Figure 21: A list of directories containing Trip.csv files. The highlighted directory, would represent the date it was
created: January 12, 2014.
An added convenience to this directory-creation arrangement is that a fleet operator
could store multiple taxi files in a single date-stamped folder, with a new folder created
on the same flash drive each day. On each subsequent day, a new folder is created on
the drive, and then individual, vehicle-stamped files are automatically written to the
new folder. Thus, a single flash drive can be moved from car-to-car, gathering trip
data into a single folder ( Figure 22).
Alternatively, individual taxi operators could be assigned a personal flash-drive, for
which they would be responsible for turning in at the end of their shift. The fleet
manager would then simply drag-and-drop the folder with the current date onto a
personal computer. As each taxi driver would have a folder with the same date-stamp,
individual trips would automatically merge into a single folder on the computer

Note: The CG3 will store up the last 1000 trips. Thereafter, it will begin overwriting the oldest trip.
