GoBus Hamilton 919
Captured by Don Roberts on Sunday, June 21, a view of GoBus 919, a 2012 M.A.N 16.250 with Designline B41D bodywork operating on Route 20 in Hamilton, and which was fitted earlier in the week with an EROAD System. Go to www.eroad.co.nz/ for an insight on this system.
EROAD was founded in 2000 by economist Brian Michie. He was joined by CTO Bruce Wilson, and R&D began on a solution that would modernise New Zealand’s paper-based road-user charging system. CEO Steven Newman joined the company in 2007 and EROAD began commercialising its vision to become a global GNSS (global navigation satellite system) tolling provider.
The EROAD system automatically and accurately tracks and records vehicle location and determines off-road distance travelled. EROAD has developed a proprietary electronic map layer, supplemented by a sophisticated geofence tool, to support accurate and auditable off-road calculations. Off-road travel can now easily be recorded to increase off-road refunds and improve cash flow.
If a vehicle has an EROAD hardware device installed, the EROAD system automatically populates and updates the U Book-It fleet pool with the vehicle details, which significantly reduces the risk of errors, and lowers administration time and setup costs.
The current booking status for any vehicle in a fleet is shown using real-time location data and the system can automatically cancel a booking if a vehicle pick up doesn’t take place. Reminders and booking confirmations are emailed prior to a booking, reducing the risk of no shows for pool vehicles.
The EROAD system is currently used by around a third of local and regional councils around New Zealand to improve fleet optimisation, health and safety, and automate paper-based processes. With the release of U Book-It they are able to make further cost savings by simplifying the booking process, utilising pool vehicles, and using booking and utilisation data to right-size their fleets.
