Using Timelines

See a clear view of your vehicle’s daily activity, including start times, stops and journeys.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Timeline provides a visual way to review vehicle activity over time. See at a glance when vehicles are moving, stopped, or idling throughout the day or week.

Finding Timeline

Access Timeline through RAM Evolution in the top menu, then select Timeline.

Understanding the Daily Timeline

The daily timeline is straightforward to read:

  • Left side: Midnight last night

  • Right side: Midnight tonight

  • Everything between: Today's vehicle activity

Activity Colours

  • Green: Moving with ignition on

  • Red: Stopped

  • Blue: Idling (ignition on but stationary for at least three minutes)

You can see exactly when a vehicle was parked and follow its movements throughout the day. For example, you might see that a vehicle was parked until 12:51, then started moving.

Weekly Timeline View

The weekly timeline view is perfect for monitoring work patterns and ensuring drivers follow schedules. You can check whether people are arriving at sites or setting off when they should be.

Using Guidelines

The Show Guidelines feature helps you monitor punctuality:

  1. Set start time: Drag a guideline to your required start time (e.g., 8:30 for office arrival)

  2. Check compliance: See if drivers are still travelling when they should already be at work

  3. Add end time: Use a second guideline to mark the end of the working day

  4. Monitor early departures: Ensure people aren't leaving earlier than they should

Example: If your team should be in the office by 8:30, you can quickly see that John Smith has been arriving on time every day because he's not still driving when he should be at work.

Multiple Timelines

Use the Multiple Timelines option to review several vehicles' activity simultaneously on a 24-hour basis. This gives you a comprehensive view of your entire fleet's movements.

Why the Timeline is Useful

The timeline view transforms complex tracking data into an easy-to-understand visual format.

Instead of reading through detailed reports, you can instantly see patterns in vehicle usage, identify punctuality issues, and monitor compliance with work schedules.

It's particularly valuable for managers who need to quickly assess whether their team is following expected routines and timings.
