Getting Traffic Moving

  03/07/2009
Highway services provider Ringway Jacobs (UK) is rolling out a Microsoft Virtual Earth vehicle and asset management solution from Masternaut Three X. Combining real-time, live online tracking of vehicles and RFID tagging of portable equipment with PDA-based service management software, Ringway Jacobs is able to respond to emergencies within minutes, ensuring that appropriately skilled teams and the right equipment get to the scene as rapidly as possible. This reduces frustration for other road users as the crews are able to clear the highway and get the traffic moving in much shorter time scales.

 

Mobile unit in action

The system utilises both vehicle tracking technology and active RFID tags attached to portable equipment. The tags are read by special loading area readers fitted to the maintenance vehicles that link to the onboard Masternaut telematics unit. As equipment is loaded on and off the vehicle the tag is read and this automatically generates a visual inventory, which is visible on the Masternaut screen back in the control room.
 
When the Ringway Jacobs control room is notified of an emergency, the controllers are able to immediately locate the nearest team and relevant equipment and send the job directly to the crew leader's PDA via their X Service Pro system. The activity can be monitored in real time from deployment to completion via the Masternaut web interface. Once the crew has completed the job, the system and customer are updated instantly.
