Safety and monitoring

More than 400 million truck journeys are made on the German road network every year – and this figure is on the rise, with the growing volume of traffic increasing the risk of congestion and accidents. VDO not only offers a range of products and services to enable you to coordinate and monitor your value chain, but our products can also be used to increase the safety of drivers, traffic, vehicles and cargo.

Locate vehicles and trailers

Knowing the precise location of a tractor or trailer not only helps you with monitoring, scheduling and customer inquiries regarding arrival times, but always keeping an eye on their position also increases the security of the valuable tractor/trailer combination.

TIS-Web® Motion – for fleets in motion

Safety and monitoring are important for fleets of all sizes. The TIS-Web^® Motion module in combination with the DLD^® Wide Range II also provides small and medium-sized fleets with all the benefits of professional fleet management software. Current vehicle positions and routes are immediately traceable on a map in TIS-Web^® Motion.

Safe Driving with the Services of TIS-Web^® or FleetVisor

Track and Trace

With the “Track and Trace” function of VDO TIS-Web^® or VDO FleetVisor, you can monitor the locations of vehicles online at all times. This means you can always keep an eye on your vehicles and trailers, even with longer journey times. In the event of an accident, your drivers can inform head office immediately via an alarm button and, in doing so, alert the police.

Geofencing

Thanks to the geofencing function from TIS-Web^® Motion and FleetVisor, you immediately know whether the route has been kept to as agreed. Above all, however, you can define geographic areas within which your vehicles carrying security-relevant, valuable shipments travel. If a vehicle leaves this area, you will receive a notification.

Trailer Management

With TIS-Web^® Motion, you can immediately see which vehicle is moving which trailer and its location. VDO TrailerLinc, an additional module for VDO FleetVisor, also enables you to locate trailers or swap bodies and identify the vehicles to which they are attached. The system is active at all times and transmits the position to the head office at specifically defined intervals.

Record the condition of vehicles and trailers

The road safety of tractors and trailers must be ensured at all times within the scope of vehicle owner’s liability. In most cases, therefore, the responsibility lies with the managing director or the fleet operator. However, the driver also plays an important role. Our solutions enable us to support you in this task.

Be on the Safe Side with TIS-Web^® Motion and the TIS-Web^® Fleet App

Already the best-value entry-level solution, TIS-Web^® Motion provides you with everything you need to know about the condition of the vehicle and the trailer. TIS-Web^® Motion transmits key vehicle system data directly to the screens of the schedulers. With the practical TIS-Web^® Fleet app, the driver works through a detailed checklist and can record faults with the camera, to be sent directly to head office.

Check tires

According to a study carried out by Continental, around 12 percent of all commercial vehicles on the road in Germany do not have sufficient tire pressure. This not only leads to higher fuel consumption, but a gradual loss in pressure is also one of the main causes of punctures and, in the worst cases, accidents.

Monitor Tire Characteristics

Although only passenger cars have had to be equipped with a TPMS (tire-pressure monitoring system) since 2014, at VDO we recognize the need for a monitoring system for tires. We offer a range of solutions to ensure that your vehicles and trailers operate smoothly.

TIS-Web^® Motion

If your vehicle tires are equipped with Continental's CPC (Conti Pressure Check), TIS-Web® Motion always keeps track of the tire pressure of the vehicle. TIS-Web® Motion enables you to always keep an eye on the tire pressure of your tractor/trailer combinations. TIS-Web® Motion also monitors the set temperature value to make sure that it is not exceeded and sends it to head office. In combination with the practical TIS-Web® Fleet app, it also notifies drivers of a fall in tire pressure via their smartphones.

Communicate with drivers

Route planning and ad-hoc changes are made much easier by means of smooth communication between schedulers and drivers. The solutions from VDO ensure that your drivers are kept up-to- date at all times.

Improved communication in the forwarding business

With the TIS-Web^® Communicator module, you can send your drivers text messages to the TIS-Web^® Fleet app. Drivers can then use the TIS-Web^® Fleet app just like a text messaging or messenger service to reply or ask questions.

Predefined order forms with digital signature fields also make it easier to process the acceptance of goods.

What’s more, even if our services make communication as easy and convenient as possible, nothing compares to a personal conversation.
