Summary Background:
Samsara Vehicle Gateways are a 5G based vehicle interface. They provide real time GPS tracking of City owned vehicles. They also provide real time vehicle analytics. If a vehicle displays a check engine light, a notice is immediately sent to the fleet manager with the available data of what caused the light to be displayed. This will allow the fleet manager to address issues as they happen and not have to wait for it to be reported, or for when the vehicle comes in for its next PM service. This will help to reduce the down time of the vehicle and save money on maintenance. In addition, vehicles can be outfitted with cameras that provide real time AI driver analytics to improve safety and lower insurance costs.
Next Steps:
Issue purchase order and schedule installation of the systems.
Fiscal Impact:
NTE $45,000
