procedures manually unless FMS encounters problems when creating them.
o Database migration from a previous release to the current release has now become a
seamless feature. In previous releases, after FMS was upgraded, the connection with
the database had to be re-established. Now, FMS automatically uses the previously
configured database.
Data validation added to make sure that the ID numbers assigned to each CarChip and
DriveRight are unique.
The Pin Code and the Driver Logout time can now be transferred to the DriveRight via
the SmartCard.

DriveRight Fleet Management Software 3.0 Release Notes
DriveRight 3.0 is a total redesign of the earlier versions of the software. We designed and
developed the software with an aim to provide:
Robust database server support, to be able to handle large data.
Flexibility to configure and connect to more than one DataBase Management System
(DBMS).
Better Reports for both viewing and printing.
Improved Database Browser.
Better organization of data coming from different locations.
Improved user interface.
Important Features in DriveRight 3.0
Flexible Database support for almost any relational database which supports SQL
language, and has a OBDC driver.
Supports the following relational database servers: MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server and
Oracle.
Free support for MS Access and MSDE, which are ideal for small fleets with a single
user.
A location field was added to the database tables to facilitate ”r;rolling up” data which
makes it possible to manage data from many locations in one database.
FTP export and import data through the internet making it easier to move data from one
location to another.
Automatic backup and ”r;zipping” of data with the option of keeping a fixed number of
months in the database to help speed up operations.
The ”r;Add DriveRight” wizard makes adding a DriveRight to the program simpler and
less prone to mistakes.
Elimination of redundant reports and the addition of several new reports.
Reorganized reports menu with several new and redesigned reports.
10
DriveRight FMS Help
Improved viewing and printing of reports.
New ”r;usage” report to help trace night and weekend driving.
Improved exception reports for Excessive Speed, Hard Braking, and Night Driving.
A ”r;Relationship” report that shows a list of all DriveRights, which vehicles they are
assigned to, along with a default driver if one has been assigned.
Improved browser with user-configurable colors, fonts, and field widths.
Simplified filter support to make it easier to select what you want.
Use of standard calendar control for specifying dates.
Email support for all Excel generated reports.
Supports Palm PDA download of DriveRight consoles.
Operational differences between DriveRight 3.0 and earlier versions
The operation of DriveRight 3.0 is very similar to 2.x, but there are some fundamental changes
that you should be aware of.
In 2.x the vehicle table contained all the information about a particular DriveRight, in
addition to information on the vehicle. However, in 3.0 a new table was introduced, the
DriveRights table, which stores DriveRight console information. Vehicle information is
stored in the vehicle table, and DriveRight information is stored in the new DriveRights
table. In 3.0 , a DriveRight must be ”r;assigned” to a vehicle. When your old data is
converted, for each vehicle in 2.x a new DriveRight and vehicle is created in the 3.0
database.
Note: A DriveRight is identified using it’s DriveRight ID, and a particular vehicle is identified
using it’s Vehicle ID.
Note: A ”r;relationship” report was added to the program to help clarify the relationship
between vehicles, DriveRights, and drivers.
The ”r;Set DriveRight” option in 2.06/2.6.1 appears as ”r;View/Set” in the
”r;DriveRight/DriveRight Settings” menu. Unlike 2.06/2.6.1, when changes are made to a
DriveRight using this option, they are also stored in the DriveRight table.
Adding a new DriveRight to the program can now be done more easily using the Add
New DriveRight wizard which steps you through the process and helps clarify where you
stand with respect to the calibration of the DriveRight.
You will also notice that every table now has a ”r;location” field. The location field was
added to facilitate ”r;rolling up” of data from many locations so they can be managed in
one database.

Right Fleet Management Software (FMS) architecture allows the software to be connected
to any of the Database Servers we support. The communication between DriveRight FMS and
Database is done through an OBDC connection by means of an OBDC driver. Currently
DriveRight FMS supports MS Access, My SQL, MSDE, SQL Server and Oracle databases. Other
databases may be added in the future.
The following figure illustrates how DriveRight FMS connects to the back-end Database Server.
Note: DriveRight can only be connected to one database at a time.
When DriveRight FMS is opened for the first time, the user is prompted to select the database
type to be used for this installation. Based on the user's selection, a connection is established to
one of the OBDC drivers. The database type is stored in the configuration file.

Converting 2.04-2.06/2.6.1 Database to DriveRight FMS
Format
A separate conversion utility, OldToNew, has been included with the DriveRight FMS software to
allow the conversion of existing DriveRight 2.04, 2.05, 2.06 and 2.6.1 database files for use with
DriveRight FMS.
Note: This conversion utility can only be used with databases created by DriveRight 2.04, 2.05,
2.06 or 2.6.1. If you are using an earlier version of the DriveRight software you must first upgrade
to one of the supported versions.
Use the following procedure to convert your existing DriveRight database for use with DriveRight
FMS:
1. Install and run DriveRight FMS before you convert your data to the new format.
2. Verify the current location in DriveRight FMS using the Current Location command in the
Setup Menu. This location information will be associated with all the 2.x data when
converted into the new database format.
13
DriveRight FMS User's manual
3. To import data to a new location, select the Company Locations command in the
Database Menu in DriveRight FMS, then click the Add New button in the Company Locations
browse window.
4. Go to Startup>Programs>DriveRight and run OldToNew.
5. To import data, select the location from the drop down list.
6. Click the Browse button to select the DriveRight 2.x tables directory (By default it is
C:\Program Files\DriveRight Software\tables).
7. Click the Convert button to start the conversion. Once the data is converted you will see a
success message.
14
DriveRight FMS Help
Note: The conversion process can take a long time depending on the size of your 2.x database.
You can interrupt the conversion at any time by clicking the stop button, but this is not
recommended.
8. All the 2.x data has been converted into the new database format for DriveRight FMS.
9. Go to DriveRight FMS and view various tables using the Database Menu commands to

7. Set Default DriveRight Settings Wizard
The values entered in this setup are used as default settings when you add new DriveRight
devices to the database. You can set DriveRight default values using the Default DriveRight
Settings Wizard in the Setup Menu. Check the default settings to make sure they suit your
application.
8. Set Default CarChip Settings
The values entered in this setup are used as default settings when you add new CarChip devices
to the database. You can set CarChip default values using the Default CarChip Settings
command in the Setup Menu. Check the default settings to make sure they suit your application.
Note: If you are using both DriveRight and CarChip devices in your fleet, be sure to set the Safety
Settings uniformly for both types of devices.
9. Select the Communications Port and Test Communications

communications port used to connect to a DriveRight device.
Select Communications Port - CarChip from the Setup Menu to select the
communications port used to connect to a CarChip device.
Click Auto Detect in the Communications Port dialog box to test communication.
10. CarChip / DriveRight Considerations
If both a CarChip device and DriveRight console are installed in the same vehicle, you
will need to create duplicate entries in the DriveRight FMS databases for the vehicle and
driver. Otherwise you will see duplicate trip data in your DriveRight FMS reports.
If you have multiple communications ports, you can connect a CarChip to one
communications port and DriveRight to another. If you do not have multiple
communications ports we recommend you buy a serial switch box to switch between the
two devices or a serial extension cord to make plugging and unplugging the download
cables more convenient.
11. Building Your Database Tables
16
DriveRight FMS Help
When you add a DriveRight or a CarChip you will need to assign a default vehicle. When
you add a vehicle you will need to assign a default driver. So, it is most efficient to add
the drivers first, the vehicles second and the DriveRights third.
1. Add all drivers.
2. Add all vehicles.
3. Add all DriveRights and CarChips.
When you add a CarChip you will need to assign it to either a vehicle or a driver. If you
assign CarChip to a vehicle, all the downloaded data is assigned to the default driver of
that vehicle. If you assign a CarChip to a driver, all the downloaded data is assigned to
that driver and the vehicle will be unallocated.
o If a CarChip will only be used in one vehicle, assign it to that vehicle.
o If a CarChip will be used by only one driver, assign it to that driver. A CarChip
assigned to a driver can be used in multiple vehicles.
