RydeSmart 3.0

Ryder System Inc. has launched RydeSmart 3.0, the next generation of its onboard telematics system. RydeSmart has been enhanced to provide greater usability and vehicle intelligence to fleet-management end users. The new RydeSmart 3.0 is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) product, which makes it easy for customers to access and monitor their fleets anytime, anywhere.

RydeSmart is a full-featured GPS fleet location, tracking, and vehicle performance management system offered to Ryder's full-service lease customers. A compact hardware and software unit is installed in the vehicle. RydeSmart connects to the vehicle's existing computer and diagnostics systems and communicates wirelessly via a dedicated and secure connection to a Web-based application that can be accessed by fleet, safety, and driver managers.

The new version of RydeSmart includes an improved look and feel that allows for easier navigation around the system with fewer mouse clicks. A new map engine provides faster transitions between maps, improved detail, and a bird's-eye view of tracked vehicles with the ability to obtain a street-level perspective.

RydeSmart 3.0 can follow multiple vehicles simultaneously and show their routes on the map. A history playback capability shows a vehicle's 48-hour history and includes a slider with play and pause options. Additionally, information on traffic conditions is available in real time, with four-color codes representing traffic intensity. New analytics provides extensive fleet, safety, and travel data for vehicles.
