Usecases

In-truck signaling and speed advisories

Information about the speed limit, advisory speed, overtaking bans and lane configuration? Your driver receives it clearly via an app or directly via the on-board computer. Only the most important information is sent, so it stays pleasant and safe.

In-truck info on hazardous situations and operations

An accident, a car stopped by the side of the road, a road inspector working on the shoulder of the road.... All situations that surprise you during a drive. Various Connected Transport applications keep the driver informed, allowing for anticipatory and safe driving.

Prioritizing intelligent traffic control systems (iVRIs)

In other words, smart traffic lights. This means that your trucks get green lights more often. This improves traffic flow, it saves braking and acceleration and therefore time, fuel and C02 and NOx emissions.

In-truck current information on iVRI

Even if you are not given priority, you also benefit from the iVRI. In fact, the information service advises how long the traffic light will be on red or green. This allows the driver to roll on calmly or avoid abrupt braking. In some cases, speed advice is even available for the driver to keep green.

In-truck bringing of road sensor data

Updates on tire pressure, weight and height restrictions are relayed directly to your on-board computer. This not only helps road safety but also provides insight into your exact weight for loads at docks and bridges.

Data for planning and routing

Every municipality has its own rules about window times and parking spaces, and as a logistics planner you just have to know. With this application, the data is immediately processed in the planning package, for example: loading/unloading spaces, environmental zones, preferred routes and more.

Tire pressure gauges in the road surface record tire pressure. Drivers are proactively notified of this. This increases safety and saves fuel for our customers.

Before, we all had different devices in the truck. The big advantage of this system is that it all comes in on one device. A lot safer for the driver.
