Rand McNally launches next generation of TruckPC

Rand McNally has introduced significant enhancements to its TruckPC mobile communication system. TruckPC is a fully compliant electronic on-board recorder (EOBR) that automatically tracks and manages Hours of Service.

TruckPC now provides award-winning navigation; enhanced behavior- and truck-monitoring systems; workflow; in-cab video training; two-way communication; an improved and easy-to-use back-end monitoring system; and on-board scanning.

The new TruckPC upgrades include:

• Fully integrated navigation and truck tool features from Rand McNally. Proprietary truck-specific routing, points of interest, road construction, turn-by-turn directions and mileage calculation capabilities are now fully integrated into the TruckPC. • Driver behavior monitoring: Enhanced warnings alert drivers to sharp curves, steep hills, speed limit changes, state boundaries, road construction, time zone changes and on/off duty changes. Over Speed Limit indicator changes with the designated speed limit for the road segment. All of these events can be reported back and analyzed. • Workflow: Step-by-step instructions customized for events such as pre-trip inspections or customer service with location specific procedures. Workflow enables a company to manage complex tasks with confirmation of completion from the driver. • Performance Stability: Upgraded hardware with 1.6 GHz processor and solid-state hard drive eliminates moving parts, enhancing the performance stability of the unit. The latest Windows embedded software ensures that this unit will be current as software technology evolves. • Mapping enhancements to FleetWatcher: The back-end monitoring and analysis tool now includes interactive satellite mapping.
