One of the major and most complicated issues a construction company has to address is the daily management of its vehicle fleet and construction machinery.
Such a project remains exceptionally complicated and hard-solving, due to the diversity and the size of vehicles fleets (large number of machines and different age/performance levels). The project “IntelligentLogger” is a sophisticated, holistic surveillance system (hardware/software) to be developed for the first time worldwide that monitors running and maintenance cost, regarding a diverse machine and vehicle fleet. Integral elements will be the automated and reliable registration of all necessary data. It will have flexibility and extensibility will be fully configured and applicable to any machine-vehicle at a minimum cost, regardless use and technology, thus allowing an integrated fleet management.
The schematic above represents the basic subunits of the system consisting the project’s three basic Research and Innovation Targets:
- It is a unit controlled by central microcontroller which administers data collection and data traffic via available networks, e.g. GSM/3G. Data collection will be acquired through existing analogical/digital sensors on the vehicles or by mounting new ones.
- DataCollectionSystem.
The collected data and all accompanying information will be transferred to a central server, will go through check and validation control and then will be imported to the system’s database (Data Warehouse).
- Artificial and business intelligence and reporting tool.
All data will be processed in correlation with other information systems of the construction company. The results will refer to monitoring machine functionality and efficiency, malfunction and accident anticipation, aiming at an optimum, better rationalized and cost-effective fleet management.
“Intelligent Logger” is a broadly applied universal system that may also be used in other data collection and management complex systems such as naval fleets and big industrial units and their administration.
