Arcoda Navi
Arcoda Navi is the navigation app that guides drivers along predefined waste collection and street sweeping routes, displaying the correct route and driving and service instructions in the cab.
Clear routes, precise operational instructions, and simpler, more efficient and sustainable waste collection and street sweeping services.
Product at a glance
Arcoda Navi is a road navigation system designed specifically for waste collection and street sweeping. It guides drivers along their assigned optimal route, providing valuable in-cab assistance that reduces operational complexity and makes it easier to carry out the service correctly.
How it works
Installed on an onboard tablet or smartphone, the app displays the waste collection or street sweeping route to follow. During service, it guides the driver with visual instructions, spoken guidance and audio signals covering directions, manoeuvres and the side of the road on which collection is carried out. This also supports drivers who are unfamiliar with the territory, helping them complete the optimal route correctly while reducing the time, effort and resources required.
Benefits
Lower operating costs
Guidance along the optimal route reduces unnecessary travel, route errors and return trips to complete missed service, supporting more efficient use of vehicles, staff and resources.
Support for achieving technical service quality objectives
Clear instructions help drivers follow the route as planned, contributing to service continuity and quality.
Less stress for operators
Drivers are guided along the route using both road and operational information, reducing uncertainty and workload without having to interpret fragmented instructions or rely solely on memory.
Less reliance on individual knowledge of the territory
Routes and operational information are organised and made available in a structured, standardised way. Drivers who are less familiar with the territory can also follow their assigned route, making it easier to cover absences, provide on-the-job support and introduce new operators.
Route guidance
Drivers are guided along the correct waste collection or street sweeping route and assisted with the operational information they need.
Manual or automatic route assignment
The route can be assigned automatically or selected manually from a list.
Managing operational route deviations
Navigation supports drivers in leaving the assigned route to reach roll-off containers or other destinations and then resuming the service run from the point where they left it. If changes to road access or traffic arrangements require a departure from the route, Navi recalculates the route to return to the optimal point for resuming service.
Messaging
Navi includes a chat function, accessible only when the vehicle is stationary, that facilitates two-way communication between the control room and the driver. For example, the back office can quickly send map links to collection points through the chat. Tapping a link sets that location as the destination in Arcoda Navi. Drivers can also use the chat to send updates, requests and field reports directly to the control room.
Activity progress display
The navigation system uses progress indicators to show work completed and work still to be done in real time.
Integration capabilities
Arcoda Navi can integrate with ECOS4OPERATION from Ambiente.it, our DNA Ambiente partner. Through this integration, Navi can automatically receive service orders with their associated routes. Drivers then find their assigned service run on the onboard tablet, without having to search for or manually select the route.
