About

PTV Driver App

Features
Read full description

PTV Driver App Description The PTV Driver App is a complementary tool for the calculation of road transport arrival time. The app serves as a demonstrator and testing tool for customers with the PTV Drive&Arrive cloud service. On the basis of your shipment's position, which is sent by the app, PTV Drive&Arrive computes the exact expected arrival time of your shipment and automatically informs all registered participants. --- Initial Situation: In the case of a deviation from the planned trip (e.g. because of a traffic jam), an information deficit is faced by the entire transport chain. Routes and expected arrival times to the customer/ramp change and cannot be punctually communicated or rescheduled. Observance of driving and rest periods can lead to additional delays. The consequences are congestion, long waiting times at the ramp, delivery delays, and contractual penalties. To optimize this transport process, exact information regarding the expected arrival time (ETA) of a shipment at its handover point or the final destination in the delivery chain is required during the trip. PTV Drive&Arrive is the answer! The app service automatically helps inform all participants in the logistics supply chain of the estimated time of arrival (ETA) of shipments in real-time, enabling them to react quickly and dynamically. The ETA is calculated continuously, taking into account all relevant factors such as traffic, permanent road closures, driver driving and resting times, border waiting times, and truck-specific gangways. To calculate the exact arrival time based on the current location of the shipment, the driver automatically sends his position via the PTV Drive&Arrive Driver App (available here), thus providing the decisive calculation component. Please note: Using the app is free and serves to test the relevant Cloud services of PTV Drive&Arrive. The position of your shipments is anonymized during use and are only sent for calculation services; they are not tracked or announced publicly. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
