Cellocator Newsletter - November 2016
|
|
Our November issue includes an update regarding a new CelloTrack Nano feature - the automatic airplane mode. In addition, we present an interesting case study describing how the CR-300B is used in car tours through Scandinavia to ensure the safety of the drivers during the tour and enable the organizers to easily and effectively manage the administrative aspects of the tour.
We would also like to use this
opportunity to announce that we have now reached more than 1500 vehicles (trucks, private vehicles, commercial vehicles and machines) which are
supported within our CANBUS data base.
Finally, we would like to give you a taste of the events we participated in recently: ESS - the international security fair in Colombia,
CTIA 2016 in Las Vegas and the Telematics Conference SEEurope in Budapest,
Enjoy the issue!

New CelloTrack Nano Feature - Automatic Airplane Mode
When the aut
omatic airplane mode is enabled, the CelloTrack Nano unit, based on the analysis of its internal multiple sensors, identifies that the flight has commenced and automatically shuts down RF transmissio
ns after take-off and during the entire flight.
The CelloTrack Nano logs all events internally and transmits those events upon landing.
Normal transmission mode is automatically renewed as soon as the airplane is completely still (and the engines are t
urned off). At this point, all the logged events are transmitted to the back-end.
This unique feature complies with FAA guidelines and enables customers to cover end-to-end airborne shipment scenarios, including shipment by land-air-land.

Case Study
CR-300B in Car Tours Through Scandinavia
About our Partner
Geotrack Telematics B.V., a Cellocator partner, provides innovative and affordable tracking systems for tracking and determining positions of vehicles and other objects through detailed maps on the Internet. Geotrack is a sponsor of
ScanCoveryTrial, an organization that organizes annual car tours through Scandinavia with more than 100 teams and a special destination each year. Based on their software and Cellocator's CR-300B 2G hardware device, Geotrack has been providing the tracking platform for these tours over the last seven years. The upcoming edition of this tour starts on January 6th, 2017 and ends on January 15th, 2017, and its unique destination this time around is the Lofoten Islands.
The Challenge
The ScanCoveryTrial is a unique and challenging tour in which the drivers - who are not familiar with the route - need to drive more than 7,000 km in one week in snow, ice and temperatures that can drop to -47 °C. Therefore, there was an obvious need to find a solution to help
protect the drivers' safety. The organizers wanted to know the teams' locations at all times and to be able to inform them in case they headed off in the wrong direction. Additionally, because weather conditions are tough, speeding is not an option; ScanCoveryTrial needed speed monitoring with alerts so that drivers exceeding the permitted speed limit could be penalized.
As the teams don't know the route, there was a need for a
navigation tool to guide them along the route and lead them to the next point. In other words, when drivers reach the next point on the route, they needed to receive notification of the next coordinated point. This would also help the organizers manage the administrative aspects of the tour.
And, finally, there was also a need for a solution that would
automate time registration.
The Solution
CR-300B™ - Cost-Effective Fleet and Security Management Solution
& Geotrack's Software
Geotrack was able to answer all these challenges by providing a platform consisting of their software, and 120 CR-300B 2G units.
The CR-300B device, pre-programmed with the relevant geo-fences and all the coordinated points, is placed on the dashboard just before the tour starts. Geotrack receives the route in advance and programs all the different waypoints in the units (90 geo-fences), so that the driver can navigate easily to the next point. When a team arrives at a certain point, the CR-300B unit sends an event to Geotrack's platform, automatically initiating an SMS and an email, which are sent to the driver to inform them about the next point.
Because the system "knows" at all times when drivers cross a fence, it is able to calculate the points for driving time/distance. In addition, geo-fences that measure the driving speed are defined, so that in cases where a driver exceeds the speed limit, the driver will receive penalty points. This means that all the required data is calculated automatically, enabling ScanCoveryTrial to announce a definite winner at the end of the tour.
