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.

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.

Database Backup Considerations
If you have GPS-enabled DriveRight and CarChip Fleet Pro devices, you will rapidly accumulate
a large amount of data in the GPS
Parameter Logs database table due to the frequency of vehicle speed logging.
To avoid the database from becoming unmanageable, you can export both the GPS and CarChip
Parameter Logs database tables more frequently than your normal backup interval, and delete
GPS and Carchip Parameter Log data by using the Maintenance
data for your reports while at the same time decreasing the database size.

Active Database Size Recommendations
The following recommendations are based on tests and calculations made with these
assumptions:
o 10 trips per day per vehicle
o Trip duration: 1 hour (10 hours driving time per day per vehicle)
o GPS data logged every 10 seconds
Note: If your fleet size exceeds the scenarios shown below, we recommend that you use a multiuser database.
Note: For multi-user databases, theoretically there is no fleet size limit. Still, we recommend that
you backup data once a month, keeping only the amount of data required for reporting purposes
in the active database, typically 3-6 months.

The Backup command is used to archive old data as a zip file. The backup files are stored in the
Backup sub-directory in the DriveRight FMS install directory. The Backup sub-directory is created
the first time you back up your data.
The backup zip files are named based on the start and end dates chosen for the backup. For
example, if you pick the dates between March 6, 2003 and March 27, 2003, the backup file will be
named 6March2003_27March2003.zip.
You can configure how much data to keep active after a backup by setting up your Preferences:
Backup Options in the Setup menu. Limiting the amount of data in the active database helps
prevent the database from growing into an unmanageable size.

Adding Drivers, Vehicles and CarChips
Please refer to the following guidelines when adding new drivers, vehicles, and CarChips
devices.
A CarChip device must be assigned to either a vehicle or a driver.
Unlike DriveRight devices, a CarChip device can be easily switched from vehicle to
vehicle, as long as all the vehicles provide a supported OBDII port.
26
DriveRight FMS Help
If a CarChip is assigned to a vehicle, the default driver of that vehicle will appear as the
driver on all downloaded data from that CarChip.
If a CarChip is assigned to a driver, then all data downloaded from that CarChip will be
associated with that driver and the vehicle will be listed as UNKNOWN VEHICLE.
If you just want to add a CarChip and you don’t yet have a vehicle or driver to assign, you
can select "UNKNOWN VEHICLE".
Based on your specific situation, you should carefully consider the options before
assigning a CarChip to either a vehicle or driver.

o If both a CarChip device and DriveRight console are installed in the same vehicle, you
will need to create two entries for the driver and two entries for the vehicle in the
DriveRight FMS database. Otherwise you will see duplicate trip data in your DriveRight
FMS reports.
o If you have multiple serial ports, you can connect CarChip to one serial port and
DriveRight to another. If you do not have multiple serial 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.
o If you are using both CarChip and DriveRight devices, make sure both types of devices
use the same safety settings.
Speed Band 3 in CarChip should match Speed Limit in DriveRight.
Hard Braking in CarChip should match Decel Limit in DriveRight.
Hard Acceleration in CarChip should match Accel Limit in DriveRight.

Method indicates Reed Switch.
o Reed Switch: If the DriveRight device has been previously calibrated in the
vehicle or through the software, then DriveRight FMS automatically calculates
the Calibration number for your vehicle. We strongly recommend that you do not
change these values. The PPR for a reed switch is always ”1”.
5. If the DriveRight is using the vehicle's VSS for the speed sensor, make sure the
Installation Method indicates VSS.
o VSS: If the DriveRight device has been previously calibrated in the vehicle or
through the software, then DriveRight FMS automatically calculates the VSS
PPM (Pulses Per Mile), PPR (pulses per reading) and Calibration number for
your vehicle. Otherwise you must specify the PPM for your vehicle. Depending
on your selection, software calculates the PPR (pulses per reading) and
calibration values and fills the edit boxes with them.
6. If you are using the VSS, you can adjust the pulses per mile (PPM) from the drop down
list or enter the PPM in the edit box if necessary. We recommend that you not change these
settings if the DriveRight has been previously calibrated.
