darb is in development across five markets in the region. See the footprint
The vehicles a public body runs are paid for in public and seen in public. darb gives the people responsible for them one record of where those vehicles went, what they did, and whether the service met the standard set for it.
A report is a claim about the past, written by the party being reviewed. It arrives late, it arrives in a format nobody agreed on, and reconciling it costs more than reading it.
darb writes one record at the vehicle and gives each party the view its role allows. The operator runs the fleet, the department checks the service, the supervising body reviews the category. Nobody retypes anybody else's numbers.
Municipalities and utilities
Refuse trucks, water tankers, maintenance units and staff transport, measured against the round each one was sent out to complete.
Public transport authorities
Buses and shared vehicles measured against the timetable that was published, not against the one that was intended.
Regulators and inspectorates
A whole class of vehicle across every operator in the market, without asking each operator for a spreadsheet.
A number is only useful to a public body if it can be defended a year later, by someone who was not there.
Position, speed, engine state and sensor readings are written and time stamped at the vehicle, before any network is involved. A vehicle out of coverage stores its record and sends it when it returns.
Each record is kept in the form it arrived in. A correction is written as a new entry and the original stays readable underneath it.
Every view, export and change carries the account that made it, the time, and the reason given. Access is granted by role and reviewed like any other control.
History is held for the period your own policy sets, in the jurisdiction it names, and leaves in an open format your existing systems can read.
An inspector at a weighbridge or a checkpoint enters a plate and gets the vehicle's device status, its recent trips and its operator, from the same record the operator is looking at.
We work with operators, ministries and regulators to put one record behind every commercial vehicle on the road.
Send us the shape of the problem and we will come back with what darb would cover, what it would not, and what a first deployment looks like.
We use these details to reply to your enquiry and for nothing else.
