Why Tracking External PTO Might Be a Game Changer for Your Fleet
At one time, the epitome of using technology to manage fleets meant GPS (Global Positioning Systems) location data—where is my stuff? But as vehicles and equipment get more complex and computer-reliant, the technology behind fleet management has also grown to make it possible to find out so much more than where assets are. Fleet managers today use IoT (Internet of Things) and telematics to determine not just where assets are, but how they are being used, how they should be billed, when they should have maintenance performed, and more.

By reclassifying 4D into two chains of thought – passive and active - the sector is turning 4D BIM on its head.
Here’s an extremely simple formula to convey the concept of 4D BIM: 3D models + time information = 4D. Of course, it’s a bit more complicated in actual usage, though most construction industry professionals have at least a cursory knowledge of how it works. In the 4D BIM process, 3D models are combined with time and schedule-related information such as projects, site surveys, and logistics models. The result is the creation of a virtual construction sequence.
