1. Overview
Driver safety and productivity are of paramount importance to the
road transport industry. The Hours of Service (HOS) solution by
MiX Telematics is a comprehensive electronic toolkit that enables
the efficient monitoring of drivers’ on-duty time. The solution works
in conjunction with MiX Telematics’ on-board computer and online
tracking and monitoring software.
HOS by MiX Telmatics is designed to allow drivers to effectively
manage and reduce fatigue, therefore improving safety
performance. Along with the key benefit of improved safety, fleet
operators are able to comply with HOS regulations across different
states as well as different countries – merely with the click of a
button. It offers a paperless method that simplifies adherence to
HOS rules. The HOS solution is a global state-of-the-art innovation,
yet it is locally relevant. Although driver-centric, the solution is
designed to minimise interference with the driver. It enables
operators to improve overall efficiency, while reducing business risk
related to safety and fatigue.
The Hours of Service solution forms part of the broader MiX
SafeDrive offering by MiX Telematics, which assists customers with
the implementation of globally proven road safety strategies.
How does it work?
The MiX Telematics HOS solution extracts information from a
combination of vehicle telematics data and electronic driver
input. It allows for a real-time, driver-centric view of accurate
information. Drivers can log on and off duty, regardless of
whether they are in a vehicle or not. They can also indicate other
statuses like rest stops or customer site visits.
Using a driver plug, the driver can log in for duty in one of three
ways: via a MiX Telematics in-cab display, the MiX Rovi II; at
a location-based PC kiosk that features the ‘HOS Timeclock’
interface; or via a mobile device. The solution is flexible,
accommodating different types of operations as well as vehicle
types.
The need for managing HOS
A growing number of countries and regions are incorporating
driving hour regulations into their laws, requiring technology
enablers. In addition, more industries are committing to the
regulation of working hours, in order to improve driver safety
and compliance. The HOS solution by MiX Telematics is ideal for
operators who are actively trying to increase productivity, better
manage safety-related liability and enhance customer service.

MyMiX Advisor
MyMiX Advisor is a mobile component of the Hours of
Service solution. The app is purposely designed to
assist drivers with fatigue management via their mobile
phone. Among other things, it enables drivers to view and
change their driving status, view available hours, share
inspection reports and receive notifications – all without
the need for a driver plug. Data synchronises with the
HOS system using mobile data access. MyMiX Advisor is
available for IOS and Android.

Driver status data is automatically and manually input into the HOS system
using multiple technologies. This improves data accuracy and integrity.
Provides a location-based data entry and alerting point for drivers to view
and manage their HOS status using their driver plug.
Support for regulatory-compliant driver plugs as a portable storage device
for HOS data.
Drivers receive alerts in real-time from in-cab or from the MyMiX Advisor
application, as to when they are about to exceed, or have exceeded, the
driving hours permitted by their assigned rule-set.
Drivers, managers and authorities can view driver log data in real-time as a
graph or as a table summary. Driver status data can be edited for specific
scenarios.
Managers can monitor all aspects of HOS operations and compliance,
through a single web browser interface. Detailed and accurate information
is integrated from the HOS data sources and combined with vehicle
telematics data to provide a complete picture of on-duty activities for each
driver and vehicle.
Summary and detailed HOS reporting is available through MiX Insight
Reports including IFTA reports.
Drivers can log non-driving status information into the system using the
multiple data entry points. Details such as trailer hooks and invoice data
capture can also be input, along with capturing vehicle inspections and
logging exemptions to driving hours violations, for example, emergency or
poor weather conditions.
Support for all required regulatory HOS rule-sets. The HOS rules engine
also allows for company-specific HOS rules to be easily implemented.
