Vusion Enhances Fuel Monitoring System

Vusion, a division of PeopleNet Communications Inc., has launched MPG Analytics Dashboard, providing enhancements to its fuel-monitoring systems to better track driver and truck performance on the road.

“Collecting and analyzing data that impacts fuel use is critical for identifying areas that can be improved, as well as making vehicle buying/trading decisions,” Vusion President Tom Fansler said in a statement. “Our new dashboard visually displays information, making analytics practical and actionable by emphasizing issues that need addressing via red alerts on what we call a heat map.”

Vusion’s MPG connects, interprets and depicts data from multiple sources: the engine control module (over-speed, over-RPM, idle time, excess-speed), GPS (temperature, topography), dispatch (load weight), vehicle (vehicle age, engine size, make and model) and fuel purchases.

  Visual comparisons allow for management to see a true picture of each vehicle, engine and driver, and see how each performance factor directly affects fuel economy, the company said.
