According to various embodiments, a fleet management system is provided for capturing, storing, and analyzing telematics data to improve fleet management operations. The fleet management system may be used, for example, by a shipping entity (e.g., a common carrier) to capture telematics data from a plurality of vehicle sensors located on various delivery vehicles and to analyze the captured telematics data. In particular, various embodiments of the fleet management system are configured to analyze engine idle data in relation to other telematics data in order to identify inefficiencies, safety hazards, and theft hazards in a driver's delivery process. The fleet management system may also be configured to assess various aspects of vehicle performance, such as vehicle travel delays and vehicle speeds. These analytical capabilities allow the fleet management system to assist fleet managing entities, or other entities, in analyzing driver performance, reducing fuel and maintenance costs, and improving route planning.

1. A fleet management computer system comprising: one or more memory storage areas; andone or more processors; wherein said one or more processors are, collectively, configured to: receive telematics data collected by one or more vehicle sensors associated with a vehicle, wherein said telematics data is indicative of the engine run time and engine idle time of said vehicle; anddetermine, based at least in part on said telematics data, a corrected engine idle time percentage indicating a percentage of said vehicle's engine run time that said vehicle's engine was idling exclusive of engine idle time caused by travel delays during a certain time period. 2. The fleet management computer system of claim 1, wherein said one or more processors are configured to determine said corrected engine idle time percentage by: determining, based at least in part on said telematics data, a total amount of engine running time for said vehicle during said certain time period;determining, based at least in part on said telematics data, a total amount of engine idle time for said vehicle during said certain time period;determining, based at least in part on said telematics data, an amount of engine idle time caused by travel delays for said vehicle during said certain time period;determining, based on said total amount of engine idle time and said amount of engine idle time caused by travel delays, a corrected amount of engine idle time representing the total amount of engine idle time exclusive of engine idle time caused by travel delays; anddetermining said corrected engine idle time percentage based on said total amount of engine running time and said corrected amount of engine idle time. 3. The fleet management computer system of claim 2, wherein said one or more processors are configured to determine said total amount of engine idle time by: identifying, based at least in part on said telematics data, segments of engine idle time occurring during said certain time period; andsumming the durations of said engine idle time segments. 4. The fleet management computer system of claim 3, wherein said one or more processors are configured to determine said amount of engine idle time caused by travel delays by: identifying, based at least in part on said telematics data, those of said engine idle time segments caused by travel delays; andsumming the duration of said engine idle segments caused by travel delays. 5. The fleet management computer system of claim 1, wherein said one or more processors are further configured to: receive user input comprising an evaluation time period; anddefine said evaluation time period as said certain time period. 6. The fleet management computer system of claim 1, wherein said one or more processors are further configured to: determine a target engine idle time percentage for said vehicle;compare said target engine idle time percentage to said corrected engine idle time percentage; andgenerate an alert where a corrected engine idle time percentage exceeds said target engine idle time percentage. 7. The fleet management computer system of claim 1, wherein said one or more processors are further configured to generate a graphical display indicating said corrected engine idle time percentage. 8. The fleet management computer system of claim 1, wherein said one or more processors are configured to receive said telematics data by: receiving user input requesting retrieval of vehicle telematics data relating to one or more user parameters;retrieving certain vehicle telematics data relating to said parameters from one or more data repositories; andloading said certain vehicle telematics data to said one or more memory storage areas.
