AutoMonitor

Efficiently and safely managing vehicle assets is of great concern to fl eet owners, who need to know the real-time location and monitor constant performance of fleet vehicles and drivers. Access to up-to-the-minute data enables fleet owners to plan more effi ciently and better utilise specific vehicles.

Safety
Safety of drivers, vehicles and other road users is paramount.
Where passenger vehicles such as buses are concerned, safety takes on a whole new dimension as minimising the risk of injury or loss of life in a rollover or collision is essential to
maintaining passenger and public confidence.
Vehicle safety and dynamics need to be constantly monitored and measured, allowing immediate feedback to the vehicle owner outside of the regular maintenance inspection cycle.
Logging of driver hours is often a mandatory safety requirement and while equipment is available to do this it often ignores additional safety features such as vehicle dynamics and location monitoring.

AutoMonitor Information and Safety System
AutoMonitor from AutoTest uniquely incorporates three vehicle information and safety technologies including tachograph vehicle dynamics, and GPS-based tracking into
one easy to use device.
AutoMonitor is a compact, all in one, space saving dash mounted solution that enables the vehicle owner to track the vehicle, keep an electronic logbook and measure vehicle
dynamics to provide outputs such as brake and suspension condition, driving hours and over-speeding. Data logged can be securely accessed via internet, or downloaded directly to a PC via communication port.

Driver Alerts
AutoMonitor constantly monitors vehicle dynamics and alerts the driver when a vehicle is likely to roll over. This enables the driver to make informed decisions when applying defensive driving techniques to avoid impending danger.

• In - vehicle personnel visual and audio alerts
• Alerts driver when vehicle becomes unstable and rollover is likely

-Under normal conditions where vehicle is stable the green light will be illuminated.
-When the likelihood of rollover reaches 40%,the yellow warning light will turn on.
-When the likelihood of rollover is above 60%,the red ‘danger’ light will illuminate, and the unit will sound a high-pitched alarm.

• Alert events are recorded in the device, which can be later downloaded to a PC
• Alert sensitivity can be adjusted to suit specific topography and training needs.

Vehicle Condition and Safety Monitoring
Provides an economical method of measuring mass and safety monitoring
• Potential rollover events
• Axis of vehicle including gyroscopic effects
• Gross mass of the vehicle dynamically
• Suspension condition
• Long term brake efficiency

Driver Monitoring
Provides valuable data to monitor and evaluate driver and performance, and aids in the promotion of best driving practice.
• Driver identifi cation via smartcard
• Driving style
• Hours of operation for each driver
• Speed and over - speed events

Vehicle Location
GPS enables the vehicle owner to always be aware of its location
• Position and tracking data

Data Records
Record keeping and analysis is simple and convenient
• Print recorded data
• Transmit data to a central database via the internet for analysis
