Overview
This article helps diagnose situations where telematics data is not transmitted correctly.
Common symptoms include:
- Tours do not appear on the driver’s device
- Tour data is not transferred to the telematics system
- Vehicles do not receive tour information
Initial Checks
Identify the Telematics Provider
Verify which telematics provider is being used, as troubleshooting steps may differ depending on the integration.
Check for WebFleet Usage
If WebFleet (TomTom) is used, ensure the integration settings and credentials are correct.
Verify Telematics Background Service
The telematics integration depends on an active background service.
If this service is not running, tour information cannot be transmitted.
Import/Export History Review
The import/export history in PTV Route Optimiser provides valuable diagnostic insights.
Check whether:
- Error messages are displayed
- New telematics‑related entries are still being created
If entries stop appearing, continue with the next steps.
Background Service Verification
Confirm the Service Is Running
If the import/export history shows no new entries:
- Verify that the telematics background service is running
- Restart the telematics background service
If no new entries appear after a restart, the problem may come from the upstream system.
Check the Source of the Error Message
Confirm whether the error message actually comes from PTV Route Optimiser.
- If the message originates from another system (e.g., telematics portal, ERP, device app), the issue should first be investigated by internal IT or the responsible system owner before continuing within Route Optimiser.
Verify Required System Services
Telematics functionality depends on several system services. Ensure all necessary services are running, including:
- Telematics services
- Notification services
- xServer services
- Background services for import and export
If possible, review the logs for these services to identify warnings or errors.
Review Application Logs
If the issue persists, examine the PTV Route Optimiser application log for:
- Error entries
- Warning messages
- Unusual or repeated system messages
These logs can help identify the underlying cause, such as connectivity failures, configuration issues, or telematics data transfer interruptions.
