Finding Common Vehicles

The Find Common Vehicles function allows you quickly to discover which VRMs are common to specified sets, allowing you to establish connections. The results are displayed such that you can quickly see which sets contain each common VRM.

About this task

When the results are displayed, you can select some or all of the VRMs and copy them to the clipboard or save them to a text file. For example, if you wanted to use some of the VRMs as target vehicles for Convoy Analysis, you would select the VRMs of interest, copy them to the clipboard, and then paste them into the Convoy Analysis dialog. Saving the VRMs to a text file would allow you to use the list as input to another application for further analysis.

  2. Click Find to display a list of VRMs that are included in two or more sets.
  3. Select each VRM in turn to see which sets it is included in. The sets that include the selected VRM are displayed in bold text with a green tick.
