1.4. Device Overview
1.4.1. Device Overview and Purpose
iON FM is a navigation user terminal (NUT) designed for installation on the object of observance, collec-
tion, storage and transmission of data to the server for further processing. The navigation terminal receives
location and time data from the GPS/GLONASS satellites. The collected data is transmitted to the server over
the GSM network using the GPRS packet-switched service. The data on the server is available to a user through
the dispatching software.
It is necessary to remember that iON FM is just a part of the tracking system. m. The navigation terminal
itself is responsible for data acquisition and transmission from the surveillance object to the server where the
data is processed and provided to an end user.
Overall, the tracking system enables you to complete a wide range of tasks:
●
safety issues — vehicle travel data, operating disturbances, etc.;
●
efficiency improvement — control of a vehicle use only in authorized operations, efficiency analysis
of the performed tasks;
●
ensuring operation transparency — all data on vehicle travels, fuel consumption and other data is
transmitted to the server and available online;
●
statistical data collection — in the process of vehicle operation an end user is provided with various
data which can simplify and even improve efficiency of performing tasks. Moreover, this data helps to make
calculations of different economy-related measurements.
1.4.2. Navigation Terminal Functions
The iON FM navigation terminal as a part of the tracking system fulfils the following functions:
●
fixes the vehicle location (space coordinates) using GPS/GLONASS module;
●
determines overload, direction change, turns using the built-in accelerometer;
●
collects data from the sensors:
•
digital sensors;
•
analog sensors.
