Does MiX Vision provide video in HD?

Yes.

DOES MIX VISION ALLOW FOR LIVE STREAMING?

Yes.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO IMPROVE VIDEO QUALITY?

Yes, there are quality configuration settings with respect to frame and compression rates. However, a change to these configuration settings will increase data transmitted as well as reduce the on-board storage duration.

Is there a “remember me” or “remember my password” feature so that I do not have to log in every time?

Auto-login is implemented on the MyMiX mobile app. If the user explicitly logs out, they will need to log in and check the relevant box again.

What devices are supported by the MyMiX app?

We support Android devices running Android 4.0.3 and higher, as well as Apple devices running iOS 11+ and higher.

What languages are supported?

The MyMiX app supports the following languages: Arabic, simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese, Croatian, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Norwegian, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, and Spanish. We have also added support for Bulgarian, Czech, and Turkish.

How can driver’s check their average data usage per month?

Data usage, internal storage size, and memory usage can be viewed on the driver’s Android phone or iPhone in the Settings menu.

CAN THE APP WORK WITHOUT AN INTERNET CONNECTION?

The app requires internet connectivity to function optimially, but it is able to cater for short periods of signal loss. Driver score and mobile tracking data will not sync while offline but will update once the network is restored.

How is driver ranking calculated for the leaderboard?

Driver scores are collected and calculated across a 7-day period (excluding the current day) and then ranked in order of best to worst.

If two drivers have exactly the same score, their rank will be determined according to how the sort algorithm has sifted the data. Therefore, one may be 2^nd and the other 3^rd. Keep in mind that the sort algorithm goes into decimals, so exact scores are possible but highly unlikely.

Drivers are only ranked against other currently active drivers. For example, if a driver is on leave, the number of active drivers will be less in terms of the group against which the driver is ranked.

What range of data is looked at to determine leaderboard ranking?

Data is taken from the last 7 days (excluding the current day) and is calculated up to the end of the previous day at midnight.

What would prevent a driver from receiving a ranking?

No trips. In other words, the driver has not traveled any distance during the 7-day time period.

What is MiX Integrate?

MiX Integrate is an integration platform enabling the transfer of data for use outside of MiX Fleet Manager. The integration consists of RESTful APIs as well as data feed mechanisms to support specific use cases.

How do I start integrating?

In order to commence your integration, you will need two sets of credentials that are aligned with our framework. A Customer Success Manager can assist in setting up the credentials. Firstly, you will receive an email to state that the application has been registered.

After clicking the link, a new tab will open in the default web browser and display the Client ID and Client Secret which you will need to capture and store in a safe place.

What data is available from MiX Integrate?

MiX Integrate includes swagger documentation for all endpoints that are currently available. This includes positional, event, and trip data as well as driver and asset data, amongst others. The swagger documentation also provides a sample of properties that are available as part of the specific method, thus providing further insight into exactly what is returned.

How can I get support on MiX Integrate?

The MiX Integrate documentation includes key developer documentation as well as links to sample code. Support teams are available via the regional support channels in order to address integration questions as well as any issues that may be encountered. The MiX Help Centre also includes an Integrate community in which MiX Integrate users and support teams share topics that can further help others when attempting to conduct similar integrations.
