Research and Studies

• Vehicles data recording technologies

Vehicles Data Recording Technologies

• Information has been sensed, recorded and off loaded from commercial vehicles for almost twenty years.

• The recorded information is used to improve driver safety, help diagnose problems, improve the efficiency of logistics for the fleet, and reduce operating costs.

• There are two recording technologies:

1. Tachograph

2. Tacholink

4


• The tachograph is a device that graphically records the time and engine speed

• There are two types:

1. Analogue

2. Digital

Vehicles Data Recording Technologies (cont,)

Tachograph Technology

The recordings are done on graph paper, most often installed from the front of the unit. An ink pen records the engine speed on circular graph paper that is automatically advanced according to the internal clock of the tachograph. Graph paper is removed on a regular basis and maintained by the fleet for government records.

Unlike the analogue Tachograph system, there is no need to fill out a “centerfield” at the beginning and end of every working day or whenever you change vehicles during a work period. The recorded data are combined from the drivers’ digital smartcard with the information downloaded from vehicle unit.

• Tachomaster software is used for Tachograph.• It is internet based software• All the data will be stored on RENAULT website with

privacy policy.• It generates many reports which may help the fleet

manager to analyze the driver performance and the vehicle utilization.

• Such as: driver utilization, vehicle faults and events, vehicle speed graph, vehicle utilization and wages by site reports.

• Analogue type requires:

1. Tachograph scanner (₤ 570)

2. Tachograph charts (₤ 2.39, package100 chart)

• Digital type requires:

1. Driver smart card

2. Company card

• Tachomaster software costs:

1. ₤ 1 per driver per week

2. ₤ 0.5 per vehicle per week

In addition to the vehicle unit price. If there are no times entered for the week for a Worker or Vehicle no charges will be paid for that week


Tachograph Technology (cont,)

• It is a rather less complicated Electronic Tachograph which does not require driver interaction. It is mounted at any convenient position in a vehicle and can be positioned in order to prevent access by unauthorized persons.

• Recorded data:Speed, Hours Driven, Rest Time,

RPM, Heavy Braking, Fast Acceleration,

Accident Report, Last Minute Log, Idle Time, Date and Time, Loads, Speed Alert, Trip Meters and Fuel

Consumption


Tacholink Technology

• Ability of accidents investigation • TachoMe software is used with this technology• It generates many reports which may help the fleet

manager to analyze the driver performance and the vehicle utilization.

• TachoMe generates many reports such as: Main Activity Report, Exception Report, Trip Summary and Fleet Vehicle Report

• GPS and RF are optional features.• It doesn't require more than TachoMe and the vehicle

unit.


Tacholink Technology (cont,)

Conclusion:• Tacholink is better than Tachograph because:1. It is cheaper than Tachograph

2. It records data more relevant to our analytical needs and requirements than Tachograph does.

3. VEOLIA already has Tacholink software “ TachoMe”

• So, we have to provide all the fleet with this device improving its utilization and monitoring drivers’ behavior to:

1. Decrease breakdowns cost

2. Decrease spare parts consumption cost

3. Decrease oil & fuel consumption cost

Research and Studies

• Vehicles data recording technologies• Applying Business Intelligence (BI)

11


Applying Business Intelligence

What is BI?It is the improvement of organizations leading to better, faster and

more relevant decisions using a suite of applications that provide:• Access to disparate operational data.• Powerful business analytics• Extensive visualization tools (charting)• Secure enterprise reporting environment

To answer questions like:

1. Which services are the most profitable?

2. How can non-profitable services become profitable?

3. What KPIs determine their profitability?

12


BI benefitsVEOLIA will gain a lot of benefits by applying BI technology like:• The whole organization data sources integration• Scalability of analysis options by drilling down or drilling up through the data • Fast, accurate and reliable decisions

These benefits will lead to:

1. Whole organization cost reduction

2. Quality level increase

3. Customer satisfaction increase

Like many other international organizations have already done

BI tools for analysis OLAP and Data Mining

Applying Business Intelligence (cont,)

13


1. On Line Analytical Processing “OLAP”

It is the Fast Analysis of Shared Multidimensional Information FASMI

2. Data Mining

(sometimes called data or knowledge discovery) is the process of analyzing data from different perspectives and summarizing it into useful information - information that can be used to increase revenue, cuts costs, or both

• There are two key parts in using BI technology to help businesses analyze their data :

1. The BI platform (like MS SQL Server)

2. End-user (decision makers) tools like MS Excel and its add-ins

• MS SQL Server provides multi services: data integration and warehousing, analysis and reporting.

Data Mining Add-ins:• Table Analysis Tools• Data Mining for Client• Data Mining Templates for MS Visio

OLAP Demonstration


17


• The reports obtained by data mining different applied techniques like regression and clustering, can be used in:

1. Determining the KPIs of any service I provide. And using data mining template for Visio add-in, a digital dashboard can be created.

2. “Scenario analysis” determining how to achieve a specific goal (goal seeking) and analyzing different “what if..” situations.


18


What if I have decreased the number of routes ?

What if I have increased the number of bins in this route?


Cost Service LevelAnswered by OLAP and Data Mining add-ins as values.

Depends on try and error and monitoring the situation.

19


Integration of GIS and OLAP was created to:• Answer “where” questions • Deal with spatial data

How GIS benefits BI?

Conclusion:• VEOLIA already has SQL Server 2005 standard edition which

supports all the previously mentioned services.• IT department will have a significant role in this project implementation

that system administrators will be responsible for:

1. Databases structure and maintenance

2. System security and log in permissions

3. Data cubes building , updating and maintenance
