BroadBit project events and news

BroadBit releases and offers new, industry level automotive black-box (OBU: On Board Unit) for recording driving statistics and event details!

The Automotive Black Box has following hardware features:

• GPS sensor, sampling position at every second. Logged GPS data includes time information, vehicle position, vehicle speed, and GPS signal quality data (HDOP and number of satellites)
• 3-axis accelerometer, sampling acceleration 50 times per second
• Ignition input, which synchronizes unit power to ignition status so that start-up is automated and battery is not drained during days/weeks of standstill
• Rugged metallic casing and automotive input connectors
• Bluetooth radio for communicating logged data
• Internal flash memory, data processing, and statistics generation

Log reporting process may be started manually or automatically in the proximity of a reporting terminal. Provided Java based reporting applications can run on PCs, laptops, smart-phones, or PDAs. In the context of electronic tolling, this allows to set up auto-reporting terminals at:

• Freight forwarder home bases
• Petrol stations
• Border crossings

Complementing server application visualizes reported log data:

• Intuitive user interface allows querying events of interest or road utilization statistics
• Enforcement data can be visualized on a map segment
• Longitudinal and Lateral acceleration are graphically charted
