This is by no means an exhaustive list of what is available with a Digicore IVMS system, however some of the more requested components and functions are below. Please contact us if your requested component or function is not listed, we are more than willing to assist.
Component | Type of Signal | Reporting |
---|---|---|
Global Positioning System | GPS is made up of three parts: satellites orbiting the Earth; control and monitoring stations on Earth and GPS receivers.GPS satellites broadcast signals from space that are picked up and identified by GPS receivers. Each GPS receiver then provides three-dimensional location (latitude, longitude, and altitude) plus the time | Vehicle position, time and trip information is recorded. Speed and braking rates are constantly calculated based on changing positions |
Seatbelt Sensors (Driver) | Digital signal provided by detecting seatbelt usage either through 1) the vehicle’s OEM interface or 2) through a micro switch fitted to the vehicle’s seatbelt bases. | Violations reported where driver seatbelts are not used, usage reported where passenger seatbelts are used |
Seatbelt Sensors (Passenger) | Passenger Seatbelt monitored when in use | Record usage only. Report provided in weekly reports |
Speed Sensor | GPS speed calculation made by the UBLOX™ chipset within the Solo unit | Speed is sampled and relayed on an ongoing basis and over-speeding (a single “Max Speed”) is reported as a violation. Over speeding on mine sites is calculated subsequently through geo fenced speed zones |
Vehicle Roll-Over and Impact Sensor |
Is sensed by internal triaxial accelerometer | Incident recorded and reported and detail data stored in the accident bufferOptional SMS messaging to nominated personnel. Report and recordImpact has 3 levels of detection, adjustable in millig’s |
Harsh Acceleration and Braking | Harsh braking sensed by triaxial accelerometerand calculated by Solo unit | Violations reported |
Harsh Cornering | Harsh cornering sensed by triaxial accelerometerand calculated by Solo unit | Violations reported upon request |
Over-revving recording | RPM input from engine, with maximum revs calibrated against manufacturer’s | Violations reported |
Excessive Idling recording | Typically based on prescribed period of engine running with no vehicle movement | Violations reported |
Handbrake Monitoring | Direct On/off contact from handbrake switch and is not connected to the ‘Solo’ unit | Buzzer if Ignition is on, door is open and handbrake is not engaged |
Driver Identification with Key | Unique serial number of key read by (optionally different types of) external readers fitted to dashboard. | Notification sent to system where it is cross-matched with driver detail for purposes of reporting the driver’s name associated with the trip |
Ignition on / off | On/off contact from ignition system | Notification sent to system when Ignition turned on/off |
Battery Power Sensor | Unit continually senses external power input and automatically switches to ‘on-board’ battery power when external power is denied. Unit sends notification if power is disconnected. | Battery Tamper Notification sent to system if power disconnected |
GSM Jam Detection | Unit if it cannot connect to the network on any frequency has an internal GSM Jam detection algorithm | Notification sent to the system once communciation re-established after leaving the jammed area |
Health Checks | Unit can be configured to health check up to twice per day | Notification is sent to the system |
Illegal Movement | The vehicle can detect if it is being moved without an ignition on | Notification is sent to the system |
Box Tamper | The unit can detect if it has been tampered with in any way by internal algorithm | Notification is sent to the system |
Panic | The unit has a duress alarm that can be installed into the vehicle | Notification is sent to the system An SMS can be sent. |
