Fleet Dashboard

Fleet Dashboard

The Fleet Dashboard at /transport/dashboard is your central command centre for all transport operations. It combines a live fleet map, active delivery timelines, status summaries, and compliance alerts into a single view that updates in real time via WebSocket.

Live Fleet Tracking Map

The top section of the dashboard displays an interactive Google Maps view showing the current position of every active vehicle in your fleet. Each marker is colour-coded by vehicle status:

• Green — active and available
• Blue — currently in transit on a trip
• Amber — undergoing maintenance
• Grey — inactive or retired

Click any map marker to open a summary popover with the vehicle registration, current driver, trip details, and a link to the full vehicle detail page. The map auto-centres to fit all visible vehicles, or you can pan and zoom manually.

Active Deliveries Timeline

Below the map, a horizontal timeline displays every trip currently marked as in transit. Each entry shows:

• Trip ID (e.g. TRP-042)
• Vehicle registration and driver name
• Origin and destination addresses
• Estimated time of arrival (ETA)
• Progress bar indicating distance covered versus distance remaining

Trips that are running behind schedule are highlighted with an amber warning indicator. Clicking any timeline entry opens the trip detail page.

Fleet Status Summary Cards

A row of summary cards provides an at-a-glance breakdown of your fleet:

Card	Description
Total Vehicles	Count of all registered vehicles (excluding retired)
Active	Vehicles with an active status, ready for assignment
In Maintenance	Vehicles currently undergoing maintenance work
Inactive	Vehicles temporarily out of service
Trips Today	Number of trips scheduled, in transit, or completed today
Vehicles in Transit	Vehicles currently on an active trip

Quick Statistics

Below the summary cards, three key metrics for the current month are displayed:

• Total Mileage — aggregate distance covered by all vehicles this month
• Fuel Cost — total fuel expenditure recorded across all fuel log entries
• Average Fuel Efficiency — fleet-wide miles per gallon (or litres per 100 km, depending on your unit settings)

Compliance Alerts

The compliance section lists vehicles and drivers approaching or past key expiry dates:

• MOT expiry — flagged 30 days before the due date
• Insurance renewal — flagged 30 days before expiry
• Road tax expiry — flagged 30 days before the due date
• Driver licence expiry — flagged 60 days before expiry

Overdue items are shown in red with an urgent badge. Upcoming items appear in amber. Each alert links directly to the relevant vehicle or driver record for immediate action.

Real-Time Updates

The entire dashboard refreshes automatically via WebSocket events. When a trip status changes, a vehicle location updates, or a new defect is reported, the dashboard reflects the change within seconds — no manual page refresh required.

Advanced Transport Addon Enhancements

Organisations subscribed to the Advanced Transport addon (£49/mo) receive an enhanced map experience, including:

• Live GPS trails — dotted path lines showing where each vehicle has travelled
• Speed indicators — real-time speed displayed next to each vehicle marker
• Idle detection — vehicles stationary for more than a configurable threshold are flagged automatically
