1-Wire® or iButton® – 1-Wire® or iButton® can be used to read Driver ID tags. Readers available to suit multiple card formats

Smarts

Auto-APN – Auto-APN allows the device to analyse the SIM card and select the correct APN details from a list that is pre-loaded in the device’s firmware
Accident & Rollover Detection – Configure accident and rollover alerts triggered by extreme changes in velocity and orientation of vehicle or equipment. Second-by-second GPS data is saved on the device’s flash memory, with a capacity of approximately 2 hours of data. In the event of an accident, a subset of the data (60 seconds before /10 seconds after) is uploaded to the server automatically (if configured) or can be requested manually for a detailed reconstruction of the incident
Driver ID Options – RFID reader, iButton®, or Wiegand interface for Driver ID, access control, and log booking
Driver Safety & Behaviour – Monitor speeding, harsh acceleration, braking, cornering, idling, and more to improve safety and prevent unnecessary wear on vehicles
