1. INTRODUCTION E-TRIP ® Version: 2004/08/16 Order No.: 9526 Page 4 1 INTRODUCTION E-TRIP® is a high-performance onboard computer for motor vehicles such as trucks, buses or cars. Having the size of a car radio, the onboard unit collects vehicle operation data, driver and environmental data and transfers them to the fleet via GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications, SMS - Short Message Service). It supports all administration tasks occurring in a modern fleet and is a basic part of a digital fleet management system. E-TRIP® may also serve for toll collection or work as accident data recorder. The unit is able to display limit and threshold values as well as indicate alarm conditions. E-TRIP® is a manipulation-safe unit. You are able to analyze the fuel economy of your vehicle's fleet while the driver can check the vehicle's operating data. E-TRIP® has been designed as a modular unit. You can configure the unit according to your individual requirements. 1.1 System architecture and components E-TRIP® comprises the following components: • LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) • Operation keys • Signal generator • LED´s • GPS module for the exact location and tracing of vehicles, RSE (Road Side Equipment) is not required • GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) module for the data transfer through the mobile telephone network • PSRR module • OrbComm module (option) • E-TRIP Service Tool – the E-TRIP® configuration program that runs under MS Windows® on your PC • System cards - one system card for the company - supplied by your service center • Driver cards - one driver card for each driver
1. INTRODUCTION E-TRIP ® Version: 2004/08/16 Order No.: 9526 Page 5 1.2 Functions Using the full range E-TRIP® allows you to: • log to vehicle data, tracking data and environmental data securely, • store these data securely, • transfer these data automatically and securely, • display data "driver-friendly", i.e. clearly and easily legible, • check data, and • control engine, fuel consumption and efficiency. LCD (Liquid Crystal Display): two lines, each of 16 characters length, for digital readouts, menu functions and submenus, messages Operation keys: for manual inputs, menu control, operations. Acoustic signals: to confirm correct operation actions or signal errors. RTC (Real-Time Clock): battery-backed, For the correct time information. Switches between standard time and daylight saving time. GPS receiver: Use of the GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite signals for vehicle's positioning, either upon request or at adjustable intervals. PSRR: (Private Short Range Radio).
