Fleet Management Features

The GLEIKE MINI’s hardware and software enable companies to maximize fleet management, dispatching and communication functions at the lowest possible cost and with the greatest security.

The GLEIKE MINI provides:

A wireless modem based on Cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD) technology. CDPD is IP-based, inherently secure, and economical. CDPD uses forward error correction methods that reduce the effects of air link noise and interference. CDPD incorporates authentication and encryption to all packets transmitted over the airlink. Each meter has it’s own IP address and can be independently reached. Ask ATA/Gleike if a CDPD is avalaible in your area.

A serial link to interface our own peripherals (smart card reader, pin pad)

A serial link for connection with other smart devices such as data terminals and the option of a second serial link.

With GPRS technology, the GLEIKE MINI can process the following functions:

Credit and Debit Card Payment : The network infrastructure and the service providers guarantee transactions processed with a high level of security within a short response time (just a few seconds).

Dispatch : The GLEIKE MINI can receive dispatch messages and print them through the wireless modem . There is no need for an additional and costly data terminal if the cab does not already have one. The driver uses one of the meter’s push buttons to acknowledge the job.

Information Service : The office can send short messages to cabs such as forgotten personal belongings or informing them it’s time for an inspection.

Taximeter remote control : The office can switch any meter on or off by a secured message. This function is very useful to manage the meter rentals. Each meter can be remotely set or reset without returning to the meter shop.

Localization : The GLEIKE MINI is able to use data provided by the cellular network radio towers. The localization accuracy depends on the radio towers density but in cities it is within a one-mile radius.

Switch to a new tariff : A new tariff structure can be loaded at any time. When the switching date occurs, a short message is sent to all the cabs to immediately switch to the new rate.

Taximeter monitoring : The GLEIKE MINI can send the meter’s totals (fares for the day or month, number of trips per shift, distance covered in the hired mode, etc.) or its current status (hired, vacant, time off, etc.) periodically or following a specific request from the office.

Update : The office can modify taximeter options and what is printed on receipts.

With the serial link, the GLEIKE MINI performs additional fleet management functions
(a second serial link is optional) :

Data terminal interface : Some taxicabs are already equipped with a mobile data terminal connected to the office by a dedicated radio link. The GLEIKE MINI can be programmed to interface with such a device and provide a completely connected on-board system. The peripheral resources such as the printer, the credit card swipe, the smart card reader or GPS can be managed either by the taximeter or by the data terminal, thereby avoiding duplications.

Monitoring : The GLEIKE MINI can transmit recorded information such as trip histories or the totals (fares for the day, month or shift, distance traveled hired and vacant, etc.). This data can be sent by the existing on-board radio or captured by a laptop PC connected to the meter for storage at the office.

GPS : One serial link can be used to connect an external GPS receiver in order to transmit the taxicab position. However, the Gleike Mini offers free localization without the need of a GPS with our CDPD technology.


The GLEIKE MINI can automatically perform these fleet management functions:

Access rights : The fleet manager can control the time the meter is working by entering an access code at the beginning of the lease. As previously noted, another security feature is that the meter can be wirelessly disabled.

Shift Management : The fleet manager assigns each driver an ID that he must input when starting a shift. The taximeter can be programmed so that it only works during a given period.

Warning Messages : To remind the driver of compulsory visits (oil changes, periodic inspection, lease date expiration, etc.), the taximeter displays a message well before the date. In case the lease expires without being renewed, the meter displays an error code and stops workings. The meter can be reset with a new access code or by wireless transmission.

According to your regulations, some of these features may not be avalaible.
