The Big Day

In2Teq founders Manny Diaz and Ronald Bolante flew to Melbourne for the Australian Trucking Association's Technology and Maintenance Conference 2018, where they presented The Wait Advisor to the trucking industry professionals for validation.

Manny Diaz presenting an overview of The Wait Advisor before Australian trucking industry professionals to validate the project and generate interest on the often-ignored problem of wait times.

The team's key take away from the parallel session has been two-fold: the opportunity to embed The Wait Advisor in telematics devices on-board trucks, as suggested by Teletrac Navman Vice President Andrew Rossington, and the opportunity to fast-track the solutions roadmap for The Wait Advisor by including a queueing and on-boarding system as suggested by Jodie Broadbent, National Transport Compliance Manager at Americold.

In2Teq Smart Systems co-founder Ronald Bolante took up and answered questions from the audience during the Q&A portion of The Wait Advisor session at the Technology and Maintenance Conference 2018 in Melbourne.

The In2Teq team thanks the Australian Trucking Association, particularly its CEO Ben Maguire and the Safety and Skills Adviser Melissa Weller for the opportunity to present at the Technology and Maintenance Conference 2018.

In addition, the demographics of Australian truck drivers show the majority to be 40's and above. Being true to this, the following are the suggested screens: This is the screen when the app is started. It is quite simple to use: there is only a toggle switch to turn wait recording on or off. Once the wait recording is turn on, the screen is updated to reflect the current state of the app. It will just remain as simple as this one until the app is closed. This screen is a notification screen, as when the user is being prompted to confirm whether the location change noted means that the wait has been terminated and the truck is ready to hit the road OR that the wait continues, the noted location change is just due to a huge enough area that speeding up to driving sp...

So, it is official. The Wait Advisor Team is coming to Melbourne for the Technology and Maintenance Conference on 15 October 2018. It will be an opportunity to validate the project with stakeholders, as it will also be an opportunity to spread the word about this project. In preparation for the conference, we have prepared a couple of images which can be used by any interested party for publication. The first one is an image of a model holding a smartphone showing how it will look like when the Wait Advisor is activated. A woman holding a smartphone, photo courtesy of pexels.com.
