GEOTAB is an essential vehicle and driver
productivity tool based on the GPS technology

• GEOTAB offers
• Precise fleet analysis and management
• Productivity tools and multiple reports

3

• GEOTAB solves
• Administrative complexity
• Vehicles and drivers
• Uncertainty of what is happening in the field
• Driver and vehicle productivity and utilization
• Vehicle abuses
• Bad driving habit (Idling, Speeding, harsh
  braking,)
• Higher maintenance costs
• Increases accidents occurrences
• Unauthorized usage

GEOTAB components
GPS module
GPS antenna
Driver interface (optional)
5
How does GEOTAB works
Geotab is in constant communication with the GPS
satellites.

• The information recorded includes
• Vehicle and driver identification
• Position and route of vehicle
• Date and time
• Traveled distance
• Speed, idling, stopped times
• Auxiliary sensors

6
Driver identification and vehicle immobilization
Driver insert the touch key into the housing. The
driver is identified and logged. If authorized,
the vehicle is mobilized.
7
Transfer of data Data transfer can also be done
through the key in seconds. However, in case of
lost key, data remains in the unit and can easily
be retrieved.
8
Data transfer
Data can also be done through radio
frequency. Transfer occurs automatically, once
the vehicle returns to base and the ignition is
turned off. The operating range is approximately
300 meters.

GEOTAB Study case

• Trial of 8 weeks on 6 sample vehicles showed
• Speeding
• High idling times
• Unauthorized vehicle usages
• Maintenance issues
• Fuel tax possible savings

GEOTAB Study case
CONTROL OVER SPEEDING Fuel Cost Each kilometer
per hour above 70 Km/h increases fuel consumption
by 1.5. Tires Tire wear will almost double at
road speeds of 90 Km/h or greater. Maintenance
Cost Increasing from 80 Km/h to 90 Km/h
increases the cost by 80. Accident
Probabilities risk doubles for every 5 Km/h
above 60 Km/h.
16
GEOTAB Study case
SPEEDING 1 instance of speeding over 130Km/h
7 instances of speeding over 115Km/h 66
instances of speeding over 100Km/h 79 instances
of speeding over 80Km/h 123 instances of speeding
over 60Km/h

Speeding

GEOTAB Study case
IDLING COSTS Fuel Cost Gasoline engines consume
between 2.5 and 4 liters of fuel per hour while
idling. Also, 10sec. of idling uses more gas than
restarting an engine Environmental cost Idling
vehicle emits nearly 20 times more pollution than
one traveling at 50Km/h Maintenance Cost
Increased mainly due to higher oil contamination.

GEOTAB Study case
CONTROL IDLING WASTE Ottawa By law 2004-253
No person shall operate or permit the
operation of an engine or motor in, or on, any
motor vehicle for a continuous period
exceeding five (5) minutes, while such vehicle is
stationary Further city plan Develop an Air
Quality and Climate Change Plan that identifies
ways to reduce the impacts of transportation
through measures such as anti-idling
regulations
20
GEOTAB Study case
CONTROL IDLING WASTE Over 6 days of idling (over
154 hours). That is 13hours per month per vehicle.
21
GEOTAB Study case
CONTROL OVER VEHICLE USAGE Productivity of
vehicle You will know if your vehicle fleet is
under/over used Unauthorized vehicle usage After
and during hours usage control
22
Unauthorized usage
Extra kilometers 133 kms on Jan 15, 2005 Stopped
for 2 hrs in Vankleek Hill
23
Unauthorized usage
Stopped at Lakeview Terrace for 50 min on Jan 03
Stopped for 15mn at Golf Course, Feb 06
Stopped for 2h36m at 71 James Byrne, Aylmer on
Jan 3, 2005
Multiple trips and stops

MAINTENANCE ADVANTAGES Better maintenance Better
scheduling and management Early warning low
battery voltage Maintenance reminders Oil
changes, Tire rotations, general repairs, Other
reminders Driver licenses, plate licenses, end
of leases

GEOTAB Study case
FUEL TAX ADVANTAGES Your company is exempt of
fuel tax while PTO is engaged. The PTO was
engaged for over 60 hours during the trial
period, resulting on a potential fuel tax claim
on approximately 240 liters. That is a claim of
taxes on over 1,600 liters per year per vehicle.
