Fleet Box

The basic FleetBox tracking solution is based around a small ABS module, a GPS satellite antenna, and a wiring harness. The system requires only 3 wire to make it operate - ground, permanent power (6-28 volts), and an ignition switched line. The GPS antenna can be placed covertly under the dashboard of the vehicle.

Once a fleet monitoring system has been installed into an organisation, its day to day operation may be controlled by one or two people from one department, either Transport or Operations.

But if the information is used wisely and shared throughout the business, it can instil a positive effect for other departments and personnel. Sharing this information could help to increase the cost-benefit and improve the return on investment in the system.

TrailerBOX

The trailerBOX is a trailer tracking unit which logs continually the position of the trailer using high sensitivity GPS receivers and quad band GSM / GPRS technology to convey data to the BOX data collection web site. The design has been approved by the Vehicle certification Agency (VCA) and EMC / FCC / UL approved for use within the US markets using the 850 & 1900MHz frequency bands for GSM / GPRS. The trailerBOX is easy to install encompassing only 3 wires which can be attached to the trailers positive, negative and ignition feed (normally found within the Suzzie connector).

An integral GSM and GPS antenna allows this product to be installed very quickly into the tracking environment (other options are available for external GPS / GSM antenna installs).

Other additions to the trailerBOX is the on board tri-axial acceleration sensor allowing measurement of acceleration in perpendicular axes which could aid measurements in tilt, motion, shock or even vibration (this is normally factory set to the operating mode requirements, Tracking / Covert). An on board temperature sensor will provide ambient temperature around the environment of the trailerBOX install which could be particular useful if the trailer is Parked and the trailer temperature is required hourly / daily.

Functional Specification

  • trailerBOX will log start-up/shutdown events when ignition is turned ON/OFF.
  • trailerBOX will when ignition is ON log Moving events every 1 minute before sending information via GPRS to the DCS every 5 minutes.
  • trailerBOX will when ignition is OFF log a Parked event every 1- 24 hours if vehicle ignition remains OFF and then sends information via GPRS to the DCS every 1- 24hrs.
  • trailerBOX will when vehicle Ignition is ON but vehicle is stationary or has travelled < 0.1 of a mile within a whole minute will log Stationary Event every 1 minute before sending information via GPRS to the DCS every 5 minutes.
  • trailerBOX will alert the DCS with a GPS Tamper event if the GPS antenna is removed from the trailerBOX when the unit wakes-up on an Ignition On or Parked event (this would be also the case if the antenna hardware fails). Any alarms forwarding to mobile numbers or by emails are done via the DCS.
  • trailerBOX will alert the DCS with a Battery Disconnect event if main vehicle battery power is removed when either the unit wakes-up on an Ignition On or Parked event. Any alarms forwarding to mobile numbers or by emails are done via the DCS.
  • trailerBOX in Covert Mode will generate an Ignition On Event followed by moving events every 1 minute if the tri-axial accelerometer detects movement in any direction. If the Vehicle stops or becomes stationary for 5 minutes then the trailerBOX will log an Ignition Off.
  • trailerBOX in Tracking Mode will generate a Motion Detected if any activity of movement is picked up from the tri-axial accelerometer (vehicle being lifted, accidentally driven into, towed away etc). Any alarms forwarding to mobile numbers or by emails are done via the DCS.
  • trailerBOX can be programmed with Geofence locations by BOX Telematics Ltd with detection In/Out of zone time of 1 minute. An event showing Entry / Exit of Geofence will be sent to the DCS via GPRS. Any alarms forwarding to mobile numbers or by emails are done via the DCS.
  • trailerBOX can be polled by the user using the SPOTON software which will send an SMS to the trailerBOX to update its current status. Note: if the Ignition is On then the BOX will respond within 8 seconds of receiving the SMS message else if the vehicle is Parked, then the trailerBOX will update on the next triggered wake-up event which is configured between 1 - 24 hour intervals.
