Route Creation

Put route creation at the heart of your winter maintenance strategy with Map-a-Route Cloud.

This unique software streamlines the route creation process by making it easy to remotely create and manage multiple network routes with ease.
Create bespoke routes in minutes, at any time, and instantly upload to large gritting fleets at multiple depot locations with over-the-air route transfer.

  • Create routes for your vehicle fleet in minutes and transfer to vehicles from the depot with just one click, eliminating the costly and time-consuming process of attending vehicles to manually upload routes

  • Create secondary routes, multiple variations of the same route, or bespoke auto-salting routes with no additional licensing costs.

  • Quickly respond to route changes and deviations – such as road closures or weather conditions – and instantly transfer updates to vehicles.

Gritter Navigation

Any driver, any route

Keep gritter drivers focussed and safe as they progress through gritting routes with in-cab navigation system, Navtrak.

  • Ensure drivers concentrate solely on driving, with clear and easy-to-follow navigation instructions which minimise driver intervention.

  • Fully automated navigation and salting combats the common challenge of driver availability, allowing any driver to drive any route

  • Ensure precise delivery and reduce salt use by 5-15% – saving costs and reducing environmental impact

Automated Spreading

Exactrak’s automated salting technology precisely distributes the correct amount of salt across gritting routes

Maximise driver resource by allowing any driver to drive any route, with no prior route knowledge required.

Real-time video capture monitors salt spread patterns which can be used to support incident claims by the public.

Temperature Monitoring

Temperature Data

Different sections of a gritting route can have varying temperatures, requiring tailored treatments for optimal road safety. Our road temperature sensor is seamlessly integrated into gritting vehicles, continuously monitoring the road temperature and grip levels in real time as the vehicle progresses along the route. This data is then utilised to enable dynamic salting, adjusting the spread rate to automatically deliver the correct amount of salt.

Utilise data to aid winter maintenance decision making with Data Route.

Turn real-time data from Navtrak into a range of configurable reports to track and analyse the performance of your gritting fleet.

Report on salt use, miles per vehicle and vehicle efficiencies to to manage operations and improve performance.

Combine route completion data with driver feedback to continually improve winter routes and navigation.

Communicate winter service information to the general public

Through the integration of live gritter tracking data from Navtrak via an API, users can witness real time progress as the vehicles navigate their designated routes.

Self serve portal

The ‘Where is my Gritter’ web portal serves as a reliable hub, offering convenient, 24/7 access for individuals looking for up-to-date details on the gritting treatments of their local roads.

Reduce administrative overheads

Local authorities can save time and ensure consistent communication by linking to the ‘Where is my Gritter?’ portal from their official websites or social media accounts – saving time and effort and ensuring consistent and efficient communication between local authorities and the general public.

Engage communities

Individuals can stay informed in real time as vehicles navigate designated gritting routes. This transparency fosters a sense of engagement, especially when the public has the opportunity to name the gritting fleet, creating a stronger connection between communities and local authorities.
