Our company has a mixed fleet private and hackney. The owner wont go to a data system as he says that all systems on the market cant cope with cars ranked up and cars at base, it has to be one or the other. Is he right or is he just to tight to put his hand in his pocket. |

Surely cars at base are ranked up, even if not in the truest sense.

If a cars second on the rank and doesnt want to move he can reject the job. We have Hac's on a lower rate than the PH because they can log off and work the ranks when it gets busy, all are on data and it doesnt cause any bother. |

Your boss is either too tight or a dinosaur. These systems can cope with anything as can be tweaked to suit your company. There are lots of good systems out there now. Radio as a first defence is practically obsolete !! I have used a data head for years now and would never go back to the radio - can only roughly now remeber the air chaos on a Saturday nite !!!!

As many as the bank will let you buy. I don't think a computer system has found the max yet. Comms seems to be the issue, don't they recommend a max of about 250 on each frequency to allow the data to work efficiently? |

It works out to be between 90-120 cars on each data frequency if u have full gps after that it struggles |

Conversation I heard at Coventry went along the lines that with Auriga you allocate a car onto a fixed frequency. So you could have 80 cars on one frequency and 10 on another at one time. Apparently Autocab doesn'thave a fixed frequency, the cars can be switched to others. So in the above scenario, 35 cars would have their frequency automatically switch to the less crowded channel. |

Ours went down at the weekend, i think we have a 50-50 split Ch1 has approx 140 cars Ch2 is vioce and Ch3 approx 140 cars Ch3 went down with a problen so all were switched to Ch1, it couldnt cope updates took an age to work, drivers couldnt plot, eventually the lot went down and everyone went on voice for a few hrs until the engineers sorted it. Bloody chaos!  (autocab)
