[QUOTE="UPSighDown, post: 316893, member: 14754"] I have worked with the GPS data from the DIAD. If the satellite map is good enough and the packages are sheeted by the methods you can tell if the package was left at the front or back door. Our security dept uses it to double check negative driver follow-ups. The problem with the Red/Yellow/Green indicator is as you say the comparison point. It is based on an average of all of the locations that the stop has been sheeted at. If your within 200ft of that spot green light. If you get a red light where you know you are in the right place you are supposed to ask the sup to reset the stop so it can calc a new average. I bet most drivers have never been told this because the sups have enough to do without resetting a bunch of stops everyday. Besides are you really going to take the time to report it for such a minor issue? Human factor again on both sides and shortsightedness by the system designer for thinking that mechanism would work. It [I]should[/I] be a great tool for the driver. Maybe if the reset request was built into the DIAD.... [/QUOTE]
