location
updates (geofence, battery, etc.)
• full vehicle activity display in
a mouse-click
• ability to fence areas (“geofences”)
to
trigger alerts (PC, email or sms text)
for
entry to and/or exit from these areas
• ability to determine areas (“sites”)
and
report on all activity within these
areas
• powerful map search & zoom levels
• ability to determine the nearest
vehicles
to a requested location in a mouse-click
• ability to access historical data
and replay
a vehicle’s journey on background map
at
any time

management
reports such as site, mileage, activity,
stop, trip, overspeed, idle and other
event-type
reports
• ability to make the application available
to as many users and locations as required
Optional Functionality
The solution has a modular design.
Based
on the standard vehicle tracking solution,
several other solutions are available
for
added functionality. These solutions
are
independent from one another so customers
can select and scale the solution according
to their needs.
Mobile Communication
Two-way text messaging from the OnlineAVL
application to the vehicle, and vice-versa
• Dispatch complete job details, directions
and messages
• Allow fast replies via prepared responses
and variable fields from the vehicle
(e.g.
Job accepted *20* minutes away)
• Enjoy incredibly low-cost messaging.
Communicate
with your field staff at less cost
then a
phone call or SMS to a mobile phone
• Send a message to one, some or all
the
vehicles in the fleet
• Receive automatic confirmation that
messages
have been received, ensuring jobs don’t
get
lost
Mobile Communication & Navigation
Fully integrated system, combining
two-way
text messaging and GPS navigation technology.

message
with attached route co-ordination seamlessly
from the office to the dashboard of
a vehicle
• Improve allocation of planned and
reactive
jobs and reduce administration task
• Improve response time to customer
site
by eliminating map reading or misunderstandings
• Allow fast replies via prepared responses
and variable fields (e.g. Job accepted.
*20*
minutes away)
• Enjoy incredibly low-cost messaging.
Communicate
with your field staff at less cost
then a
phone call or SMS to a mobile phone.
• Send a message and route co-ordinates
to
one, some or all the vehicles in the
fleet
Telemetry Monitoring
Remote monitoring and control of vehicle
devices, such as:
• Temperature alerting for refrigerated
freight
(too hot / too cold)
• Weight recording for waste or haulage
trucks
• Time and location of doors open for
buses
• Time and location of hydraulic loading
ramps in use
• Sweeper arms in operation for street
cleaners
• RFID time and location recording
• Brakes on/off
• Auxiliary motor on/off
• Panic Alarms (remote and in-vehicle)
• Remote door locking and unlocking
Alerts and reports can be generated
on individual
monitored device.
Other
• PDA and barcode scanner for capture
of
additional information and proof of
delivery
• Published Interface to allow integration
to back-end applications in the office
• PPP Interface to enable wireless
internet
connection via the tracking unit for
information
transmission for devices such as PDAs.
Optional Devices-Related Features
• Access to vehicle activity information
for integration with third-party software
applications (Published Interface)
• Open access to the Halo Qube IP connection
for transmission of data for devices
such
as PDAs (PPP Interface)
• PDA & barcode scanner
The components that make up the Solution
include the following:
• OnlineAVL Software: OnlineAVL is a software application used
to access vehicle information in real-time.
OnlineAVL is accessed by users through a
secure logon username and password. Information
about vehicles, such as street location,
is stored in the OnlineAVL database managed
by Navman. Users with internet access can
log into the Online AVL software application
to view vehicle information and map.
• Hardware Device & Accessories: The hardware tracking device is a Halo
Qube. Each vehicle will require a Halo Qube
device to be fitted. Navman will provide
the devices and any associated accessories.
Each Halo Qube device contains a cellphone
module which allows the device to operate
on Telecom’s or Vodaphone’s Mobile Networks.
Note: Optional devices available for
purchase
include the MDT-860, M-Nav and ConEx
hardware
devices.
• Installation of the Vehicle Units: MCS Digital RT will be responsible for
installing devices into the vehicles.
• Geographic Positioning System: The Halo Qube device includes a GPS receiver,
which generates the vehicle location based
on its ability to view up to 12 satellites.
Using this information, the device tracks
the position, speed and direction of the
vehicle in real-time. Access to satellites
via the GPS receiver is provided by Navman.
• Network connectivity for each Halo Qube device
installed: A mobile data plan applies to an individual
Halo Qube device. Once connected and subject
to network coverage availability, the Halo
Qube device communicates events (such as
speed and direction of the vehicle) via Packet
Data through to the OnlineAVL software application.
In the event the device is situated in an
area without network coverage, the device
will communicate events when it next enters
an area with network coverage.
