Tailor mobile onboard monitoring to different fleet types

The No. 1 priority for all mobile, onboard monitoring systems is to ensure driver and passenger safety, followed by car performance and fuel/fleet efficiency. Such complex, real-time calculations and precision requirements call for industrial PCs, with powerful CPUs operating on open-platform Linux. Day/night cameras that are capable of recording with clarity, regardless of surrounding weather or lighting conditions, are also a must. Video input ranges from one to 16 channels, and can be compressed and transmitted by said PC to a central server via GPRS, 3-G, WiFi, WiMax or CDMA. Due to often limited bandwidth availability, footage can only be transferred in real time at 30 fps in CIF or D1 resolution; or in HD at 10 to 25 fps... more
