MoveItNow Suite

ETA Calculator

"We like to think this suite is a unique piece of design work that fits the needs of a diverse transportation company."

This module is meant to be run once per organization. It will loop through all incomplete hauler activity entries and attempt to calculate the Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) to the next activity (i.e. if an order has not been picked up yet, the system will use the pickup site for the calculation. Other wise it used the destination site.) A vehicle must be assigned for the system to be able to fetch the current GPS coordinates as the starting point for this calculation.

Taking the GPS coordinates of the vehicle and the address of the site, the system will calculate the driving time via ProMiles. This drive time is then added to the current time (with adjustments for time zones) to calculate the ETA.

ProMiles can be set to use speed restrictions, driving time restrictions, etc. These restrictions are not utilized by this calculation. There is no support for "team" drivers.
