Use cases

You can retrieve valuable EROAD data for importing into other systems. The following use cases illustrate the endpoints available.

	DESCRIPTION	USE CASE
Vehicle Location	The vehicle current state endpoint enables you to retrieve current vehicle state, location and other valuable information.	- Integrate EROAD tracking into a proprietary tracking/dispatch system, so it continuously polls for vehicle locations. - Integrate EROAD distance readings into a proprietary maintenance or a lease module, so it queries daily/weekly readings.
Driver Hours of Service	The hours of service endpoints enable retrieval of US Hours of Service, (e.g., driver duty time, work availability) for an organization.	- A third-party partner can integrate Hours of Service data into a relevant TMS system to display driver availability.
Manage Vehicles / Fleet	The vehicle and fleet endpoints enable access, modify and delete vehicles within EROAD for an organization.	- Connect your back end asset management systems to automatically maintain vehicle information to avoid unnecessary and inefficient manual effort.
Manage Geofences Geofence Notifications	The geofence endpoint enables you to create and manage geofences within EROAD for an organization. The geofence notification endpoint enables you to receive truck entry and exit notifications.	- Use to modify or delete Geofences. - Create single or bulk radial and polygonal geofences. - Retrieve the list of Geofences that satisfy the criteria. - If latitutde/longitude is provided, retrieve all Geofences which fall within the co-ordinates. - Truck departs from the shipper's location. - Truck arrives at the consignee's location. - Truck's actual route is outside the planned route.
