Mining IVMS - IVMS Components and Functions

Component	Type of Signal	Reporting
Global Positioning System	GPS is made up of three parts: satellites orbiting the Earth; control and monitoring stations on Earth and GPS receivers. GPS satellites broadcast signals from space that are picked up and identified by GPS receivers. Each GPS receiver then provides three-dimensional location (latitude, longitude, and altitude) plus the time	Vehicle position, time and trip information is recorded. Speed and braking rates are constantly calculated based on changing positions
Seatbelt Sensors (Driver)	Digital signal provided by detecting seatbelt usage either through 1) the vehicle’s OEM interface or 2) through a micro switch fitted to the vehicle’s seatbelt bases.	Violations reported where driver seatbelts are not used, usage reported where passenger seatbelts are used
Seatbelt Sensors (Passenger)	Passenger Seatbelt monitored when in use	Record usage only. Report provided in weekly reports
Speed Sensor	GPS speed calculation made by the Trimble™ chipset within the Solo unit	Speed is sampled and relayed on an ongoing basis and over-speeding (a single “Max Speed”) is reported as a violation. Over speeding on mine sites is calculated subsequently through geofenced speed zones
Vehicle Roll-Over and Impact Sensor	Sensor mounted in engine bay that senses tilt >450 and/or impact of >6 G using electronic gyroscopy	Incident recorded and reported and detail data stored in the accident buffer
Harsh Braking	Harsh braking sensed and calculated by Solo unit	Violations reported
Over-revving recording	RPM input from engine, with maximum revs calibrated against manufacturer’s recommendation	Violations reported
Excessive Idling recording	Typically based on prescribed period of engine running with no vehicle movement	Violations reported
Handbrake Monitoring	Direct On/off contact from handbrake switch and is not connected to the ‘Solo’ unit	Buzzer if Ignition is on, door is open and handbrake is not engaged
Driver Identification with Key	Unique serial number of key read by (optionally different types of) external readers fitted to dashboard.	Notification sent to system where it is cross-matched with driver detail for purposes of reporting the driver’s name associated with the trip
Ignition on/ off	On/off contact from ignition system	Notification sent to system when Ignition turned on/off
Battery Power Sensor	Unit continually senses external power input and automatically switches to ‘on-board’ battery power when external power is denied. Unit sends notification if power is disconnected.	Battery Tamper Notification sent to system if power disconnected
Impact-Rollover Sensor	Detects incline/decline > 45 degrees (including rollover) Detects impact of > 6G	Optional SMS messaging to nominated personnel. Report and record
