According to the article “Telematics will change trucks and trucking” by Sean
Kilcarr 2015, connectivity and opportunities created by data analysis is
going to change trucks and the trucking industry. This introduces key
benefits of having an electronic logging device, such as connecting truck drivers
via smart phone applications, better utilization of data and mixing of data
and video. The easy
to deploy Saavy FleetTrac telematic device would facilitate connectivity for
Telematics in trucking. It features a powerful antenna which allows concealed
mounting within a vehicle. Wallace Lau argued
that “connectivity is the biggest enabler of a lot of potential benefits for
this industry.” Through connectivity drivers avoid traffic congestion when
operating night time schedules. This highlights how telematics in trucking
would be highly beneficial to every truck driver.
In conclusion, two way communication can take the guesswork out of
handling unexpected situations on the road, such as bad weather or a major
traffic jam. Also to keep track of all vehicles at all times, an
especially important feature if a truck is stolen or damaged. This product is
very useful for all truck users.
For functionality, "Savvy Fleetrac can be adapted to the customer's
specific context” .In order to meet the individual customer's truck
specifications the Savvy FleetTrac adjustable, “optimized for quick
installation” and requires no external antennae. Savvy FleetTrac stands out
because it needs very little power to operate, so it meets all current and
foreseeable environmental regulations. Low power usage allows for longer
operating time.
Some of the changes connectivity would make in the industry
would be allowing drivers to capitalise on data. The Saavy FleetTrac provides drivers with information in real-time
via a portal and links it to a ”top quality map with all the relevant
geo-information.A application of this would be avoid traffic congestion when operating night
time schedules. This bring drivers benefits such as
increased fuel economy. The software is
Web-based and can be used without local installation conveniently through the
Internet, via cloud, private cloud and on premises. Drivers could access via
mobile devices from anywhere and at any time.users of the Saavy FleetTrac receive a clear overview of their processes and
can monitor their activities.
One of the main concerns would be information security. With data being garnered,
hacking would disrupt telematics in trucking. The Savvy
FleetTrac device transmits data securely via encryption. Additionally, data
transmission checks ensures the safety of the information.

Dear Marilyn,
ReplyDeleteYour product summary is interesting to read. However I would like to point some sections of your summary that you could improve on.
1)The easy to deploy Saavy FleetTrac telematic device would facilitate such connectivity for Telematics in trucking which feature a powerful antenna which allows concealed mounting even within a vehicle.
The above can be spilt into two sentence>> The easy to deploy Saavy FleetTrac telematic device would facilitate connectivity for Telematics in trucking. It features a powerful antenna which allows concealed mounting within a vehicle.
2)" This enable external power supply usage is low while the trucks are being used for long operating time." (Grammar, can be better phrased, for example: "Low power usage allows for longer operating time")
3) "A application of this would be avoid traffic congestion when operating night time schedules.this bring drivers benefits such as increased fuel economy The software is Web-based and can be used without local installation conveniently through the Internet, via cloud, private cloud and on premises. Drivers could access via mobile devices from anywhere and at any time.users of the Saavy FleetTrac receive a clear overview of their processes and can monitor their activities." (Punctuation, spacing, capitalisation can be improved)
4) You might want to include other articles and products to reference to. This way you can analyse the advantages/disadvantages of your product with other products.
5) Reference list needs to be included.
