GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE FOR EFFICIENTLY VIEWING VEHICLE TELEMATICS DATA TO IMPROVE EFFICIENCY OF FLEET OPERATIONS
Data is collected during the operation of multiple vehicles in a fleet. Such data can be used by fleet operators for efficiency analysis and improvements; however, the sheer quantity of available data makes such analysis potentially difficult and time consuming. Disclosed herein are several fleet performance monitoring graphical user interfaces (GUI) that simultaneously display different types of fleet data to a user, using combinations of different data types designed to enable fleet users to efficiently manage their fleet by trends and exceptions, which are efficiently and graphically presented to the fleet operator. One such GUI simultaneously displays fleet vehicles on a map, alerts by vehicle, fleet uptime, and maintenance information. In at least one embodiment, the map identifies vehicles having critical alerts using a different color coding than vehicles not associated with such alerts. In at least one embodiment, the fleet uptime metrics simultaneously display vehicle metrics and driver metrics.
1 . A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions that, when executed by a processor, are operable to perform at least the following: displaying a fleet performance monitoring graphical user interface (GUI) to a display of a device, the fleet performance monitoring GUI simultaneously presenting to a user the following data elements:
(a) a first data element that presents vehicle defect metrics for a fleet of vehicles;
(b) a second data element that presents to a user idle time metrics for the fleet of vehicles; and
(c) a third data element that presents speed violations metrics for the fleet of vehicles.
2 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the fleet performance monitoring GUI simultaneously presents a fourth data element to the user, the fourth data element presenting total miles traveled for a defined period of time for the fleet of vehicles.
3 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the fleet performance monitoring GUI simultaneously presents a fourth data element to the user, the fourth data element presenting vehicle inspection metrics for the fleet of vehicles.
4 . A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions that, when executed by a processor, are operable to perform at least the following: displaying a fleet performance monitoring graphical user interface (GUI) to a display of a device, the fleet performance monitoring GUI simultaneously presenting to a user the following data elements:
(a) a first data element that presents vehicle inspection metrics for a fleet of vehicles;
(b) a second data element that presents to a user idle time metrics for the fleet of vehicles; and
(c) a third data element that presents speed violations metrics for the fleet of vehicles.
5 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 4 , wherein the fleet performance monitoring GUI simultaneously presents a fourth data element to the user, the fourth data element presenting total miles traveled for a defined period of time for the fleet of vehicles.
6 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 4 , wherein the fleet performance monitoring GUI simultaneously presents a fourth data element to the user, the fourth data element presenting vehicle defect metrics for the fleet of vehicles.
7 . A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions that, when executed by a processor, are operable to perform at least the following: displaying a fleet performance monitoring graphical user interface (GUI) to a display of a device, the fleet performance monitoring GUI simultaneously presenting to a user the following data elements:
(a) a first data element that presents vehicle completed inspection metrics for a fleet of vehicles;
(b) a second data element that presents to a user vehicle defect metrics for the fleet of vehicles; and
(c) a third data element that presents speed violations metrics for the fleet of vehicles.
8 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the fleet performance monitoring GUI simultaneously presents a fourth data element to the user, the fourth data element presenting total miles traveled for a defined period of time for the fleet of vehicles.
9 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the fleet performance monitoring GUI simultaneously presents a fourth data element to the user, the fourth data element presenting idle time metrics for a defined period of time for the fleet of vehicles.
