DRIVER’S BEHAVIOR MONITORING SERVICE

Monitoring - Data Logger

Driving behavior - Captures data directly from vehicle

Over speed (City and Highway) Long time idling Sudden acceleration Sudden deceleration Report to control center for generating KPI

Benefits – Data Logger

Monitor driver’s behavior Effective warning to avoid traffic accident Educating and training of driver Reduce premium of motor insurance Lower maintenance cost Better company image

KPI Setting

KPI Report

Example of Cost Saving in Excessive Idling

Average fuel consumption on 5.5 tons LGV is

approximately 2L / hr. in idling mode.

Cost of diesel / liter is HK$ 7.8

With effective GPS monitoring procedures, fuel

cost saving per monthly could be rely on the

following formula:

HK$ 7.8 x 2L x 2 idling hrs. x 26 days

= HK$ 811

LOGISTICS SECURITY APPLICATION

Zone Monitoring for security

• Pre-defined zone to reinforce security (Geo-Fencing)

• monitoring with updated status of vehicle and goods

• Deviated from the pre-defined zone and trigger alerts

• Acknowledged in advance for vehicle arrival

Geo-FencingWhen the vehicle enters pre-defined zone, a pop up window will be displayed at Web UI

Vehicle Security
