Scania OnBoard

Featured in its own display area at the show, Scania OnBoard is an entirely refocused fleet management proposition based solely upon providing fleet managers with the information they need to run their fleets more effectively.

To achieve this, Scania OnBoard shifts the current fleet management emphasis from telematics and hardware to a purely information-driven service.  Accordingly, Scania OnBoard comprises three key core elements:

• Messaging to link a vehicle with its operating base.
• OPS, standing for Order Process Support, to monitor vehicles and their jobs.
• Driver Log to record driver-activity.

From the driver's perspective, Scania OnBoard is represented by a dashboard mounted touch-screen through which messages are received from, and made to, the operating base.  In addition to simple text messages, the driver responds to job scheduling instructions from his operating base by way of the touch screen.  To ensure safety in operation at all times, the touch screen can only be used when the vehicle is stationary.

The fleet manager can access the three core Scania OnBoard services from any internet-enabled computer via the secure Scania OnBoard Portal.  From here he can communicate with his vehicles by text messages or through OPS, which allows him to schedule, track and manage vehicles and jobs in real-time.

The third key Scania OnBoard function, Driver Log, offers the fleet manager a broad range of driver-activity information.
