Vehicle usage falls by 49% during England game, says Cybit

By / 14 years ago / Latest News / No Comments

The data from Fleetstar-Online, Cybit’s internet-based fleet tracking suite, shows that vehicle usage fell by 49% in the hour leading up to kick-off of the England match, with traffic volumes remaining at half of normal levels for the remainder of the afternoon.

'There was a noticeable increase in activity from 6:30am as employees started their working day earlier to allow for an earlier than normal finish, which shows how flexible most employers are being,' said Steve Towe, Cybit’s head of sales.

More than 50,000 vehicles at anyone time are monitored on the UK’s roads and Fleetstar-Online records in excess of 10 million live vehicle positions throughout the day.

'This kind of information helps us and businesses to identify the trends that run throughout UK fleets. The ability to assess information over a length of time makes these trends visible, and once they’re identified, appropriate action can be taken. In this instance, we can clearly see the impact of the World Cup on the national fleet, while individual organisations may recognise utilisation drop-offs, excessive vehicle use or regional disparities using the same reporting.

'Our technology is configured as standard to collect positional and vehicle tracking data every 20 seconds, which means we have access to a very large amount of high-quality information on road usage and road conditions,' continued Mr Towe.
