For supervisors of exploration and drilling crews

See what's happening out in the field.

When you run a crew, you shouldn't have to call around to find out what's going on. From the vehicle you're in, TrailCrew shows you where every vehicle is and tells you when your message reached them, with nothing installed on site. We are building the rest: a record of each exchange, and a view of where across the program vehicles meet with no confirmation first. Keep scrolling.

• Nothing installed on site

Communicate

Every vehicle, live on every screen.

Each vehicle's position lands on every other vehicle's screen every five to eight seconds in direct range, with nothing installed on site. Through a vehicle in between, the target is within fifteen seconds, in crews of up to five. Nobody has to ask where anyone is — you look, and you know.

• Live positions
• No signal needed
• Nothing installed

Communicate

One tap. The radio stays free.

Stopping, holding, go ahead — the routine traffic goes out as a structured message with a single tap, so it stops competing for the channel and for the driver's attention. Every vehicle in the crew shares one channel, so there is no wrong one to be on. The UHF is left for the calls that actually need a voice.

Asking the vehicle ahead for the pass: one tap to ask, one tap to answer. The screen shows it as a concept, stamped as such. It is not a working feature yet.

• One-tap messages
• No handset
• Waypoints

Communicate

Out of range of you, not of the crew.

The vehicle at the far end can't hear you directly, so the one in between passes it on — because that far vehicle says it is still missing it. Every vehicle relays for the others, which means the crew's own spread is what extends the range. Nothing to install on site. It is a self-healing mesh: a vehicle that drops out of range gets what it missed as soon as it is back.

• Self-healing mesh
• Every vehicle relays
• No repeater to install
• 915 MHz band

Record

It comes back confirmed.

Every message you send carries a state — sent, relayed, and received by each of the other units in the crew. That is the shape of positive communication: confirmed to the sender, and the reply closes the loop. The badge shows the units received it; the reply is the person's answer.

Each confirmed exchange will be kept, so there is something to go back to.

• Confirmed, not just sent
• Last 16 messages on screen

Record

Runs off the vehicle. Carries its own maps.

Twelve or twenty-four volts straight off the vehicle, USB-C when it's out of one, and a full-size card that carries the maps and tracks.

The same card will hold the record of every confirmed exchange — who, when and where.

Investigate

Go back to the moment.

Each unit watches the crew's movement and flags two vehicles converging while there is still ground between them, with a one-tap reply to say who yields.

Concept animation — two vehicles, one blind corner, a confirmed exchange.

A web replay will show the moment a call was needed and wasn't made — something to learn from, not to guess at.
