New comparison graph capabilities

Category: Ease of use,Graphs,New Features,New Featuresrdonat @ 3:45 pm

We have been adding several useful graphs and this is the newest one you can put on your dashboard.

It shows the difference between 2 groups of vehicles in terms of mileage, idle hours, and speeding activity.

Here’s how you can change it to be scaled on a per-vehicle basis rather than a group total basis:

Show graphs based on per-vehicle data, not the group total

Show graphs based on per-vehicle data, not the group total

And if you un-check certain vehicles, it changes the graph’s numbers accordingly:

Uncheck certain vehicles to exclude them from the graph

Uncheck certain vehicles to exclude them from the graph

And last, you can change the groups in question just by changing them in the pull-down menu in the vehicle selector or in the “Reference Group” area:

Change the groups in each graph easily by selecting from a list

We’ll be adding more graph types soon as well, and an option to show any number of vehicle groups side-by-side also.

New Checkbox/Filter capability

We have added a new filter & selection capability to our “Vehicle Selector” under the Graphs area of the dashlet “drawer”:

Now you can unselect certain vehicles so they disappear from graphs, and you can add a “wildcard” filter to impact what vehicles show up in graphs.

Soon we will support this for maps and in other areas of the product.

Here’s how it works:

Use the GPS Insight vehicle selector to "unselect" certain vehicles

Use the GPS Insight vehicle selector to "unselect" certain vehicles

Let’s say you have a few vehicles which are “off the charts” in the graph (shown with arrows above).

You can just uncheck their checkbox and they instantly disappear from those graphs:

Uncheck certain vehicles to remove them from graphs

Uncheck certain vehicles to remove them from graphs

Notice how the graphs are much less skewed now:

Adjusting graphs by removing certain vehicles

And you can also show only certain vehicles which match a “wildcard” pattern (in this case “*4000*” to show all vehicles with the string 4000 in them:

Choose only *4000* vehicles

Choose only *4000* vehicles

Using this capability, you can now see exactly which vehicles you want in any graph, and we have many more graphs coming.  Soon there will be a “comparison” graph which will show what your chosen vehicles look like relative to all vehicles or just a certain “reference group.”

Stay tuned & enjoy these new capabilities!

Thanks,
Rob.

New Hours of Operation Graph

Here is another new graph we’ve introduced for customers interested in knowing what time of day their vehicles are moving:

We’ve also allowed you to sort based on “most to least,” “least to most,” and alphabetically by vehicle label for all of our group graphs.

Here is what it looks like for our “all vehicle” group:

Note that the 3 devices in the Scion (same vehicle, 3 different device types) all show the exact same profile, and note the few “early morning blips” which may warrant investigation if your drivers shouldn’t be using the vehicle off-hours.

We have plenty more graphs to come for our customers who like to see their fleet’s activity visually.

(Incidentally, the dots are sized proportionate to the number of times per week/month the vehicle drove during that hour)

New Graphs released to GPS Insight

We announced it 10 days ago, and now it’s available to our customers in production:

New GPS Insight Graphs

New GPS Insight Graphs

A new set of 3 graphs are available (for starters).  We plan to rapidly release many more, to include begin/end of day, speeding, then a wasted miles graph which will show you which of your drivers are driving aimlessly, wasting miles.

There are too many things to detail in this blog post, and the dashboard has changed significantly with the new “vehicle picker” so watch this movie for a quick 6 minute overview!



All graphs are now available for free to GPS Insight customers.

Thanks,
Rob.
