Lone Worker Protection The Grace T-Pass series of wireless safety monitoring devices provides two-way data communications between workers and their vehicles. The information is then relayed over satellite, cellular or mobile radio channels to the base monitoring software via a Tracker i50. If the worker collapses or is incapacitated the unit will automatically send an emergency alert to the base monitoring control. The base monitoring software can also automatically send text message emergency alerts via to one or more cell- phones.
GARMIN NUVI two-way messaging and routing In the transportation of freight, time is money! Drivers getting lost on route costs both time and fuel, and in today's economy the fleet manager must run an efficient operation. By selecting Datalink's DataNET "back end" software and a Garmin nuvi Fleet Management Terminal such as the 765, drivers will be able to take the shortest and quickest route to any address with turn by turn visual track and voice directions. The power of the DataNET software allows the dispatcher to use the mouse to select a destination point on a map and to transmit the location over the active network RF link to the vehicle, where the Garmin unit will calculate the vehicle's current location and the best route to the destination point and display it for the driver to follow. DataNET will also allow two-way text messages to be exchanged between the dispatch desk and the driver. The driver can send a choice of "canned" messages. The GPS location of the vehicle is automatically sent to the dispatcher's computer mapping display. For more details go to: Garmin nuvi units will work with i50B Tracker units
Back end software MERCURY for Kenwood, developed by Datalink Systems Inc. is a variant of our DataNET and works with both digital NEXEDGE and older analog radios. Mercury consists of three elements. DataGate which is the core IP routing module, and can be installed in any windows server. DataHost is the messaging and mapping module, installed in one or more workstation computers. WebClient is a web-browser version of DataHost, but has less features than DataHost. The i50 is fully integrated with our Mercury “back end” software. For more information on Mercury please visit:
DataHost for workstations Required for advanced operation DataHost is the optional “client” program that resides on the customer’s computers, providing extensive tracking and reports options. DataHost is fully integrated with the following mapping programs. Google Maps, Google Earth, Open Streets, Mappoint and Bing. Other mapping programs can be used such as Streets-on-a-Disk and ESRI-GIS. Those may require some development. DataHost can also provide a NMEA GPS output for 3 rd. Party development. Mapping licenses may be required for some applications. Unlike the majority of ASP Web based AVL-GPS vehicle tracking services where a 3 rd. Party hosts all the data DataHost stores all the historical data on the customer’s computer, allowing for instant recall and Global map zooming in seconds. DataHost is the “client” software located in customer’s computers and connects to a remote DataGate over the Internet, Intranet or local LAN. The embedded mapping program links are Google Maps, Bing Maps and Microsoft Mappoint.
Our Mercury software is available free to all Kenwood Dealers for demonstration and also customer evaluation purposes. For a live demonstration and more information contact: Datalink Systems Inc Free demonstration software
