Clean routes, green fleets, safer drives

From kerbside pickups to landfill hauls, a waste fleet runs long shifts on repetitive routes with assets scattered across a city.

Long shifts, repetitive routes, assets scattered across a city

From kerbside pickups to landfill hauls, a waste fleet runs early starts on the same streets every week, with trucks, utes, bins and plant all reporting differently. One platform behind them turns a scattered operation into one picture.

The fleet

What goes on each asset

Collection trucks, utes, bins and plant, four different ways of reporting, one platform behind them.

  • Heavy collection truck

    Collection trucks

    Hardwired Ehubo2 with driver login, so shift hours are attributed to a person

    Driver Login

    Hardwired

  • Light vehicle on site

    Utes

    Business and private running separated automatically for fringe benefits tax

  • Trailer fitted with a tracker

    Bins and skips

    Battery tracker reporting location on assets with no power of their own

    ETrack Oyster3

    Battery

  • Plant and equipment

    Plant

    Tags and trackers on machinery, reported by engine hours as well as location

    Equipment tracking

    Battery

Battery units report on a schedule rather than continuously. Hardwired units need a power source.

Why it helps

Long shifts are the risk

Repetitive routes and early starts put waste drivers at real risk. Fatigue is a factor in 20% of fatal crashes in Australia, and being awake for 18 hours has the same effect on reaction time as a blood alcohol level of 0.05%.

Fatigue detection

Drowsiness and distraction detected in cab, with a warning the driver feels before an incident

Drive Buddy Fatigue

Footage both ways

Road facing and driver facing video, so a kerbside incident is answered rather than argued about

Clarity Edge Multicam

Coaching, not blame

Behaviour reported per driver and per round, so a conversation starts from data

Capabilities

Every bin, skip and machine

Bins, skips and collection vehicles tracked in one place, so allocation is based on what is actually where.

Pre-start records

Standardised checks completed in cab with photographs, stored against the machine

FAQ

What fleet managers actually ask

EROAD Locate works with most light vehicles and plant equipment using an OBD2 port, and a universal Y harness allows installation behind the dashboard while keeping the diagnostic port accessible. Assets without a port are covered instead by battery trackers such as ETrack Oyster3 and ETrack G70, which need no vehicle power at all.

Yes. Battery trackers are built for non-powered assets and report on a schedule rather than continuously, which is what makes the battery last. An Ehubo2 also picks up an ETrack Where Tag within 70 metres, so a bin is detected by the truck that services it.

Subcontractor vehicles and plant can be added, bringing all assets onto one platform for visibility and tracking. That also feeds the subcontractor activity a Chain of Responsibility duty asks about.

Yes. EROAD Locate collects ECM and CAN data, so you get engine hours, battery health, faults and maintenance needs, which is what plant is serviced on rather than distance travelled.

Driver login is a PIN on the in-cab unit, so time behind the wheel is attributed to a person rather than a registration. Fringe benefits tax reporting is delivered on the Ehubo2 with no additional app and no mobile device management.
