Buckinghamshire Residents Track Highways Fleet Online

This first of its kind website will provide the public with real-time information and communications. They will be able to log on to the website to report highway defects, monitor progress of planned and emergency roadworks, track road maintenance teams, and monitor gritters and grass cutting teams in action.

The Masternaut-powered website will also provide an information feed to Transport for Buckinghamshire's Twitter service, allowing residents and road users to receive timely information about highway network disruptions. This will also update the public about the latest news from the service.

Live information is captured and transmitted using the Masternaut satellite vehicle tracking system, which monitors the Transport for Buckinghamshire highways maintenance fleet. Vehicle movements are displayed on the website in real time, giving the public complete transparency of highway maintenance and treatment work.

The system also provides fast response to urgent calls or web reports from the public. It allows office-based staff to assign the nearest and most suitable maintenance teams, with the right equipment and qualifications to deal with the problem. Jobs can be sent direct to team leaders' PDAs using Masternaut X Service mobile software.
