The SAT & GSM solution is a Hybrid Tracking system that functions as a continuous remote Management device of fixed and mobile assets anywhere across the world. The tracking unit communicates with its server via the GSM/GPRS network or using a satellite modem (Iridium satellite) when the GSM/GPRS network is unavailable. Once an asset (e.g. boat, vessel, vehicle, machine etc.) is equipped with Utrack Hybrid tracking unit, users can monitor and manage the asset using location and data provided by the satellite modem integrated module covering all terrestrial and aquatic areas (e.g. oceans, lakes, remote mining sites & Construction sites) of the world. The solution is designed to address many of the operational challenges, prevalent amongst the commercial fleets. There include basic activity monitoring, reduction of operating costs, and enhancing the management of supply chain.
System Architecture
Key Features
A Hybrid and GSM communication platform provides data communication redundancy in remote areas ensuring ‘Always available’ communication. Using Utrack’s least cost routing engine, the operator can maintain cost efficiency by limiting the satellite communications instances to high priority events in areas with no GSM coverage.
Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL)
Using its onboard Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver the AVL provides accurate location information. Additional information includes trip data, driver identification, input status, output control, speeding and odometer.
Zone Management (Geo-fence)
Monitoring entry and exit from user defined geographical areas (referred to as geofences). The downloaded Geofences can be categorized (i.e. customers, fuel depots, mining areas, offloading points etc.).
Accident Detection & Reconstruction
Accurate accident reconstruction with patented algorithms, accident notification and comprehensive reconstruction modules estimate vehicle impact zone and angle of impact.
Driver Management
Active monitoring of abusive driver behavior, monitored parameters include excessive idle, harsh braking, excessive acceleration, speeding, over-revving and freewheeling. The analyzed information provides the operator with valuable tool to minimize fuel and maintenance costs while maximizing safety.
In-Vehicle Network
Provision of in-vehicle network data including fault codes, and odometer (data sources may vary between various makes and models).
Custom Beeper Flags
Alert drivers of various vehicle statuses (e.g. seatbelt not fasten while driving.)*
Trigger Engine
Fully customizable user – defines operation sequence and action trigger system allows the automation of actions based on vehicle status variables (e.g ‘Set warning light when speed above 20km/h and seatbelt not fastened or “Change speed limit or lock doors upon POI entry).
Patented auto – calibration of 3-axis digital accelerometer for driver behavior and accident detection, capable of 400Hz data for accident reconstruction.
Engine Hours Monitoring
Odometer substitute in earth moving equipped and generators.
Speed Monitoring
Maintaining an Optimum Speed by the Driver is very crucial so as to ensure the safety of the driver, vehicle and also fuel economy. User will be alerted if a certain speed is reached, or be alerted if a vehicle exceeds the speed limit by a specified amount.
Vehicle Battery Monitoring
Monitor and report vehicle battery health statistics.
BLE - Bluetooth 4.0 LE
Monitor and report various BLE sensors including driver ID, Door sensors and driver biofeedback (e.g. heart rate).*
Health Metrics Reporting
Daily reports of unit performance and diagnostics status.
Power Modes
The unit has the ability to intelligently switch between various power modes subject to its detected ignition status. The device can reduce its power consumption to levels well below industry standards, allowing a vehicle to be utilized for weeks, while not excessively draining the vehicle battery.
Temperature Monitoring
Temperature monitoring of refrigeration compartments.*
Garmin Fleet Compatible
Garmin Fleet Integration with messaging to UTRACK Web Application.*
Optional Features (Accessories)
These include Driver Management Kit, Hands Free Kit, Seat Belt Monitoring, Door Sensor
