Descartes Routing and Scheduling can display when a vehicles temperature reading goes above a specified temperature or below a specified temperature based on the GPS status. The temperature readings will be displayed in the form of an icon on the GPS message itself or from the route header in the Route or Route Detail quadrants. This visibility will allow users to keep track of alerts or warnings that may require special attention.
The minimum and maximum temperatures are specified when users configure geofencing, see Configuring Geofencing for more details.
When a user clicks on a stop or GPS message, if the temperature reading is below the minimum or above the maximum, the truck’s background on the map will change to black as shown below.
A user can also see when thermometer readings are violated in the Routes and Route Detail quadrants. The readings will be displayed in the Temperature column.
