Use of ICS Black Box's Nee Log on-board computer has saved St Edmundsbury Borough Council from a claim for damage. The system, installed recently on 17 council refuse collection vehicles, three sweepers and a gully emptier as part of a yearlong programme to gather information to help streamline vehicle rounds, has allowed the council to prove that a vehicle claimed to have damaged a grass verge was not at the location at the time of the incident. CM Is covering the now telematics scene from ell ill this regular onthty The council hopes it might now prevent other claims, too. For example, it says there are sometimes claims that gullys have not been emptied (important if flooding occurs), so an additional sensor on the new gully emptier will show not only where the vehicle has been but also when its pumps have been operated. Likewise, sweepers equipped with the units will record when and where sweeping has been carried out.
Fleet Log also collects data on journey times. mileage, speed, acceleration and engine revs. All the data Is downloaded automatically by radio-frequency modem when vehicles pass within transmission range of their base.
