Getting Started
Begin your journey by either scanning a Copilot or tapping the large + button within the Citycare app. Once prompted, select your vehicle and choose the route you intend to follow. From your current location, Citycare automatically generates navigation to the first segment of your selected route. This path is highlighted with an orange line, clearly guiding you to the starting point.
Reaching the Starting Point
Navigating to the first segment is straightforward. Whether you’re departing from the public works garage or another location, the orange line dynamically adjusts to your position. This ensures you always follow the fastest and most efficient path to the route’s starting point. If you make a wrong turn or take an unexpected detour, the app recalculates in real-time to seamlessly re-route you to connect with the first segment. With Citycare’s intuitive guidance, you can feel confident that you’re always on track to begin your route efficiently.
Understanding Route Markers
The first segment of your route is marked in darker red, making it easy to identify and follow. As you progress along the route, completed sections transition to green, providing a clear visual of what’s been accomplished. This feature not only keeps you organized but also offers a satisfying sense of progress.
Citycare helps you stay informed about what’s ahead. The immediate next step is always highlighted in darker red, drawing your attention to the next action. Meanwhile, lighter red segments indicate all other incomplete parts of the route. This distinction ensures that you can easily differentiate between what requires your immediate attention and what lies ahead. These visual cues guide you through each step and help you anticipate the flow of your route, minimizing confusion about where to go next.
Adjusting to Changes
If you deviate from the planned path, Citycare automatically recalibrates. The app identifies your current location and adjusts the sequence, setting your position as the new starting point. This flexibility ensures you maintain efficiency even when faced with unexpected changes, such as roadblocks or detours.
Tracking Your Progress
As you proceed along your route, Citycare provides continuous updates on your position and progress. Each completed segment is marked visually, while the app guides you to the next step with clear instructions. Additionally, Citycare tracks your progress using a percentage of completion, which updates every time you complete a segment. This real-time feedback keeps you informed and motivated, especially during longer or more complex routes. Seeing your progress grow with each completed section provides a tangible sense of accomplishment and ensures that no part of the route is overlooked.
Navigating Obstacles
When encountering obstacles or needing to adjust your path, Citycare adapts quickly. By recalculating your route based on your current position, the app ensures a seamless and efficient workflow without unnecessary delays. This is particularly valuable in challenging conditions, such as heavy snow or congested urban areas, where maintaining efficiency is critical.
Completing the Route
Completing your route in Citycare is straightforward. Tap the red square to end the route, and tap again to finish the trip. All progress from the route event is saved for future reference. This includes details about the completion percentage, trip duration, and any segments that may have been missed.
Reviewing Performance
To analyze your performance, navigate to the Route List in the app. Select your completed route and tap on Route Event to access a detailed summary. This summary provides insights into completion percentages, trip details, and any missed segments, offering valuable data to refine and enhance your operations.
Conclusion
Citycare makes managing and completing sequenced routes stress-free and efficient. With its intuitive interface, real-time guidance, and adaptive features, the app empowers operators to navigate confidently and efficiently, ensuring no segment is overlooked. By tracking your progress and offering comprehensive performance reviews, Citycare becomes an indispensable tool for route management.
