Description of Off-line mobile unit

The mobile unit is a fixed-mounted device connected to a GPS antenna and to the ignition box in the vehicle. Measured data are stored in the memory block, which can be removed and read with a reader. Obtained data are processed in a PC against a database of at least 36,000 of traffic nodes in the Czech Republic. Every trip starting with switching the ignition key on and ending with switching it off is registered in the mobile unit. When the ignition is on, internal GPS receiver is able to determine the position of the vehicle up to approx. 5 meters within the selected time or distance interval. Data capacity of the unit allows for registering of some 20,000 kilometers at standard settings, by virtue of special data compression method. Using a switch on the memory block panel, each trip can be declared either private or business. No recording of position occurs for private trips. Every time the memory block is removed from the unit a record of this incident is taken by the firmware. Drivers can be identified either by Dallas chip or by use of alphanumeric terminal. This is also how additional data concerning the trip can be entered (driver, trip purpose, amount and price of fuel when tanking and other user defined data categories). Standard output of positional data in NMEA –0183V2.0 format is also possible.

Two basic versions of the system can be delivered – Full Pack (MJ9916F) and Light Pack (MJ9916L) sets.

MJ9916 Full Pack – basic set containing mobile unit with memory block, GPS antenna and reader for PC connection.

MJ9916 Light - „light“ set containing mobile unit with memory block and GPS antenna.

 

Additional accessories

The unit can be connected to a PC via data cable enabling data transfer. Another possible equipment is Dallas chip sensor for driver identification by passing the chip over the sensor. An acoustic siren can remind the driver of his/her identification duty. It sounds until the chip is passed over the sensor and the control light goes off.

Vehicle Logbook Standard software

Our application "Logbook Standard" is the basic software for electronic vehicle logbook. It is a user-friendly Windows application able to process data read from the mobile unit. It contains a database of kilometer distances between 35,000 interconnected locations in the Czech and Slovak Republics, which can be extended by a database of street network of 112 Czech cities and kilometer distances within Europe.
The logbook has been designed for companies and persons using cars and trucks and needing to keep record of business trips. Apart from the trips also operational costs are recorded and reimbursements for privately owned vehicles are calculated. Of course, the program is also able to print lists of recorded trips and monthly statistical reports of distance covered and average fuel consumption for any vehicle and time period. There is no limit to number of drivers and/or vehicles. This software is also used for configuring the mobile unit.
