System Overview
The Dynafleet Online system makes possible for dispatchers to communicate with vehicles in a fleet.
For this communication to start the vehicle needs to be equipped with a Dynafleet mobile unit. The information between the system and the vehicles computer goes via the mobile phone network.
The vehicles can be setup to export data to the system on a regular basis or the dispatcher can choose to download the data manually. The information, which is downloaded from the vehicles, is stored in a remote database.

Reports
Fuel efficiency report
The fuel efficiency report enables you to monitor a fleet's fuel consumption, driving performance, CO2 emission and vehicle utilisation. Fuel efficiency report data is provided and can be used to measure how efficiently vehicles are handled by the drivers in the fleet.
The report data is presented in various formats to provide both a summary for a selection of drivers or vehicles, and detailed information for individual drivers and vehicles. Furthermore, you can generate trend graphs that display the fuel efficiency score and average fuel consumption over time.
You can export the report data in Excel format for further analysis, or generate printable PDFs to present to drivers. You can also save a specific report selection criteria as a favourite report, and assign subscribers to receive an e-mail that contains a direct link to the report.
Use the Overview, Details and Trend tabs to navigate between the three parts of the report.

System areas
“All assigned” means that all drivers and vehicles assigned to your user that have been active during the selected time period will be included in the report. Moreover, you can change the time interval by selecting the recent time interval: today, yesterday, last 7 days or last 30 days.
Note: The fuel efficiency report is part of the Fuel & Environment service. Consequently, only vehicles that subscribe to the Fuel & Environment service are included in the report.
Fuel efficiency score
The fuel efficiency score is a method for measuring how efficiently a truck is driven by a driver at a specific point in time. External conditions such as weather, load weight and traffic situation will impact on the fuel consumption, meaning that cases with a high score (good score) may also show a high fuel consumption.
Overview
The overview contains an overall status of the current selection. You can interact with the categories to see the underlying score information. The presentation of the report is based on data from all vehicles and drivers assigned to your user. You can use the selection area to choose specific vehicles or drivers. “All assigned” means that all drivers and vehicles assigned to your user that were active during the selected time period will be included in the report.
Details
This feature gives Fleet Owners a quick overview of their fleet and drivers. Fleet Owners should be able to pick individual vehicles or drivers or all drivers and obtain a result based on the Score. By analysing the data in the report, Fleet Owners can find out how and where fuel consumption can be reduced and identify improvement areas for the drivers.
When “All assigned” is selected, two buttons are displayed: Vehicles and Drivers. These buttons allow the user to view either vehicles or drivers.
Under the Details tab, the current selection is ranked according to the score.
The current selection will be divided and categorised into the colours green, yellow and red. The columns are sortable.
If the current selection contains trucks, the user can see which drivers were driving them by expanding a row in the table. This is done using the icon .
Trend
A Trend Graph allows you to follow the fleet’s behaviour and usage and compare it to the average fuel consumption. This information can then be used to identify where costs can be decreased. The graph is interactive. Hover over the graph to see more information.
To change the time interval in the trend graph, select one of the options in the recent time interval: today, yesterday, last 7 days or last 30 days.
Then select the recent time interval and choose a predefined time period, e.g. 3 months, 6 months or 13 months.
To change the basis of the score calculations, select either monthly or weekly.

Overview reports
The overview report can be used to get an overview of your vehicles and drivers performances. It shows the time, mileage and fuel consumption of each vehicle/driver for a specified time period, and also shows some parameters that give information about driving style. (Economy, Idling, and so on). The report is useful when you want to get the overview and compare certain parameters for different vehicles and drivers.
The overview report gives you an overview of your vehicles/drivers performances and for the selected time period it shows the following main parameters: l
Engine running time l
Mileage driven l
Total fuel used l
Average fuel consumption
In addition to this, it shows the relative values in % of time with engine on for different engine- and vehicle
"modus", like "Economy", "Idling", and so on.
Depending on the column selection, the parameters are presented in the following tabs: l
General l
Operational l
Driving l
Vehicle functions
In the Overview reports selection view you can choose to "Include driver data" in the Vehicle reports and to "Include vehicle data" in the driver reports. If several drivers have driven one vehicle, the report will then for each vehicle show the result per driver and the sum for the vehicle. If one driver has been driving several vehicles the report will then for each driver show the drivers result per vehicle and the sum for the driver.
Report Profiles
You may apply a profile – or template (long haul, distribution or construction) – when creating the report.
When a profile is applied to a report, the applicable report details are highlighted with green, yellow, orange. Green indicates above target performance, yellow indicates near target performance and orange indicates below target performance.
The feature is available in both the driver and vehicle versions of the report.
Applying report profiles
To create a report using a report profile, select the desired profile from the Report Profile field before generating the report. Default profiles for long haul, distribution and construction usage are available. See
Managing report profiles for information about creating and editing your own report profiles.
Once created, the contents of the report will be highlighted in accordance with the limits defined in the applied profile. The generated report will display the boundary values used and text explaining whether lower or higher values are better for each highlighted field. Note! Only those fields which have been included in the report profile will be highlighted on the report.
These reports can be viewed online and printed. When exporting reports to Excel, additional columns displaying “RED”, “YELLOW” or “GREEN” will be added to the spreadsheet in order to represent the performance levels.

Messaging
Assistance Request
If a driver is in need of fast assistance or need help immediately he can send for an assistance request.
Instead of sending a regular message through the system he presses a “panic button” inside the vehicle.
This triggers a message flow and users of the system will be notified.
When configuring the system you have the option to forward alarms to Volvo Action Service. If this configuration is made, each alarm is automatically sent to both Volvo Action Service and the users.
This is extended security if there are no users on line at the time of the sent alarm.

Geofence and Geofence+
Geofence is an abbreviation of geographical fence. A geofence notifies fleet users when a vehicle enters or leaves a specified area, that is, a geofence.
Dynafleet Online offers two kinds of geofence features, Geofence and Geofence+. Geofence enables fleet administrators to create geofences and distribute them to vehicles. Geofence+ enables fleet users to create and assign geofences+ to vehicles.
When a vehicle passes a geofence or a geofence+, all fleet users that have that vehicle assigned to them receives a notification. All notifications from geofences and geofences+ are collected in a folder called
Geofence notifications in the Messaging tab. A Geofence notifications icon in the bottom left of Dynafleet
Online indicates if a geofence or geofence+ message has arrived. A click on the icon leads directly to the folder that contains the notifications.
For Geofence, the driver can be notified when passing a geofence.
An overview of the comparable differences between the Geofence and the Geofence+ features are outlined in the following table.

l
Leaving is smaller than the Approaching boundary. An event is triggered when the vehicle leaves the area.
l
Arrived is the smallest boundary. An event is triggered when the vehicle enters the area.
Geofence provides a notification to the fleet user and/or the driver when the Arrived, Approaching, and
Leaving events are triggered.
Note: Geofences with sides that are less than 100 meters wide should not be used due to limitations in
GPS accuracy.

Geofence+
Geofence+ is only available to vehicles that subscribe to the Positioning+ service. Geofence+ provides a notification to the fleet user when a vehicle enters or leaves a geofence+, for vehicles that are assigned to the fleet user.
Note: Geofences+ with sides that are less than 100 meters wide should not be used due to limitations in
GPS accuracy.
Note: If too small geofences+ are used, a vehicle could pass through a geofence+ without the fleet user being notified. Therefore, a geofence+ should be wide enough to ensure that vehicles do not pass through the geofence+ in less than 1 minute. The values in the following table can be used as a guideline for estimating the minimum width that is needed for a specific geofence+.

Current driving session
A ‘floating’ time period that is not based on calendar intervals, but on the logged driver activities analysis according to the EU driving rules legislation. It presents the information in a time period that depends on the individual driver’s activity analysis. Purpose of this choice is to follow up the current driver activities as they evolve while it happens. It gives the user a clear insight in the immediate availability of all the drivers.
Previous driving session
A "floating" time period that is not based on calendar intervals, but on the logged driver activities analysis according to the EU driving rules legislation. This time period lists the data for the second last know driving session for each driver. With this historical data it helps the user to predict longer term availability of the drivers.

WTD - Working Time Directive
This feature is not available in some markets.
The working time directive introduces limits on weekly working time, the amount of work that can be done at night, and the amount of work that can be done before taking a break.
The following rules are implemented in Dynafleet Online.
- A driver may not work more than an average of 48 hours per week in a period.
- A driver may not work more than 60 hours in a single week.
- A driver may not work more than 10 hours in any 24-hour period, if work is done at night. The limit may be changed in the working time regulations settings view.
- A driver needs at least 30 minutes of breaks if working between 6 and 9 hours in any 24-hour period.
- A driver needs at least 45 minutes of breaks if working more than 9 hours in any 24 hour period.
A break should be more than 15 minutes to count as a break.
A period may either be a rolling period, or a fixed period. The periods are configured in the working time regulations settings view.
The working time calculations are based on the driver activities with the possibility to override these activities with manually added activities.
The existing driver activities are: Driving, Working, Waiting, Resting and Not Logged In. Not Logged In is considered as Resting when calculating the weekly working times. Driving and Working are considered as Working. The activity Waiting is called Availability when modifying an activity.
Working Time Directive View
The working time directive view is accessed from the driver activity tab by selecting the crossed hammers icon, .
The header of the working time directive view looks slightly different depending on the period type setting.
A fleet with fixed periods has a view with the available periods in a drop down box. A fleet with a rolling period has a view where the length of the period is displayed in the header.
The drivers are added to the view by selecting the drivers in the resource view and pressing the icon.

The remaining column shows the maximum allowed working hours per week for the remaining weeks in the period including the current week. The value is limited by the 48 hours average work per week rule and the 60 hours maximum work per week rule. Note that the hours worked in the current week are not included in the calculation.
If a rolling period is selected, the remaining column shows how many hours the driver may work this week starting at Monday 00:00. If a fixed period is selected, the column shows how many hours the driver may work on average per week starting at
Monday 00:00 this week until the end of the period.
The columns display ‘-‘ if the column is not applicable. They display 0 if no data is available.
The values in the columns are highlighted if a rule violation has been detected.

System areas are modified by the modify activities dialogue accessed by the icon in the working time directive view.
The dialogue shows the activities for a single driver on a selected day. Selecting another driver from the driver drop down box updates the dialogue to show the new driver's activities. It's only possible to select drivers added to the working time directive view.
Change the day by selecting a date from the date picker in the activity list, or use the previous/next buttons. The activity list shows the activities for the selected day. Activities with start or end time outside the selected day may be shown if the activity spans the selected day.
Modify activities by selecting a start/end date and time as well as an activity type and press the save button. Select an existing activity to fill in the start/end date & time and the activity type. Select an activity while holding down the control key to fill in the end time only.
Note that it’s not possible to modify activities unless data has been downloaded and exists in the system with an end time later than the modified activity’s end time.
Restore Activities
The modified activities may be removed, thus restoring the downloaded driver activities. Press the
icon in the working time directive view to access the restore original data dialogue. The dialogue is similar to the modify activities dialogue and start/end date and time selection works the same way.
After the start and end times have been selected, press the restore button to restore activities for the selected period. Note that it’s possible to restore parts of a modified activity. This will result in an adjustment of the start or end time of the modified activity.
Data Priority
The activities used for working time regulation calculations are activities received from the driver card, and activities manually added via the modify activities dialogue.
Already entered manually modified activities may be overwritten by new data received. This happens if new activities are received from the driver card and the priority is higher, unless the activity type of the new data is not known or ’not logged in’.
The priorities for the different data sources are:
Data origin
Driver card data download
Manual driver data download from Driver activity view
Driver card data retrieved via Tracking
Priority
1
2
3
This means that it's a good idea to make sure that driver data has been downloaded. If not, a data download should be done using the smart card reader or the manual driver data download functionality from log data management before any modified activities are added.

Driver Coaching
Driver Coaching is a function that guides the driver to improved fuel-efficient driving behaviour through real time monitoring and evaluation of the driving style. The display in the vehicle provides instant advice to the driver on how to improve the driving behaviour. The fleet administrator enables or disables Driver
Coaching through configuration in Dynafleet Online.
Two types of Driver Coaching exist. The vehicle hardware and the truck generation that the vehicle belongs to determine the type of Driver Coaching that is supported.

Tachograph download
Overview
Tachograph download consists of three related services which each rely on a 2009 introduced technique and EU legislation that allows data to be transferred from a digital tachograph via wireless connectivity to a back office system. The three services are:
Driver card download
The first service is the possibility to download driver card data remotely via the Dynafleet communication channel. This service requires digital tachograph version 1.3a in the truck. With this service the data from the driver card will be downloaded to the Dynafleet Online servers automatically (scheduled) on regular intervals or manually on request. The driver card remains in the tachograph so no action from the driver will be required. The data on the driver card must be "unlocked" by means of company card authentication. The authentication will be done remotely and therefore the company card must be made available to Dynafleet Online by means of a card reader connected to a computer at the transport company’s home base.
Tachograph memory download
The second service, which work very similarly to the Driver card download, is the remote download possibility of the Digital tachograph mass memory. Authentication by means of a company card is done in the same way as for the driver card download. For all remote download services only one company card is necessary but multiple cards is possible in case your company is split into different legal entities or geographically spread. Downloads will again be automatic and scheduled or manual.
Tachograph speed file download

System areas
The third service is the possibility to download the last 24h of speed profile information from the digital tachograph for in-depth analysis of driving behaviour. This functionality will be charged additionally to the monthly invoice.
Activate the service
In order to perform any remote download from vehicles, the Tachograph download feature must first be enabled for the fleet. You can contact your local sales organization to have this feature enabled for your fleet. In addition to this, the fleet administrator can activate the Tachograph download on the individual vehicles of his choice. The download functions allow the office user to retrieve the Tachograph memory and the Driver card information through either automated scheduled tasks or manually, but the administrator can also allow the driver to take the initiative to start the data transfer at his/her convenience.
Activating the Tachograph download will make all three services available, though they can later be configured separately.
Navigate to it by clicking the Administration tab to enter the administration view, then click the distribution icon for Tachograph download under the Manage vehicle settings section.
