Q&A

Why is distance important?
• Goal: data accuracy
• Distance is used as a basis for rate sourcing/quoting,
planning, dispatch, execution, settlement and reporting
• As data accuracy goes up, so does our ability to perform
• Often drives service time
• Distance options:
• Estimate
• Lookup
• OTM Tables
• External Distance
Engines

6.3 Enhancements
• Equipment-specific Routing
• Potentially different distances based on equipment size
• Includes Length, Width, Height and Weight
• PC*Miler Streets and eLocation
• Planning assigns equipment group
• Manually assign equipment type
• Run action “assign rate”
to re-evaluate distance
• What this does NOT do:

•
•
Address validation
Geocoding
Distance
Drive time
Routing & turn-by-turn directions
• Comprised of three components

eLocation
Why eLocation vs. Spatial?
• Oracle Spatial has many applications
• Land management
• Utilities
• Defense/Homeland Security
• OTM leverages only a portion of Oracle Spatial
• Licensing implications in sales cycles

Product Roadmap
© 2010 Oracle Corporation – Proprietary and Confidential
External Distance Engine
Enhancement Areas
• Support for equipment specific routing
• Length / Width / Height restrictions, weight restrictions, dimensions, to ensure
driver safety and compliance
• Tolls
• Ensure that tolls are factored into shipment plan when routing a shipment
• Ability to calculate toll costs when calculating shipment costs
• Provide dispatchers with routing options based on reducing toll roads in route
• Hazmat Routing and Scheduling
• Ability to support the transportation restrictions of hazardous items when
planning a shipment to ensure regulatory compliance
• Plan shipments along routes that understand whether hazardous
classifications (explosives, gas, flammable, flammable solid combustible,
organic, poison, radioactive, corrosive, poisonous inhalation and other items)
can be legally transported.
• Ensure drive compliance and safety with DOT regulations
• Provide visual representation of hazmat-specific roadways within map
© 2010 Oracle Corporation – Proprietary and Confidential
External Distance Engine
Enhancement Areas
• Congestion and Traffic routing
• Ability to support historical and real-time congestion and traffic routing
• Historical: provides historical information when determining time required
to complete a route. Information is presented to user to make decisions
about how to route shipment.
• E.g., Historically, George Washington Bridge in NYC has speed
restrictions of 25 MPH between 8-10 AM.
• Real-time: Ability to capture and interpret real-time traffic reports to
support dynamic routing decisions
• Display planned versus actual miles on map
• Ability to display bread crumb miles and compare to planned miles on a map
• Utilize OTM Mobile Comm framework to ping mobile comm devices within
trucks to capture actual truck locations
• Work with strategic mobile comm partners to enable and streamline solution.
© 2010 Oracle Corporation – Proprietary and Confidential
External Distance Engine
Enhancement Areas
• Fuel Tax
• Allow OTM to capture fuel purchases and miles driven by state in order to
accurately calculate and pay fuel taxes.
• Fuel Optimization
• Use existing fuel level information and fuel price feeds to drive optimal
routing and re-fueling locations.
• Additional sources for map content and mapping functions
• Provide alternatives for mapping content and functionality, in both on-premise
and SaaS delivery models.
© 2010 Oracle Corporation – Proprietary and Confidential
External Distance Engine
Enhancement Areas
• Geo-fencing for Routes
• Build virtual fences around planned shipment routes and determine when
vehicle has deviated from plan
• Historical validation: Ability to analyze planned vs. actual miles to
determine if and how far the driver went out of route on a delivery.
• Real-time exception management: Ability to determine when a driver has
driven out of route by defined distance and notify planner to take
corrective action.
• Geo-fencing for Locations
• Define geo-fence around a warehouse or delivery location to proactively alert
involved parties when a define event has occurred
• E.g., notify warehouse receiving manager when truck is less than 50
miles from warehouse dock
© 2010 Oracle Corporation – Proprietary and Confidential
External Distance Engine
Enhancement Areas
• Event Management
• Display on map all shipments that aren't going to meet delivery date
requirements and are in a LATE classification so the dispatcher can
proactively manage shipment
• Equipment drag and drop
• Ability to display the following information for truck fleet
• All truck locations
• All available work for trucks
• Drag and drop work onto trucks (or vice versa)
• Map-display of shipments needing assets, asset proximity, and allow easy
assignment of the asset (equipment) to the shipment
• Ability to draw a radial circle around a truck and manually assign work to a
truck via OTM actions.
© 2010 Oracle Corporation – Proprietary and Confidential
External Distance Engine
Enhancement Areas
• Advanced Layout / Mapping enhancements
• Configure panel to be a map rather than finder results
• Identification of fuel stops along routes and cheapest fuel stops.
• Display maintenance stations, truck stops, etc. to support driver satisfaction
