Installing and setting up TruETA Agent

Requirements
  • Your TMW Operations database must have the TruETA license applied.

  • You must have system administrator permissions to install and configure TruETA Agent.

TruETA Agent is a trip-planning tool that calculates an estimated time of arrival (ETA) for each stop along a route. You use the ETA Agent window to set up ETA calculations.

You can set up three levels of late notifications:

  • Warning

  • Alert

  • Critical

TruETA considers all of the following when calculating a stop’s ETAs:

  • Vehicle’s current location
    Location based on the GPS coordinates of the tractor’s check calls.

  • Driver Hours-of-Service (HOS)
    TruETA calculates time for required driver rest breaks and calculates remaining Hours-of-Service at each destination.

    Hours-of-Service calculated by Trimble Maps Hours-of-Service planning engine based on the hours recorded in the Driver Hours of Service window in TMW Operations.

  • Real-time and predictive traffic speeds
    Traffic speeds are calculated for each assigned route by the PC*MILER’s truck routing engine.

Follow these steps to install and configure TruETA.
