Installing and setting up 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.
