CoPilot Truck ‐ On‐Board Navigation
Competitive Advantages
Enterprise Wide Benefits
• Best Performance – Map and navigation information is always immediately available and utilizes the in‐cab mobile device processor to enable quick route calculation • Best Reliability – CoPilot Truck uses the mobile devices’ built‐in GPS chipset so there is no reliance on wireless communications for navigation. Drivers can always get directions, even in remote areas.
CoPilot Truck ‐ On‐Board Navigation
Competitive Advantages
Driver Benefits
• Driver Safety – On‐board navigation will continue to provide direction in remote locations and independent of wireless data coverage.
• Richer User Experience – On‐board mapping supports a greater level of mapping and POI detail
• Driver Friendly UI – CoPilot is designed with the look and feel of current iOS and Android apps, providing drivers a familiar user experience
In Cab Navigation Case Studies
• Increased customer on‐time delivery percentages by 15%
• Reduce out‐of‐route mileage by 6% in first 90 days
• Reduce truck route violations from 7% to <1%
• ROI – “If the system helps us avoid one bridge strike or reduce out‐of‐route miles by one point, the solution easily pays for itself.”

Back Office
RouteSync ‐ Operational Consistency
Delivers exact planned routes from the back office (PC*MILER) to be used as the routes the driver sees in‐cab (CoPilot Truck)
RouteSync ‐ Operational Consistency
•The prescribed PC*MILER route drives business
• Mileage paid or other driver incentives are based off the prescribed PC*MILER route – it should be what drivers are given to follow in‐cab
Reasons for RouteSync
Not all loads are the same
• Most fleets have a certain percentage of loads that require special route modification
Waypoint use is insufficient
• Still might not get same route as PC*MILER
• If a driver misses a waypoint, CoPilot may try to turn him around and route back to the waypoint
Starting a RouteSync Route
• CoPilot creates “unmanaged” leg if >5 miles from origin
• CoPilot continues from the current location if it is already on the RouteSync path
RouteSync Maintains Consistency
• If driver leaves the RouteSync route…
• Driver makes an unplanned detour
• Driver mistakenly makes the wrong turn • RouteSync ensures that we guide the driver back to the prescribed route • Route adherence levels (Strict, Moderate, Minimal)
RouteSync Adherence Level ‐ Rerouting
• Strict
• CoPilot attempts to rejoin the prescribed route ASAP
• Moderate
• CoPilot attempts to rejoin the prescribed route, but may find alternate roads to rejoin the route shortly
• Minimal
• CoPilot reroutes with no preference for the prescribed route. If we happen to rejoin at some point, we reroute using the prescribed route RouteSync Requirements

Route Compliance
Route Compliance Data
OOR Messages
Reasons for Route Compliance
• The prescribed route drives business
• Mileage paid or other driver incentives are based off the prescribed route – it should be what drivers are actually driving
• Monitor adoption
• The more drivers adhere to the prescribed route, the greater the ROI from CoPilot Truck
In‐Cab and Out of Route
• When the driver leaves the prescribed route
• By more than x (default 0.2) miles
• The driver is out of route and
• In‐cab out of route icon is displayed
• Dispatch is informed of the deviation with real‐time email alert • Out of Route mileage and time is tracked
• The driver remains out of route until
• The driver returns to the prescribed route line
• Route compliance summary is generated
• Upon completion or cancellation of the route
Route Compliance Dashboards
• Quickly identify fleet trends and targets for driver coaching
Route Compliance Visualization • Visualize routes and generate reports across an entire fleet
• Filter by driver, vehicle, or date range
• Export reports for additional manipulation
View Out of Route Details
• Drill in to specific out of route events
• Visualize planned route vs. actual path taken with detail
