Here is why India needs school bus tracking software: In 1997, a fully-crammed school bus fell off a bridge and into the Yamuna river in Delhi.  Twenty-eight children lost their lives in that accident.  Not so long after, the Supreme Court of India published strict guidelines for safer school bus transportation.   According to the SC guidelines: The name of the school and a valid contact number of the school administrator should be written on the school buses Every school bus must have a first-aid box and a fire extinguisher. School bus drivers should have a valid l ..read more

 Save big on fuel expenses with fleet management software Fuel expenses continue to trouble fleet managers more than anything. Even today, fuel continues to be at the top of a fleet owner’s expense list.  As your transportation business grows, your fuel expenses will grow too. Unless you’re using fleet management software, you’ll find that your fuel bills are always higher than they need to be.  You won’t know how much fuel gets consumed by your fleet. You won’t be able to compare fuel refills against drains.  Or even worse.  You will never be able to detect fue ..read more

1. Fleet Management (FM) ……refers to ‌the process of accessing vehicle-related information in real-time and reacting to it. Knowing where your fleet is, how soon it will arrive at its destination, how fast are your drivers going, and what’s causing a delay?  Fleet management is all about remote surveillance, revaluation, and reaction. For example, on receiving intelligence about a vehicle accident, you contact the driver and dispatch another fleet to complete the delivery—and that is fleet management for you! You notice one of your vehicles running low on fuel and send details to the nea ..read more

Roads are unpredictable. You never know what road is going to lead you or your drivers into an unfortunate accident. While we can’t control how other people drive, we can certainly monitor our own driving behavior and practice safe driving habits from the moment we turn on our vehicle’s ignition. The rising costs of accidents, the inconvenience of legal proceedings, and time-consuming insurance claims are exhausting fleet managers. This is why we have got just the right solution to help fleet managers react immediately to road crashes.  With Uffizio’s fleet management system, you get ..read more

ADAS is an acronym for Advanced Driver Assistant technologies. It uses sensors and cameras to enhance fleet safety. It can also help drivers navigate safely through rush-hour roads as well as long highway hours. ADAS predicts a possible collision and warns drivers about it. Here’s a list of warnings that can be generated by ADAS. Keep reading to learn what they mean: 1. Forward Collision Warning (FCW) With the help of road-facing cameras and sensors, ADAS scans the road and traffic conditions. If your vehicle is too close to the car ahead of you and yet you continue traveling at a speed at w ..read more

Dashcams (dashboard cameras) are video recording devices mounted on the dashboards of fleets. AI dashcams can capture high-definition videos of critical moments and trigger notifications. Minutes after any road accident, fleet managers can access video evidence with the help of dashcams.  What are dashcams? In-fleet connectivity and advanced driver assistance technologies have enhanced the utility of dashcams—making them more accessible and user-friendly than ever. Dashcams or dashboard cameras are video recording devices mounted on the dashboards of commercial fleets. Although to be fai ..read more

What is GPS?  The GPS is a satellite-based navigation system that can precisely tell you where you are. Satellites that orbit the earth are continuously sending signals back to earth. Once the receiver gets these signals from 4 or more satellites—it can figure out where you are or what speed you’re traveling. Today, with the help of GPS, businesses like logistics and FMCG have minimized their losses. Besides being your navigation buddy, GPS has allowed users to track their vehicles in real-time, estimate ETAs, and enhance on-road safety. How does the GPS work? 31 artificial satellites c ..read more

Video telematics is the process of capitalizing on data collected from fleet cameras or dashcams. Rear-view, side-view, and driver-facing cameras get hooked onto a telematics platform that can enable data transmission and analysis in real-time. As a result, fleet managers can view their drivers from the comfort of their homes. The older generations of dashcams were typically used for collision or post-crash analysis. However, the advent of machine learning (MV) and artificial intelligence (AI) has changed everything. AI dashcams or ADAS technologies deploy sensors that recognize traffic signs ..read more

What is smart mobility? Why do we need it? Synonymous with ride-sharing & car-pooling, smart mobility aims to explore alternate modes of transportation—so urbanites can get from one place to another more efficiently. It is the coming together of technology, different modes of transportation, and infrastructure. Hence, smart mobility can be defined as a conscientious switch to shared or ecological modes of transportation—to reduce the number of private-owned vehicles.  Owing to rapid urbanization and population boom, roads and highways have been more congested than ever. In a yea ..read more

If you are a business that offers transportation services to your employees, then this use case is for you. Recently at Uffizio, we designed an application that helps users track their employees’ commute trips and traveling distances. It starts with assigning QR codes to corporate vehicles. This functionality can be seen under the Object Overview Screen. Employees need to scan these before and after a trip using Uffizio’s application. Each employee is given a unique identification number with which they can log into the application. Once they scan the QR code, the trip status is set to start ..read more
