CarCube innovations increase efficiency and safety : Remote tachograph download, tailbacks in FleetCockpit, integration with blindspot camera
6 May 2011 by LS
At the Transport Logistic 2011 exhibition in Munich, Trimble Transport & Logistics (formerly Punch Telematix) is introducing some new, innovative features for their CarCube on-board computer that increase both efficiency and safety.
The new remote tachograph download produces a considerable time gain when reading from the digital tachograph’s mass memory. Saving time and therefore being able to switch quickly is also an important advantage of visualising current tailback and roadworks information on the map in the FleetCockpit planner tool. Moreover, CarCube integrates state-of-the-art technology to allow data and voice traffic to run simultaneously and in the most beneficial way.
Integrating CarCube with a blindspot and reversing camera puts safety first: the camera images are displayed on the driver’s CarCube, so that he only needs to look at the one screen. (Read more)
