The City is seeking a Waste Collection Route and Service Management System. The Technology will be used on the City’s Waste Collection vehicle fleet to optimize collection operations and routing, monitoring fleet and service performance, provide real-time data collection, and provide a remote management tool for staff. The system should lead to better forecast for budgets, assist in identifying current and future routing and equipment needs, and simplify the production of reports. The technology will be installed (mounted) in the trucks and give drivers the ability to report and flag issues while in the field. It is preferable that the technology is an in-cab mobile device/GPS-based application. The application must provide drivers with all the information they need to complete their routes, including all customer information, addresses, service information, as well as navigation assistance. It is required that the technology require limited driver interaction for safety. The technology should communicate information from the mobile device application in real time to a web-based (cloud) portal or dashboard that can be accessed by varying levels of management and staff. The web-based portal should enable users to schedule routes, assign stops to routes, and optimize routes for various services. It should show real-time route completion progress, including service verifications by address. The portal should also display location-based information from the vehicles, including vehicle drive patterns, current and historical breadcrumb trails.
