This report displays vehicle GPS odometer miles and compares them against a secondary reporting source, which can be fuel island readings, if integrated with EAM tools in ETMS. The report classifies the GPS odometer miles into the categories. It displays the number of total miles and hours each vehicle has traveled during revenue service . The report displays data for a default date range. Additionally, the report breaks down the mileage and hours by type, such as revenue, deadhead, paratransit, special, and so on.
Filter Options
Use the filter pane to adjust the values. Maybe you'd like to review information by Block (vehicles 'follow' the block in the schedule), or by Service Levels. Maybe you have questions about undefined miles and hours? Review each vehicle's miles and hours collection to assist with overall reporting metrics and needs. This report can assist with identifying issues with driver logins, and off route conditions, bus retirements, bus buys, PM needs, and more.
Benefits of Sorting Columns
The sort feature allows you to sort columns to easily review data sets of interest. For example, sorting to review miles and hours that were captured by fleet vehicles but not attributed to revenue service can be problematic. This report provides you with a way to quickly scrutinize GPS data collection at the vehicle level.
Importance of Reviewing Undefined Miles & Hours
Sort on Undefined Miles or on Undefined Hours to troubleshoot issues with vehicle logins (begins all data capture), schedule adherence and off route conditions. Undefined miles and hours are directly attributed to schedule deviation issues which should be reviewed and addressed. Issues may be on the maintenance side at the vehicle-level They may be due to operator practices, undocumented detours, or needed updates in schedule data ( may be attributed to the geofenced areas around stops/planners typically manage these on Geographic Tools in ETMS). In some very rare cases, it may be due to undocumented roads in GIS tools (mapping tools partnerships - new roads, and neighborhoods not yet available on public facing maps).
Click a column heading to sort the table by that column. Multiple clicks will toggle between ascending and descending sort. For example, click the Deadhead Miles heading to display vehicles with the greatest number of deadhead miles at the top of the table, as we see below:
