NimBus Locator

Hi ,

Can passengers see the vehicles movement ? or is it only  time schedule for each stop ?

Tried locator for nimbus.It is a good begining. Eagerly Waiting for update with vehicle movement.

Great work.

it will be great if we can include searching between stops.
if possible include an  option to select routes for each locator link.

Is it possible to expire the link based on entering a specific geofence, rather than only by time expiration? e.g. once the vehicle arrives at a geofence, it deletes access to the link? Similar to Uber or Lyft?

Moving units looks great   We love it.
Do you know how often location is updated on the map ? is it as Wialon is receiving data from units or Nimbus has a update internal ?

As the locator feature has a time expiration, it does not matter where the vehicle is, it will automatically expire within that time period. Is it possible to set by geofence instead? Once the vehicle enters that geofence it kills the link?

e.g. Customer wants to use NimBus to track routes for parents, however they do not want the parents to continue to track the bus after it has arrived at their stop, or after it has arrived at the school. As this may be different times, due to traffic delays, a time expiration can be very limiting. However if the expiration is based on geofence, then the parents can only see up to until the bus enters the school. The bus can then continue to be used for other routes or other purposes without backend intervention to disable the locator feature.

fleettracker3, thank you for describing your idea. In this case you would have to create different links for the parents and it would probably be inconvenient for you.
As the locator doesn’t allow to divide one route into separate parts (distances between the school and each stop) we can say it is difficult to set different time of expiration for the same link, regardless entering geofences. And the locator actually tracks routes not units, so the parents will be able to use the link only for the route they need to track.
Also at the moment the locator tracks all the routes of the activated depot. For now we are working on the possibility to create separate links for each route groupes. We hope it will be helpful in resolving your issue.

Hello, orosgroup! Yes, data from the locator can be used for this purpose and integration with the app is possible. In this case you have an opportunity to develop a chatbot for Whatsapp that will perform this kind of function using our API.

We are glad to inform you that in the latest update NimBus v. 1.4.5 one of the new features is limitation of the Locator by group of routes: now the Locator can show not all the routes of a depot but part of them.

Hi ,
Does Gurtam has any plan to develop a mobile app for Nimbus ?

Hi ,
Thanks.
Can you provide more details ? or technical detail already available on Nimbus Documentation ?
