Green Driving Solution

Project description

Growing world population and development of new technologies contribute to the growth in use of transport. Driving style is one of the factors directly influencing fuel consumption and vehicle life, e.g. aggressive acceleration, harsh braking, harsh cornering and over speeding. Inefficient driving produces more exhaust gas emissions, thus, increasing the negative environmental impact on our planet.

What you need for a solution?

• All Teltonika FM devices are compatible with this use case.
• The SIM card in order to receive data to Your server.
• Teltonika Configurator to set up FM device correctly for the solution.
• FOTA WEB to remotely send the configuration to the device.
• BTAPP / Driver application to monitor and score driver behavior. Real time events notifications about harsh acceleration, braking, cornering, over speeding, idling and RPM. Solution designed to improve driver behavior and productivity.

Installation

It is good to know that this functionality is supported by all Teltonika vehicle trackers.

Green driving functionality that collects data on acceleration, braking, over speeding, harsh cornering and no-load engine operation. This information is instantly analyzed. If the received values are beyond the set parameters, the device sends a command to the LED or Buzzer installed in the driver’s cab and alerts that he or she is driving inefficiently. In case of the driver alert function, please note that the device must have DOUT for this feature to work.

There are two sources for Green Driving operation – GPS data and accelerometer. The desired one can be selected in Configurator. GPS data is pretty reliable and does not require any additional effort to make it work. On the other side, accelerometer data is more precise and ensures uninterrupted operation even when GPS signal is not available, for example, in tunnels or underground parking lots. However, in order to utilize accelerometer data correctly, the device has to perform autocalibration process, which is automatic, as the name implicates, but may take some time.

What is also very important for green driving to work properly, device connection pins socket must point towards the vehicles front side. Deviations of +/- 2o are allowed. But it should be as straight as possible. Deviations of maximum +/- 15o are allowed. Horizontal position must be as flat as possible – parallel with vehicle plain.

Configuration

Configuration of Green driving scenario:

Before configuring Green driving solution it is important to set up GPRS settings for a device.

GPRS settings

Parameter ID – Parameter name GPRS settings:

• 2001 – APN
• 2002 – APN username (if there are no APN username, empty field should be left)
• 2003 – APN password (if there are no APN password, empty field should be left)

Server settings:

• 2004 – Domain
• 2005 – Port
• 2006 – Data sending protocol (0 – TCP, 1 – UDP)

After successful GPRS/SERVER settings configuration, FMB920 device will synchronize time and update records to the configured server. Time intervals and default I/O elements can be changed by using Teltonika Configurator or SMS parameters. After familiarizing with devices first start guide and device's GPRS settings are set - configuration for Green driving can be done.

BTAPP Mobile application

After making configuration for Your device, it is time to download BTAPP. Keep in mind, app and device connection is established via Blue-tooth. Devices by default come with Blue-tooth enabled and visible. After pairing to device - You can change the trip type of Your trips by performing a long press on the icon and confirming the change.

In platform

BTAPP FMB Bluetooth application for real time driver notifications. Save on fuel by reducing aggressive driving, increase your driver safety and reduce the number of driving-related incidents with Bluetooth application.

ECO driving

Bluetooth connection to monitor and score driver behavior. Real time events notifications about harsh acceleration, braking, cornering, overspeeding, idling and RPM. Solution designed to improve driver behavior and productivity.

• You must connect to the FMB device by clicking Blue-tooth icon, and selecting your FMB device.
• Each event that was detected by the FMB device will be displayed in the application as well. Users can be notified visually, event icon will turn yellow and event count will be increased accordingly, and by sound alert as well (can be optionally enabled in application settings).
• Eco score is calculated by FMB device depending on total event amount and trip distance.

Eco score, distance, and duration is being updated periodically automatically.

• Trip status can be Ongoing and Finished. The trip finish is decided by FMB configuration. If the application will be connected to FMB device during an ongoing trip – the application will update event count, score, distance, and trip duration for an ongoing trip.
