Doran announced it has completed a collaborative integration project with SafetyTrax AVL to provide fleets with a dynamic, web-based software application that provides real-time updates for GPS and 
vehicle tracking indicators, along with tire 
pressures and temperatures for every 
vehicle in a fleet.
“Due to technological advancements, the need for fleets to rely upon time consuming, inconsistent and inaccurate gauging or thumping tires to check tire pressures is a thing of the past,” says Doran general manager Jim Samocki. “The integration between Doran and SafetyTrax provides a customized, fleet-specific website that offers at-a-glance functionality to view the current GPS location, speed and tire pressures/temperatures in real-time for any vehicle in a fleet.”
In addition to the “live look-in” map view, the provider said the system also has the capability to send e-mails or text messages with tire pressure alerts to provide additional visibility and minimize the dependence upon drivers to address low tire pressure warnings. There also is a TPMS current status report that can be scheduled to run daily, weekly or monthly, which will show every current tire pressure and highlight specific tires with low pressures.
According to the company, in addition to TPMS information, the SafetyTrax website also provides a “dashboard” that shows daily mileage, number of stops, engine on/off, idle time, speeding events and average speed for every vehicle in the fleet. It provides a breadcrumb history of events and also can be set up to track customizable geo-fence landmark activity, speeding and after-hours use.
