City of Cincinnati Set to Improve Snow Removal Services through Navtrak’s GPS-based Fleet Management Solution
Cincinnati’s virtual shutdown during “Great Snow of Christmas ’04” prompts city officials to look at high-tech solution to managing weather emergencies.
Cincinnati, OH (PRWEB) December 10, 2005 -- Cincinnati’s virtual shutdown during the “Great Snow of Christmas ’04” prompted city officials to look at a high-tech solution to managing weather emergencies.
“People didn't want to hear we were there (clearing the streets) -- well, it didn't look like we were there.” These words from Cincinnati’s Director of Public Services Daryl Brock, describing the city’s response to the virtual shutdown resulting from the “Great Snow of Christmas ’04,” ultimately convinced the City Council's Neighborhood and Public Services Committee of the need to invest in a GPS-based tracking solution for its 110 snow plows and supporting vehicles.
Now, as another winter season rapidly approaches, the city of Cincinnati is much better prepared for the onslaught, thanks to their recent implementation of a GPS-based fleet management solution from Navtrak, Inc.
After Brock’s report, Councilwoman Laketa Cole, suggested implementing a global positioning system (GPS) solution to track the city’s vehicles. She researched the available solutions on the market, and decided to go with Navtrak, a recognized leader in GPS-based fleet management technology based in Salisbury, Maryland.
Navtrak came to the city’s aid with its powerful suite of mapping and reporting tools, which will enable the city’s dispatchers to see, in real-time, where each vehicle is located at the click of a mouse. Dispatchers can then route vehicles as needed to critical areas, and view reports on how long each driver spent clearing a particular area. By analyzing the data, Brock and his department can execute better strategies to clear Cincinnati’s streets with maximum efficiency during a weather emergency.
