Earthwave has integrated their e-ticketing functionality with OnStation to allow users to pinpoint the exact Station Location where each load of asphalt is placed on a jobsite. This new functionality automatically tracks the load from the time it is loaded at the asphalt plant, through its dumping into the paver on the jobsite. The exact Station location becomes a part of the digital e-ticket, with no operator intervention required. Operators and transportation agency officials can know precisely on a jobsite where a specific load of asphalt was laid, so that if a future problem arises, they can investigate other parameters around that location, including core tests, density, drainage, or others, to determine the scope of the problem. Specific station locations on each e-ticket replace the latitude/longitude indications which are commonly included now, but which are not readily referenceable on the jobsite. 

FleetWatcher's Escalating Idle Alert informs managers when equipment has been idling for too long, allowing immediate corrective action to be taken. This can help slash idle time, and thus elongate equipment life span.

• FleetWatcher monitors rpm over time, and alerts managers with text or email when a pre-set threshold has been reached
• The parameters and alerting structure are completely customizable by the user
• Data can be integrated with other business systems such as accounting, estimating
• Tracks multiple data points including cycle times, productivity and downtime, equipment utilization and underutilization, exact location of each piece of equipment, project status, budgets, shop costs, rental expenses, and trends and behaviors 

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet used Fleetwatcher's E-Ticketing solution on two research projects during the 2018 paving season in an effort to investigate the effectiveness of the electronic ticketing process in combination with both intelligent compaction and infrared temperature monitoring.  The two projects were KYTC's initial attempts to begin developing a system wherein the majority of material monitoring is done electronically, allowing a KYTC inspector to focus on a more visual inspection of the material being placed.

Earthwave Technologies will be promoting it's flagship Fleetwatcher solutions for Materials Management and E-ticketing at the Transportation Research Board's 98th annual meeting to be held at the Walter E Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. from January 13-17, 2019.  The conference is the largest event in North America for US DOT and State DOT Officials and addresses topics of interest to policy makers, administrators, practitioners, researchers, and representatives of government, industry, and academic institutions. 

E-ticketing, an electronic means of producing individual scale tickets and providing material haul summaries for state-funded roadway projects, continues to evolve and gain traction among state highway transportation officials and HMA contractors.  

Fleetwatcher customers across the country are raving about the ease-of-use of our new ELD application that was rolled out earlier this year to comply with the new mandate for electronic logs issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).  The new mandate goes into effect next month on December 18, 2017.
