GPS monitoring of locomotives and diesel locomotives

The main source of losses for many enterprises is fuel theft. It is one thing to drain 20-50 liters for a truck or up to 100 liters for a combine, but it is completely different when the drain occurs on a shunting locomotive, where the fuel tank reaches 3 tons, and an experienced driver can grow from 100 to 500 liters of fuel per shift. ...

To improve the efficiency of locomotives, it is necessary to install GPS monitoring with a level and fuel consumption sensor, with the help of this equipment, you can track the volume of fuel filled, consumption, and identify drains and underfills of fuels and lubricants.

The effect of the introduction of GPSM on rail transport:

• reduction of fuel costs for detecting fuel leaks and theft;
  
• reducing the downtime of locomotives;
• reduced maintenance costs.

The GPSM system for diesel locomotives consists of:

✔️ GPS tracker (from UAH 1565, tracks location, counts engine hours, has a function of remote engine blocking)

✔️ Digital fuel level sensor Pro Sensor (from UAH 2999, a high-precision sensor measures the volume and level of fuel in the tanks of vehicles).

✔️ Fuel consumption sensor (Single-chamber from 6430 UAH, Two-chamber from 8899 UAH. The price depends on the type of fuel system and engine power. The highest accuracy of fuel consumption control, error +/- 0.9%, protection against the use of a magnet, impossibility of wrapping)

✔️ Online video monitoring (The price depends on the number of cameras, from UAH 11,000 to UAH 27,000)

* also, you can independently use the constructor of the choice of GPS equipment for trains.

GPS functions for monitoring the location and movement of the locomotive:

• Online location of the locomotive on the map in real time or at any given time;
  
• Stop control allows you to see all the locomotive stops on the map and the exact time spent on them;
• Route control allows you to view the route for any selected period of time;
• Speed ​​control allows you to monitor the sharp acceleration and deceleration of the locomotive, as well as constant movement speed.
• Analysis of the quality of locomotive control and timely work with the driver significantly reduce repair costs.

Fuel control:

• Fuel consumption in real time;
  
• Fuel consumption report for a certain period of time;
• Tracking fuel drains or underfills;
• Control of refueling (number of liters, date and time, place of refueling);
• The current fuel level in the tank in real time.

Possibilities of GPS monitoring of engine operation:

1. Accounting for engine hours allows you to register and control the real time of the locomotive engine;
2. RPM control allows you to see the current engine RPM, impermissible overshoots and dangerously low engine RPMs;
3. Temperature control allows you to control the current temperature and establish the facts of movement of a locomotive with a cold or overheated engine.
4. It becomes possible to see in advance the malfunctions of the engine cooling system and prevent engine failure;
5. Oil pressure monitoring allows you to identify cases of low engine oil pressure for timely decision-making on their elimination.

Software

Local GPSM is a modern vehicle and personnel GPS monitoring tool designed to track the location of objects, as well as control their parameters and condition. Includes WEB interface and Android and IOS mobile applications. The cost of the subscription fee is according to the tariffs on this page.

2. Report on stops. The report on stops differs from the vehicle stops in that this table contains information about downtime, the duration of which was less than 5 minutes. All downtime of a vehicle with a duration of more than 5 minutes are considered "Stops" and are formed in the "Stops" table.

3. Report on parking. The parking report is formed by an intuitive principle: the “Parking” table contains data on the start of the parking, the duration of the downtime, the end of the downtime, and data on the parking location is also recorded - the address is indicated.

4. Report on fuel consumption. The fuel consumption report is generated based on the fuel consumption rates and is calculated based on the mileage data. Also, a report is generated based on the data of a high-precision fuel level sensor, standard sensor, fuel flow meter or other measuring instruments.

5. Report on visits to geofences. If you mark the objects or territories of interest to you on the map, then when passing through these selected areas, the data on such an event will be displayed in the table of the "Visiting geofences" report.
