1 How to convert Telematics from Cost-Center into Profit-Center? During the last decades, with the proliferation of satellite services, cellular communication and mobility, many firms entered into the vehicle tracking and tracing business, offering simple location services. The main usage of such services is in the event of vehicle theft. Is mostly used by professional operation centers that can, in some cases, even rescue the stolen assets. As time passed, such firms enriched the offering, by adding more services such as: temperature monitoring, door opening and graphic presentation of all assets on a map. This fact gave fleet owners the freedom to monitor assets on the move, converting soon to a real fleet management system. Recently, more sophisticated devices can connect into the data communication bus of the vehicle (CANBUS) and read part of the flow of mechanical parameters between the different on-board computers. The raw data can be stored or transmitted to the fleet manager. But such crude data have no use for the owner, as it contains huge amounts of codes, without any feasible way to sort, digest and define an action. As a matter of fact, all those systems are cost-centers for fleet owners, as they are paying modest monthly fees but getting the payoff only in case of problem. Therefore the industry is moving toward converting telematics to a profit-center. Only a handful of the top telematics providers is capable of analyzing the diagnostic trouble codes. Purple for example, added several layers of Business Intelligence (BI), by selectively collecting data, analyzing it at the vehicle level and transmitting only meaningful events and action-driven alerts to the fleet manager. The art of tele-diagnostics does not stop here: Purple can even predict future failure of components and schedule predictive maintenance cycles, based on real-time data analysis. The data are correlated with GPS location and G maneuvers, as well as with other analogue or digital sensors. The Art of Automotive Tele-Diagnostics Automotive Tele-diagnostics is a multidisciplinary field, composed of Telematics and Diagnostics. It refers to the ability to read, correlate, analyze and transmit real-time information regarding vehicles, its mechanical status, location, safety and other relevant data. The major beneficiaries of tele-diagnostics systems are fleet owners that can improve safety, performance, saving and efficiency of their vehicles.

2 Telematics: In-car connectivity devices are taking care of Location Based Services and infotainment systems. Such devices are featured with GPS antennas and SIM operated cellular modems. Diagnostics: At the old times we could detect faulty engine valve by it sound and a compression problem h simple manometer. Nowadays, with highly sophisticated vehicles, all the monitoring is being done by numerous on-board computers. So once the technician is connecting the diagnostics computer, he can easily understand the mechanical status of the vehicle and its components. The data includes Diagnostics Trouble Codes (DTC), last installed software versions and much more. The same computer also resets the on-boards chips and upgrades the firmware. Few of the leading telematics providers, like Purple are combining an in-depth automotive engineering knowledge with complex algorithms capable of sorting all the on-board data, analyze it and then create meaningful events and alerts, delivered in real-time to the fleet owner, the security officer or maintenance manager. The recipients can take an immediate action regarding the vehicle and the driver, such as to guide him to the closest repair shop, to alert the driver on evolving problem or any other measurement. This fascinating field is going to grab all commuters' attention. We foresee that the tendency of more and more on-board devices, Machine to Machine (M2M) and Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I, V2X) will increase in the upcoming years, so the next generation vehicles will communicate with each other and with the road signs, re-route the trip to avoid traffic jams and collisions.

12 PurpleTrack...Online Real Time School Trip Management System Safety and Security are the highest concern onboard any moving vehicle, especially on a school bus. School bus operators have an obligation to enforce the trust put upon them to ensure that their previous cargo get to and back from their destinations safely. In order to this, bus operators are turning towards technology for a solution. Purple Global Services and Technologies - School Bus Management System (FMS) is a fully featured Web based Application that integrates GIS, GSM/iDEN and GPS technologies for Remotely Tracking, Monitoring and Controlling the Vehicles that carry GSM/iDEN Black Boxes/Handsets and it provides online Real Time Trip Management system. With optional RFID Integration, system can provide exact information on the Students boarding, alighting and attendance in the Bus in real time. System Overview PurpleTrack Online real Time Trip Management System School Management Schedules Type of Trips Pick or Drop Route No. Bus No. Scheduling System Input From School Management List of Students Tracking System SMS Based Alert System This real-time online information reporting system would give assurance and peace of mind to both the parents as well as school authorities to enhance the quality of service by the respective bus operators. The school bus tracking solution allows bus operators and drivers to communicate in real-time overthe-air mode via GPRS and GSM. A key component of such a system is the in-vehicle Equipment (IVE) which could be iden Handset, GPS Black Box or even an Mobile Data Terminal (MDT). The IVE plays an important role in this system by providing bus drivers with student information and being the vital link to the backend system through its built-in GSM/GPRS modem. In addition to the tracking of the busses, an comprehensive trip management, Route management and real time data gathering and analysis are made available to handle anyemergencies or crisis with suitable alerts monitoring system Student Details
