v-AWARE

GSE Collision Awareness Module

The cost of repairing GSE can be significant - and with the associated loss of productivity and health and safety implications, gaining control of damages on the ramp is essential.

The v-AWARE module is an extension to our VTIS GSE management system, and provides a real-time alert whenever an impact is detected. Customers who install v-AWARE frequently report that their damage repair bills drop by at least 50%.

The system consists of a triple-axis impact sensor, which is mounted on the vehicle chassis. Suitable for all types of motorised GSE, the sensor can be set to trigger at 2 different thresholds - a "low-g" value and a "high-g" value dependent upon the type of GSE - when an impact exceeding either threshold is detected, the vehicle/fleet ID, date, time, location and speed are recorded and sent wirelessly to our data server centre.

GSE lock system If the GSE is also equipped with our v-LOCK system, the identity of the driver will also be included in the message. This alert message can be transmitted directly to the Fleet Manager, via an SMS/text message or as an email. Alternatively, if you are using our v-TRACK mapping system, the alert message can appear as a flag on the map showing the location of the over-speed event and other key data.

If you don't need real-time notification of collision events, all data can be stored and sent to you regularly in the form of an Excel spreadsheet or alternatively can be viewed on-line via our v-DASH or v-VIEW reporting systems. v-aware reporting systems
