Handy & Safe: route navigation specially made for spreading actions

Winter is just around the corner. After completing your fleet review, it’s time to prepare for the first gritting action of the season, a task that always demands both time and precision. Once your routes are updated, the next challenge is making sure your drivers know about the changes. The answer: Jewel’s RouteNavigation app. Here’s why.

Safe actions

Safety on the roads, and for the drivers themselves, is paramount when combating icy conditions. It’s crucial that gritter drivers can follow their routes smoothly and safely. That’s why convenience is such an important pillar of effective route navigation for spreading operations.

Knowing the right route

Drivers need to be fully informed about any route changes. They must know exactly where to spread and what specific conditions to consider. With clear instructions from the route navigation system, drivers always understand what is expected of them. On the in-cab tablet, they can see both their upcoming tasks and the streets they’ve already covered. This minimizes the risk of missed roads and helps keep the streets safe. 

Switch quickly

Routes are quickly and easily loaded onto the in-cab tablet via an internet connection, no USB sticks required. This makes it simple to adjust routes whenever needed. Additional instructions can be added at specific points along the route, making the driving experience even more straightforward and convenient for every driver.
