NAVTEQ Data Powers Innovative Teletrac Fleet Director
Chicago IL (SPX) May 23, 2008 NAVTEQ has announced that Teletrac, a provider of fleet management systems, will integrate NAVTEQ Traffic and NAVTEQ Transport in its newly enhanced Fleet Director product. Fleet Director is the first automated fleet management navigation system to leverage both NAVTEQ solutions in one robust enterprise offering. Teletrac already uses NAVTEQ map data for North America. The latest evolution in mobile resource management from Teletrac, Fleet Director, combines the requisites of a GPS-based commercial vehicle tracking and fleet management system with the added features of traffic and trucking attributes. Dynamic turn-by-turn routing capabilities allow fleet operators the freedom to navigate streets with the assistance of voice prompts, taking into account real-time traffic conditions and road characteristics specific to the transportation industry. "Teletrac is committed to providing solutions that leverage the latest technology to improve productivity and a company's bottom line," commented Tim Van Cleve, COO, Teletrac. "We realized there was an opportunity to offer unique benefits for the transport industries by integrating real-time traffic with a solution centered on truck-specific routing attributes to provide unique benefits for the transport industries." With NAVTEQ Traffic ML, drivers receive continuously updated real-time traffic information in 78 markets across the U.S. and Canada. Notification of incidents and congestion alerts drivers about potential traffic delays and helps avoid traffic problems. Additionally, this enhanced system utilizes NAVTEQ Transport truck attributes. With the inclusion of NAVTEQ Transport, fleet managers can route trucks away from low-clearance areas and streets that their vehicles cannot maneuver, helping to reduce incidents and minimize out-of-route miles. NAVTEQ Transport provides road attributes that directly affect truck routing such as legal restrictions, physical restrictions and preferred truck routes. "NAVTEQ is pleased to collaborate with Teletrac on the next-generation Fleet Director system," said Roy Kolstad, vice president and general manager -- Enterprise Americas, NAVTEQ. "The breadth of traffic and truck-specific routing information offered in this unique solution will truly revolutionize the way that fleet companies run their businesses." Teletrac plans to have the product available within the third quarter of 2008. Related Links Teletrac GPS Applications, Technology and Suppliers
