Roadrunner The INTEGRATED Solution
Roadrunner CabLink

Roadrunner CabLink

Roadrunner CabLink is a powerful, integrated in-cab computer system. Using advanced tracking and telematics, it can link drivers and vehicles directly to the Roadrunner Traffic system, instantaneously updating the traffic diary. This information can be used to create both live and historic tracking and vehicle management information.


Take Control with CabLink

CabLink In SituRoadrunner CabLink has come of age by successfully developing real time mobile communications for their transport management system. Whilst the standard package remains as popular as ever the inclusion of mobile communications as an optional extra to the standard system has generated a lot of interest in the industry.

Roadrunner CabLink has helped hauliers and distribution companies save around 8% per annum on their annual fuel bill. Combine this with the reduction in overtime claims by as much as 11% and a saving of £600 per year on automation of administration tasks and it becomes self evident that Roadrunner CabLink can pay for itself well within a year of installation.

The system is a multi functional tool and included in the standard package are tachograph administration, time and attendance, payroll output, fuel reconciliation, MPG analysis, driver performance, trailer tracking, pallet control and driver expenses control. Other additional options include GPS satellite tracking and in-built immobiliser.

Roadrunner CabLink has designed its system based on what hauliers asked for and needed to successfully reduce operating costs in an ever-competitive market place.
 

Minimal Running Costs

Cost Effective:

  • Cost effective Direct Data Calls
  • Combine voice and data on the same airtime contract
Voice and data calls can easily be combined on the same airtime contract. Roadrunner CabLink can send traffic jobs using a live data call - and receive unlimited updates. Drivers can also send updates about a job directly to an office based Roadrunner booking screen and daily traffic diary.

With one call you can retrieve vehicle information e.g. positioning details, engine management (diagnostics), fuel and driver analysis etc. Roadrunner CabLink instantly interrogates tachograph information and verifies drivers' hours, even alerting the driver for rest breaks.

All alarms can be configured e.g. speeding, drivers' hours, messages etc.

An important element of this system is the data call, which requires one SIM card and happily works on all networks.

All information sent to and from vehicles is by DDC (Direct Data Call), not costly SMS messages. SMS calls are not only more expensive, the information received may not actually be live and could be hours or even days old. DDC calls provide truly live data transfers. Most Roadrunner CabLink calls last just 10 seconds which, depending on your airtime supplier, will cost you as little as 1p per vehicle data transfer.

Using SMS requires at least two messages and can cost as much as 20p just to get a position, compared to just 1p with Roadrunner CabLink.
 

Total Fleet Control

Total Control:

  • Improved fleet management
  • Empty running analysis
  • Driving style analysis
  • Driver's hours analysis
  • Tachograph analysis
  • Scheduled reporting
  • Increased productivity
Valuable driver and vehicle information means greater customer care and greater control of your main asset. Roadrunner CabLink enables essential scheduling decisions to be made, even as deliveries are being completed. The tachograph analysis, combined with detailed UK and European maps and positioning, inform you exactly how many driver's hours are left and his proximity to the next load.

Another original Roadrunner CabLink feature is driver style analysis information, which can quickly help improve vehicle usage by examining driving habits across your fleet.

Empty running analysis is an important assistant when preparing and assessing individual vehicle and overall fleet profitability.
 

Improved Vehicle Security

Secure:

  • Unique driver CabLink smart card
Installing Roadrunner CabLink is a great asset to vehicle security. Each driver is allocated their own individual Roadrunner card which has to be inserted into the CabLink system at the beginning of the shift, or when moving from vehicle to vehicle. This card both activates the computer system and records individual driving hours, work and rest periods. Additionally it can also immobilise the engine, without it the vehicle stays where it is. If the driver mislays the card, the ignition can only be mobilised via a data call from head-office, or the driver's over-ride key.

It's worth remembering that improved vehicle security can also help reduce costly insurance premiums.
 

Vehicle location from any mobile phone

One of the most unusual and exciting features of Roadrunner CabLink is remote vehicle access using just a mobile phone. Information available includes vehicle location, vehicle registration number, driver details, driver's hours and driver's available hours. Now you can even take an unplanned day off or afternoon on the golf course and still remain in touch with every vehicle in your fleet. Roadrunner CabLink provides cost effective, practical information, both live and historical - even to your mobile phone.
 

Tracking Vehicles Wherever They Are

Live Tracking:

  • GPS Positioning
  • Mapping software (down to UK and European street level)
Roadrunner CabLink links your driver and vehicle directly into your Roadrunner traffic office system, instantly updating the traffic diary and enabling you to view live and historic vehicle tracking information.

Roadrunner CabLink includes integrated GPS navigation (Global Positioning System).

GPS positioning allows anyone with a GPS receiver to determine their exact location on Earth, which makes it ideal for use in the haulage industry. A network of satellites continuously transmit coded information that allows the precise identification of locations by measuring the distances from satellites. This combination of accurate, detailed UK and European mapping and truly live data is an enormous aid for any busy transport office.
