About the Client

Google is a global tech leader known for its innovative solutions and excellent services. In Bengaluru, India, Google has two major office campuses that see a huge number of private and commercial vehicles coming in and going out every day. These busy hubs needed a smart and secure solution for transportation and parking management. This was crucial for keeping their employees, visitors, and cab drivers safe, as well as ensuring smooth operations.

The Challenges

Google faced several challenges in managing vehicle movements and parking facilities at its Bengaluru office campuses.
High Volume of Vehicles

High Volume of Vehicles

The campuses have a lot of vehicles moving around each day, including employee and visitor vehicles, as well as hired cabs. Handling the authorization and tracking of so many vehicles efficiently was a big challenge.

Security Concerns

Security Concerns

Making sure the parking facilities are secure and preventing unauthorized vehicle movements were major concerns. The lack of a strong real-time monitoring system made it hard to maintain high-security standards.

GCabs Monitoring

GCabs Monitoring

Managing the fleet of hired cabs, including keeping track of the number of trips made each day and the idle time, was a significant challenge. It was also difficult to know which hired cabs were on the premises at any given time.

Manual Inefficiencies

Manual Inefficiencies

The existing manual systems caused operational inefficiencies, especially during morning and evening hours, which experience peak vehicular movement. An automated solution was needed to optimize and accurately monitor vehicle movements.

Data Management

Data Management

The lack of real-time data on vehicle movements and parking occupancy made effective decision-making difficult. Google needed a system that could provide accurate and timely data for managing transportation within the facilities more efficiently.

Operational Costs

Operational Costs

The administrative and manual labor costs associated with managing vehicle movements and parking were high. An automated solution was needed to cut these costs and improve operational efficiency.

Our Solution

Zapbuild delivered a comprehensive and customized vehicle management solution that addressed Google's challenges in vehicle monitoring and fleet management. Our solution seamlessly integrated with existing systems and utilized advanced technologies. Here's what we implemented.

Technology Deployment

ANPR Cameras
We installed Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras at strategic entry and exit points to capture license plates and recognize vehicles. This technology enabled precise tracking of vehicle movements and enhanced security.
RFID Antennas
We deployed Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) antennas to read Fastag RFID tags on vehicles. This provided an additional layer of identification and monitoring, facilitating quick and automated data capture and reducing manual effort.
IoT Microcontrollers
We installed these microcontrollers to capture, process, and locally store data from ANPR cameras and RFID readers before uploading it in real-time to the cloud server.
NVR Access with Live Monitoring
Provided a dedicated system with live monitoring and surveillance capabilities. The Network Video Recorder (NVR) acts as a centralized hub for storing and managing video data from the ANPR cameras.
Internet Connectivity
We ensured robust internet connectivity for real-time synchronization of vehicle tracking data with the cloud server. This enabled immediate updates, activity logging, and monitoring for the transportation management team.

Integration with MoveInSync

Data Synchronization
We implemented real-time updates from MoveInSync on trip schedules and vehicle assignments. This ensured accurate tracking of vehicle movements and allowed for better transportation system management.
Enhanced Monitoring
By cross-referencing vehicle entries and exits with trip information, we provided comprehensive tracking of vehicle movements, enabling better control and management.

System Features

Real-time Monitoring
Our solution offered continuous tracking of vehicle movements using ANPR and RFID systems. This live monitoring ensured accurate recording and monitoring of all vehicle activities.
User-friendly Dashboard
We created a super easy-to-use dashboard that shows all the important vehicle data, including how full the parking facilities are at any given time. This interface gives stakeholders an intuitive way to access critical information about vehicle movements.
Flagging System
We set up automatic alerts and flags for specific situations, such as when drivers leave without taking any trips or don't show up at all. This system quickly spots any unusual occurrences so the transport management team can identify and address them right away.
Vehicle Data Analytics
By analyzing the data from GCab movements, we helped Google make the most of its hired cabs. System identifies patterns of idle time, which has improved the efficiency of their whole fleet and saved them money on operations.
Parking Occupancy Reports
Detailed reports on parking occupancy and vehicle movements are generated. These reports give valuable insights that help with better management and decision-making.

Documentation and Training

Comprehensive User Manuals
Detailed user manuals were provided. They cover everything from system configuration to installation procedures, and operational guidelines for system administrators and end-users.
Training Sessions
We conducted training sessions to familiarize system administrators and relevant stakeholders with the operation and maintenance of the vehicle management solution. This ensured that the users could effectively use and manage the system.

Benefits Realized

The implementation of the vehicle management solution resulted in numerous benefits for Google.
Zapbuild

Real-time monitoring and flagging of anomalies ensured better security and management of the parking facility. Unauthorized vehicle movements were quickly identified and addressed, improving overall security.

With real-time monitoring and flagging of any strange activity, we've made the facilities more secure and better managed. We can quickly catch any unauthorized vehicle movements and make sure everything stays safe.

Our solution has made managing the hired cabs way more efficient. We gave Google the ability to monitor and manage their vehicles in real-time, making sure they're being used effectively and efficiently.

Our solution has drastically reduced the need for manual oversight, freeing up resources for more important tasks. This has made operations run smoother and resources be used more efficiently.

Detailed reports on parking occupancy and vehicle movements give Google valuable data for making decisions. They use this information to improve their management strategies and make smarter choices.

The reduction in manual labor and administrative tasks led to substantial cost savings. The automated solution proved to be cost-effective for managing vehicle movements and parking facilities.
Overall, Zapbuild’s vehicle management solution has completely transformed how Google monitors and manages the vehicles at its facilities. It's made transportation and fleet management more efficient, secure, and cost-effective for them. This solution has been such a success that Google has decided to implement this solution in all its other office campuses across the country. This case study is a perfect example of the innovative and future-ready technology that Zapbuild brings to solving real-world transportation and logistics problems.
