Public Works User Guide

On the Rules page, there are six rules in the Material Management section required to support the Material Management reports. You must set these six rules to On to run the report.

Two reports are powered by the Rules mentioned above. Reports support material management for your fleet by displaying material usage on a per-trip basis or by generating a Material Management report for any uploaded Route Completion routes.

The Material Management reports provide detailed and summary totals for Winter Operation materials (solid, pre-wet, anti-ice), and operation activities (spread time, plow distance), per service group, route group, and routes.

Users must have the applicable security clearances enabled to view the Material Management reports.

The Replay feature allows you to replay trips for single or multiple vehicles to better understand how the driver's trip progressed. For example, you can view parts of the trip where the driver may have experienced delays, or drove at optimal speed and events or other insights.

To see a Replay:

1. Navigate to Trips History in the main menu.
2. Click the More dropdown and select Map options > Show replay.
3. Select the trips you want to replay and click play at the bottom of the map.
4. While watching the animated trip history, you can click pause at any time. You can also change the replay speed and use the timestamp bar to jump to a desired section of the trip.

On the Map, you can view the vehicles' previous trip and the vehicles' current position during a trip in progress at the same time. For example, a fleet involved with winter operations can see the previous trip activity of the snow plows and the current location of the snow plow in the trip history.

To use this feature, set Always show latest trip and current trip in progress to On from the Options menu on the Trips History page.

To view your spreader configuration:

1. Navigate to Assets in the main menu.
2. Select an asset from the list and click the Device & Settings tab.
3. Scroll down to OTHER DEVICES to see all the associated devices.
4. For each device, you can view the Last communicated date and time, Serial number, and Status.

The Route Completion feature ensures that important infrastructure is serviced adequately while controlling costs and tracking material usage. Government agencies who manage assets such as salt spreaders, snow plows, street sweepers, and waste management assets can benefit from the feature for complying with maintenance and service standards.

To import Routes:

1. Navigate to Public Works > Route Completion Settings in the main menu.
2. You can import your routes by uploading a Shapefile.

To make future edits to your routes after the initial shapefile is uploaded or to manage multiple services using the same route, it is recommended to upload changes via the Excel option. For details and instructions, refer to the Route Completion Excel/CSV import guide.

As the vehicles complete the various imported routes, you can view Route Completion in the Map menu. Ensure the applicable security clearances are enabled for users to view this report: View Route Completion reports and View event rules

   1. Click the dropdown next to Controller Type.
   2. Select the desired Spreader Controller from the list.
6. Ensure the vehicle's ignition is on.
7. Click Set Spreader to send the controller configuration to the IOX-WRKS.

8. An "in progress" message will appear and then change to a "success" message once the process is complete.
   Note: This message should appear within a few seconds but can take up to one minute.

After sending the Spreader Controller configuration, verify simulated controller data.

1. Begin Simulation Mode on the Spreader Controller that is connected to the IOX-WRKS.
   Note: The vehicle's ignition must be on during this test.
2. Open the Fleet Management application and navigate to Productivity > Public Works > Spreader Controller on the main menu.
3. On the Spreader Controller Configuration page:
   1. Select your vehicle from the Select Vehicle dropdown.
   2. Type part of the vehicle name or serial number to narrow your results.

5. Initially, you may not see any data for Spreader Controller details. You can expect to see the controller data reporting within five minutes.
   Note: This data should match the Spreader Controller display in your vehicle.
   
   
   

The Telematics Device must be on the GO Plan to send and receive data with the IOX-WRKS. If your device does not have this plan, contact your Partner.

The Telematics Device won't display a Rate Plan until it's installed in a vehicle. It needs to establish its first connection with the server to receive updates and report its plan information.

A timeout message after using the Set Spreader button indicates that the action wasn't completed within one minute. Here's what you should do:

1. Ensure you have the correct Telematics Device and Spreader Controller selected.
2. In the Device Information section, confirm the following:
   • IOX-WRKS is Detected.
   • The device has the GO Plan.
   • There is an IOX-WRKS Firmware present.
3. If all of the checks are successful, try the Set Spreader button again.
4. If the timeout message persists, contact Support.
