Research and Development of an E85 Alternative Fuel Fleet Monitoring System, Phase III

This study involved development, deployment, and evaluation of a telematics architecture for E85 (ethanol) fleet monitoring and fuel use across four California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Districts. It integrated both cellular and wi-fi data reporting at each of the four District locations for comparison and analysis. The collected vehicle data identifies vehicle activity trends which impact fuel use and refueling activities. This expanded deployment has provided and demonstrated the feasibility of collecting combined fleet operations and refueling activity in a single centralized system. This project provides a means for managers and supervisors to access these data in a meaningful way. The developed system includes on-board monitoring hardware that has telematics capabilities of sending this information to a system server that is readily accessed via the Internet.
