Benefits
With more than 20 years experience in transportation service, a Taiwan-based passenger bus transportation company provides city bus,
inter-city bus, and tour bus services, and operates on more than 60 routes in northern Taiwan. In order to ensure both vehicle and passenger
safety, fleet management has always been the most important part of daily operations.
The passenger bus company required an in-vehicle device to be integrated with its fleet management system for its tour buses. In the past,
they utilized a simple tracking device that allowed the back office to know the whereabouts of each bus. However, this device was very simple,
and was unable to perform functions such as GPS navigation and road status reports. Also, the customer service center has been receiving
complaints about driver behavior that has put safety into concern.
The passenger bus company recognized that a new device with more functions was necessary. In addition, the device must be able to
perform monitoring, alcohol testing, navigation, and diagnostic functions.
The iKarPC 8” in-vehicle computer provides a stable and reliable system for the
passenger bus company to use for fleet management. Designed with a sunlight
readable screen and to withstand strong vibrations and wide temperatures, the iKarPC
is extremely suitable for harsh vehicle environments. Through 3G wireless connectivity,
bus drivers can maintain contact with the management center and route status reports
can be received in real-time. Together with the built-in GPS module, drivers are able
to navigate, and at the same time, the back office is able to track and locate drivers on
the road. Most importantly, vehicle and passenger safety is ensured, in part, by utilizing
a breathalyzer that is connected to the iKarPC through the RS-232 port.
