The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet used Fleetwatcher's E-Ticketing solution on two research projects during the 2018 paving season in an effort to investigate the effectiveness of the electronic ticketing process in combination with both intelligent compaction and infrared temperature monitoring.  The two projects were KYTC's initial attempts to begin developing a system wherein the majority of material monitoring is done electronically, allowing a KYTC inspector to focus on a more visual inspection of the material being placed.

Earthwave Technologies will be promoting it's flagship Fleetwatcher solutions for Materials Management and E-ticketing at the Transportation Research Board's 98th annual meeting to be held at the Walter E Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. from January 13-17, 2019.  The conference is the largest event in North America for US DOT and State DOT Officials and addresses topics of interest to policy makers, administrators, practitioners, researchers, and representatives of government, industry, and academic institutions. 

Fleetwatcher customers across the country are raving about the ease-of-use of our new ELD application that was rolled out earlier this year to comply with the new mandate for electronic logs issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).  The new mandate goes into effect next month on December 18, 2017.  

A revolutionary new materials delivery solution developed by Earthwave Technologies for the asphalt paving industry has garnered the attention of Department of Transportation officials for its potential to replace paper tickets with accurate and verifiable electronic tickets that provide the proper documentation for deliveries to highway and road-building projects.

Utah’s Department of Transportation is hosting a workshop on e-construction on March 1-2 in Salt Lake City to cover the latest progress reports from leading states. A presentation by Greg Mulder, Director of Iowa DOT Office of Construction and Materials, will highlight Iowa’s use of e-tickets and e-document submittal using Fleetwatcher’s Materials Delivery Solution in 2015.

Initially developed for paving contractors to help reduce trucking costs and optimize cycle times, the solution was embraced by Mulder and his team as viable technology to replace paper tickets following a successful 90-day ‘proof of concept’ of the system with a local contractor in Ames IA. The solution and process worked very well for tracking and verifying the product life cycle from the certified plant to installation.
