Mapon has developed a new report which displays historical data about all vehicles of the fleet that were in a specific location and during a specific period of time. The territory and time period can be easily customized so this report can be used for various fleet data analysis. The solution was initially developed for Riga City Municipal Police and has many applications. The police needed a quick and easy solution that would allow them to find out whether their vehicles had done patrolling in specific areas. Another problem was the processing of citizen complaints about police vehicles in specific locations and time without having information about police vehicle license plate. Requirements for these problems lead to a new report in Mapon system which can be used to track down all vehicles that have been within a specific region in a specific time interval. The usage is as simple as drawing a region on a map, selecting a date/time range and reviewing which vehicles have visited this region during the specified time period.
