1 Technology for Transport and Logistics Security and Fleet Management Telematic Systems using GPS Tracking, and Video Surveying Hanns-Christian Wüstner, Socratec Telematic GmbH, Bensheim, Germany 1

2 Business Segments GPS-based vehicle and object tracking Fleet management and telematic systems for public and private transportation Video security systems for mobile usage 2

3 Modern Telematic Applications Safety, theft protection, security -Monitoring of loading doors -Video monitoring on buses and trucks -Geofencing -Corridor monitoring -Remote shut-off Recording of routes and unloading points (logbook) Container tracking Mobile timekeeping 3

4 Increasing Number of Users Tourist and bus companies Freight forwarding agencies and transport companies Users of construction vehicles Vehicle hire companies Handicraft businesses Technical service companies Waste management companies Container services Car Towing services Suppliers of building materials Taxi companies Yacht charterers/boat owners 4

5 Areas of Application of a Tracking System (1) Security application for touristic sector: Buses Dispatching of fleets Tracking of tours Video monitoring inside the bus Alarm messages Structured message and phone functionality Car hire companies: Theft protection/misappropriation (not insurable). Flexible dispatching of vehicles (return locations) Flexible return times (chargeable; over the weekend etc.) Boats Dispatching of boats Tracking of routes Video monitoring Emergency call 5

6 Areas of Application of a Tracking System (2) Other examples in general: Security application for public transportation(in conjunction with an alarm or video system if necessary) Stolen vehicle recovery Activation of e.g. the immobiliser system from the control centre Requirement: concealed installation Taxis (in particular small and medium-sized fleets) Dispatching of vehicles Order transmission or inquiry via mobile phone Emergency call Yachts/Yacht charter Theft protection Documentation of the cruises Recording of groundings 6

7 Areas of Application of a Tracking System (3) Craftsman and service fleets Monitoring of routes to prevent unauthorised use Charging of working times and driving times in the case of mobile activity Dispatching of vehicles Monitoring/notification of delay and arrival times Distribution vehicles/company vehicles Logbook function (private/company trips) Monitoring of target agreements (visits to customers) Sector-specific delivery services (laundry services, hotels etc.) Documentation of trips and unloading locations Monitoring/notification of delay and arrival times 7

8 Areas of Application of a Tracking System (4) Long distance transportation Vehicle fleet dispatching Timekeeping Monitoring/notification of delay and arrival times Refridgerated transports Transmission and documentation of temperatures Alarm messages in case of high temperature Scanning and RFID-acquisition of goods e.g. Gas cylinders, containers Building machinery/construction vehicles Theft protection Recording of the operating times of the auxiliary drive Mobile timekeeping Status monitoring of the building machinery 8

9 Quality Improvement through Telematic Solutions With telematic solutions from Socratec you improve your quality: improve security in tourism, public and private transportation, control arrival times by knowing the vehicle position, inform customers correctly about delivery times, identify the exact position to fetch i.e. container, trailer, optimise route planning by recording real driving routes record delivery times when receivers are not present, record usage of auxiliary engines (refrigerator, etc.), prevent car theft 9

10 Increased Efficiency through Telematic Solutions With telematic solutions from Socratec, you can avoid deadheads, monitor start and stop times, record working times, dispatch fleets more cost-effectively, reduce mobile communication costs, automatically invoice your clients for vehicle-related services, 10

11 Providing a Range of Further Services Further services can be provided on the basis of vehicle tracking by our customers: For example Breakdown services for trucks Alarm messages Various location-based services, e.g. specific wheather data, traffic announcements Specific area-based security services, e.g. fire brigades Platform for customer-specific use (easy integration of vehicles into the information flow of the company) 11

12 Just What is GPS-based Vehicle Tracking? The location of the vehicle is tracked via GPS satellites The position is transmitted once or at regular intervals via mobile network The data is collected in a database and evaluated or displayed by means of software (via Internet or locally). 12

13 How Does a Tracking System Work? Precision: Deviation is 3-7 m (99% of positions) for GPS under perfect reception conditions Actual deviation is 5-20 m (effects of interference on the GPS signals) Limits of the system: GPS does not work in tunnels, garages, halls or buildings GSM covering is necessary Transmission standards: Via SMS or the GPRS/UMTS standard Available information: Place Time Speed (maximum/average) Km driven Stopping and driving times Cartographic representation of routes 13

14 Basic Elements of a Telematic Solution Control centre (SocraMapCenter) Can be operated via browser from any PC Internet-based or local based server On-board unit an enhancements Easy to install (and de-install) GPS-based and thus high-precision GSM/GPRS capability for cost-effective communication 14

15 System Structure 15

16 Security Application via integrated GPS/Telematic-Systems: More than one Concept Theft protection: A geofence is created around the current position of a vehicle/object. If the vehicle /object leaves the geofenced area, an alarm SMS is sent to your mobile phone and via . Theft Alarm: With an additional security key on the vehicle the geofence for theft alarm based on the actual position is activated. If leaving without deactivating by the key (towing away etc.) an alarm is sent by or SMS. 16

17 Control Centre: Alert Manager 17

18 Security Application via integrated GPS/Telematic-Systems: More than one Concept Trailer monitoring: A back-up-battery-powered GPS-system sends its position data when connected to the truck's power system while driving. When unplugged without power it sends its position once a day for 2-3 weeks. When towed away it will be again connected to the power supply. 18

19 Security Application via integrated GPS/Telematic-Systems: More than one Concept Trailer door monitoring: A tamper-proof, battery-powered, wireless trailer identification module is installed outside on the trailer. The module records the door opening and coupling status of the trailer and transmits the status information to the truck (equipped with a bordcomputer), from where routes, alarms and parking positions are transmitted to the control centre using GPRS. 19

20 Security Application via integrated GPS/Telematic-Systems: More than one Concept Corridor monitoring: Routes can be entered by a click of the mouse. If the vehicle leaves the corridor, an alarm is triggered. At the next stop the vehicle can be switched off. 20

21 Security Application via integrated GPS/Telematic-Systems: More than one Concept Speed Alarm The system sends an alarm message when there is overspeed. 21
