despatching 4 Interfaces to 3rd party route scheduling applications
inca Why it’s the right choice... Inca is APD’s fifth tracking device, not a first entry into the market. There really is nothing to match it. APD and Orange have proven track records working with large, demanding organisations. Huge number of installed INCAs around the World, growing every day. Software is designed and supported ‘in-house’ by a team of talented engineers Captures much more detail than a basic ‘grab and send’ tracking device 4 inputs as standard on INCA (12 optional) for detailed vehicle monitoring CoOrdinator is networkable, allowing a wide usage of the system 3rd party interface allowing GPS data to be passed to other software applications Open communications interface for present and future wireless technology Volume production has brought the cost of this functionality down to reasonable levels. Now all types of organisation can reap the real benefits of INCA AVL
