CrossCheck CDPD Applications
The Trimble Mobile Solutions (TMS) Division provides you with the
core products around which you can build systems and applications
for managing your transport and logistics assets.
TMS products and services address the need for an end-to-end
solution. They provide the building blocks at both ends of the asset
management system including the on-board units mounted in the
vehicle and the Trimble Web-based gateway for dispatch and control
applications anywhere.
The on-board components are centered on the CrossCheck CDPD
receiver. You can use the receiver as a standalone unit, or you can
interface it with external accessories and sensors to make it function as
part of an on-board system.
The optional EchoLDX Message Terminal provides a driver interface
to exchange messages or generate event reports.
The CrossCheck CDPD and applications can do the following:
• Automate vehicle status changes for dispatching applications
• Determine time spent and distance traveled on jobs for
accounts-payable systems
• Improve efficiency by detecting unauthorized vehicle stops or
off-route activities
• Improve customer service by alerting customer-service systems
of delays
• Drive compliance by keeping a time-stamped log of activities
• Improve safety by indicating speed limit violations
• Identify unauthorized use of equipment and detect theft
