Linked Assets and Driver ID

Linked Assets, Automated Driver and Passenger ID, Automated Trips, and Manual Trips 

What is Linked Assets & Driver ID

The linked asset functionality utilizes the CrewChief mobile app and specific integrated telematics systems to determine when two or more are likely in close proximity under driving conditions. This is generally a truck and trailer, but it can be a truck, trailer, and cargo. Each asset must have a specified and integrated GPS tracker.

The driver and passenger(s) can also be determined with a reasonable degree of probability for each person with the CrewChief mobile app on their phone. This does not require a telematics system or GPS tracking device. 

Driver vs Passenger

When multiple CrewChief users are determined to be traveling together, users will be prompted to identify who is driving. The last identified driver on a trip will be attached to the trip. 

Automated Trip Detection 

As part of the linked asset logic, trips are also detected automatically based on a variety of variables. Trips are automatically created and a user assigned. In some situations, this can provide a convenient method of tracking the user when traveling in a car at road speeds. This can be a useful feature with pooled vehicles if the drivers are using the CrewChief mobile app. 

Manual Trip Logging and Driver ID

In situations where an asset operates in a very small area, at a slow speed, the manual trip function can be used. This identifies the user of the asset and logs the time and mileage. This acts as a time clock for heavy equipment operators. 

Off-Road Driving Log

This is a form of manual trip which can be used to log offroad mileage and time for fuel tax rebates.
