Abstract

AbstractContractors and equipment rental companies have started to acknowledge and use the telematics technology as a reliable solution for timely collection of their equipment fleet data. Telematics is the integration of wireless communications, vehicle monitoring systems, and location devices to provide real-time spatial and performance data of the fleet machines. Despite the large amount of real-time equipment data made available by telematics, fleet managers still try to identify ways to use such data to make informed fleet-management decisions. This paper presents the development of novel telematics-based computational methodologies to support two major equipment fleet management tasks: fleet use assessment and equipment health monitoring. First, a description of the telematics system and data used are presented. Second, a computational algorithm is proposed to quantify the fleet-wide equipment used, based on basic telematics data. Third, a health-monitoring framework is developed to estimate equipme...
