Heatmap Visualization Feature for Fleet Management
Here is another amazing feature of Safee platform that has been added recently. It is the heatmap visualization that was designed to provide fleet managers and business owners with valuable insights into their operations, helping them make data-driven decisions and improve the efficiency and safety of their fleets.
Visualizing Fleet Activity with Color-Coded Heatmap
Safee heatmap uses color coding to visualize the activity of fleet vehicles on a map and represent the density of location data points in a specific geographical area. By aggregating data from GPS trackers and other telematics devices, fleet managers can see where their vehicles are located, where they have been, and where they are headed, so they can identify hotspots and trends about where vehicles are spending the most time, such as delivery zones or congested areas. This information helps managers optimize decisions about routing, scheduling, and resource allocation.
Generating Heatmap with Data Points Density
The heatmap is generated by aggregating the data points of a large set of vehicles within a specified area over a relatively wide range of time and assigning a color gradient based on the density of the data points. The highest density is represented by the warmest color “red” while the lowest density is represented by the coolest color “blue” or “green”. The colors in between represent varying levels of density.
Service Guidelines for Safee's Heatmap Feature
- This feature can be granted to companies by enabling the permission Heatmap under the Monitoring permissions category.
- After a company gets this feature, a new icon will appear on the map on the monitoring page.
- Clicking on the heatmap icon takes the user to a new monitoring page with multiple filtering options and selections
Filtering and Customizing Heatmap Visualization
- Level filter. To choose for which vehicles the data will be visualized. Multi-selection is also available.
- Date filter. For the date range selection.
- Press the Filter button to start creating the heatmap of the selected vehicles and timeframe.
Additional Actions for Heatmap Customization
- Showing geofences on the same generated heatmap to double-check the vehicles’ movements against the geofences defined by the user.
- The vehicles panel includes an option for users to show or hide vehicle data on the map.
- Date scroller for editing the date range and watching the effect directly on the heatmap.
- Speed scroller to filter the heatmap data for a specific speed range.
- Ignition status selector for more determination.
- Radius scroller for editing the dimension of data points.
- Opacity scroller for changing data points transparency.
- Color scheme button to switch between two different color spectrums.
- Recenter button to center the map again on the default view.
By implementing Safee’s heatmap visualization feature, fleet managers gain powerful insights into their fleet operations, allowing them to optimize their decision-making process and improve overall efficiency and safety.
