[Final] Assignment #1 – Product Description Summary and Analysis

-

GPS Insight (2019) states that Driveri 360° AI Camera is a vehicle dash camera which brings solutions for an organisation to protect against false claims as well as a platform to improve driver management and training. Driveri 360° AI Camera video captures 1080p HD video and full 360° view angles of traffic incidents. It processes them in real-time with its advanced technology of machine learning software to instant capture and review events and in turn reduces the user’s need to view hours of footage. Video footage is stored for an unlimited time in the cloud, or locally for up to 100 hours. An easy to use mobile/web application enables employers with an interface to easily access the videos on the go.

It is also capable of providing an overall view of driver behaviour to pinpoint the responsible party. The telematics device improves safety, provides a wide range of data and analysis to help identify driver behaviour trends and stops reckless driving as it occurs. It is user-friendly, and no smartphone or WiFi is needed onboard a vehicle (to utilize the device). Built-in GPS, Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) as well as 4G LTE connectivity gets everything done in a single device. Partnering with Netradyne, GPS Insight’s Driveri 360° AI Camera is taking safety technology into the next level, bringing the most insightful driver behaviour data to customers.

Amongst the various features of GPS Insight’s Driveri 360° AI Camera, the most innovative aspect is the machine learning software, which instantly captures and reviews driving events in real-time and able to greatly enhance the efficiency as well as safety levels of that company’s fleet.

The machine learning software is powered by Netradyne’s vision-based technology which provides GPS Insight’s Driveri 360° AI Camera with comprehensive insights into driver behaviour such as driver drowsiness, hard acceleration and harsh braking. Many other solutions only provide a limited, event-based view from triggers such as unsafe driving. The VP of Product for GPS Insight said that “The difference in these technologies is analogous to having a fleet manager riding shotgun with their drivers at all times versus doing a ride-along for a couple of minutes per month to determine the overall safety of their fleet” (Demmons, S. 2019).

Video footage captured through in-cab cameras is helping fleets tackle risk in a whole new way. While receiving information of unsafe driving such as speeding, harsh braking and rapid acceleration can be of great value, users can now see what’s happening from the driver’s perspective as well as in the cab of the vehicle. This helps organisations recognise and correct the highest levels of risk and liability within their fleet.

Another capability is to provide organisations with a much higher level of coaching information such as the reviews of driver behaviours collected by the camera which leads to positive feedback for a driver’s performance. The camera captures when a driver demonstrates positive behaviour such as adjusting following distance to give space when another vehicle cuts in front or when the driver moves over a lane when there is a disabled vehicle on the shoulder.

In addition, the company plans to develop a new fleet management application, namely “risk maps” that identify locations with an elevated accident risk in truck routes and help familiarise drivers such as issues with certain delivery locations (Huff, A. 2019).

To conclude, GPS Insight’s 360° AI Camera would be the top pick for any organisation with fleets of vehicles. With unique features such as a 360-degree view and machine learning software to instantly capture and review events from all angles of the vehicle, it is the go-to solution for a more efficient and safer fleet of vehicles and drivers for the organisation.

[Formal Email] Self Introduction

Subject: Self-introduction email Dear Professor Brad, I am writing this email to introduce myself as your student of Technical Communication 1. My name is Tay Wei Hao, a year 1 student at Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT), pursuing a degree in Telematics (Intelligent Transportation System Engineering). I have previously graduated with a Diploma in Electronics, Computer & Communications Engineering at Nanyang Polytechnic. With my diploma, I went on to work in the transport sector as an assistant project engineer for four years. The four years was an eye-opening experience for me. Dealing with multiple large-scale projects, I have experienced first-hand how projects are implemented and executed in a timely, safely and cost-effective way. Learning and understanding the importance of each project phase from requirements, design, installation, testing to opening was crucial as well. And that is just the tip of the iceberg. As not all projects are always smooth sailing, ...

The Importance of communication skills for engineers

-
“I contend that we (engineers) are undervalued because of our widespread inability to explain what we do to the general public (and why it is so important). It is one of the hardest goals to accomplish, to be able to boil down difficult concepts into a short and easily understood presentation or elevator pitch.” Marybeth Miceli, President, Miceli Infrastructure Consulting, USA (2011) I personally do feel that why engineers may struggle with soft skills compared to other people/profession could be due to engineers spending large amount of their time looking at problems, equations, how things work and studying them. Rather than 'studying' people. Which comes the risk of technically capable people not being able to communicate their technical understanding well.  The engineering aspect is not just everything in the job. It is in fact people who decide what project or product gets built, how it gets built, when and where it gets into the ‘hands’ of people who uses it. Engin...
