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 method for assessing vehicle efficiency, the method comprising: receiving, via one or more processors, 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; andd
1. A method for assessing vehicle efficiency, the method comprising: receiving, via one or more processors, 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; anddetermining, via the one or more processors and 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 method of claim 1, wherein said step of determining said corrected engine idle time percentage comprises: determining, via the one or more processors and 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, via the one or more processors and 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, via the one or more processors and 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, via the one or more processors and 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 via the one or more processors, 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 method of claim 2, wherein said step of determining said total amount of engine idle time comprises: identifying, via the one or more processors and based at least in part on said telematics data, segments of engine idle time occurring during said certain time period; andsumming, via the one or more processors, the durations of said engine idle time segments. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein said step of determining an amount of engine idle time caused by travel delays comprises: identifying, via the one or more processors and based at least in part on said telematics data, those of said engine idle time segments caused by travel delays; andsumming via the one or more processors, the duration of said engine idle segments caused by travel delays. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising steps for: receiving, via the one or more processors, user input comprising an evaluation time period; anddefining, via the one or more processors, said evaluation time period as said certain time period. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising steps for: determining, via the one or more processors, a target engine idle time percentage for said vehicle;comparing, via the one or more processors, said target engine idle time percentage to said corrected engine idle time percentage; andgenerating, via the one or more processors, an alert where a corrected engine idle time percentage exceeds said target engine idle time percentage. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising steps for generating, via the one or more processors, a graphical display indicating said corrected engine idle time percentage. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein said step of receiving said telematics data comprises steps for: receiving, via the one or more processors, user input requesting retrieval of vehicle telematics data relating to one or more user parameters;retrieving, via the one or more processors, certain vehicle telematics data relating to said parameters from one or more data repositories; andloading, via the one or more processors, said certain vehicle telematics data to one or more memory storage areas. 9. A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising: an executable portion 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; andan executable portion configured to determine, 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. 10. The computer program product of claim 9, wherein said executable portion configured to determine a corrected engine idle time percentage comprises: an executable portion configured to determine, based at least in part on said telematics data, a total amount of engine running time for said vehicle during said certain time period;an executable portion configured to determine, based at least in part on said telematics data, a total amount of engine idle time for said vehicle during said certain time period;an executable portion configured to determine, 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;an executable portion configured to determine, 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; andan executable portion configured to determine said corrected engine idle time percentage based on said total amount of engine running time and said corrected amount of engine idle time. 11. The computer program product of claim 10, wherein said executable portion configured to determine said total amount of engine idle time comprises: an executable portion configured to identify, based at least in part on said telematics data, segments of engine idle time occurring during said certain time period; andan executable portion configured to sum the durations of said engine idle time segments. 12. The computer program product of claim 11, wherein said executable portion configured to determine an amount of engine idle time caused by travel delays comprises: an executable portion configured to identify, based at least in part on said telematics data, those of said engine idle time segments caused by travel delays; andan executable portion configured to sum the duration of said engine idle segments caused by travel delays. 13. The computer program product of claim 9, further comprising: an executable portion configured to receive user input comprising an evaluation time period; andan executable portion configured to define said evaluation time period as said certain time period. 14. The computer program product of claim 9, further comprising: an executable portion configured to determine a target engine idle time percentage for said vehicle;an executable portion configured to compare said target engine idle time percentage to said corrected engine idle time percentage; andan executable portion configured to generate an alert where a corrected engine idle time percentage exceeds said target engine idle time percentage. 15.
