PURPOSE OF THE SPEEDASSIST APPLICATION

The Speed Assist application has been designed to notify the driver when a set speed has been exceeded. A visual and audible alert is activated when the vehicles speed exceeds that set by the driver. The application starts automatically after the screen has been idle for a set time and operates until the driver chooses to close it.


SPEED ASSIST SETTINGS

To enter the settings screen touch the screen on the cog below the brightness slider on the right hand side of the screen

 

Touch the Speed Assist settings button to open the settings screen as shown below

The above screen shot shows the configuration options for the speed assist app.

  • Screen Idle Time – how long after you last touch the screen do you want the application to start, in seconds. Use the plus and minus keys to change the time.
  • Offset speed – how many km/h over the limit do you want to be before the alarm sounds. Use the plus and minus key to change the speed.
  •  Alert Delay – How long after you have exceeded the speed limit by the number of km/h set above, do you want the alarm to sound in seconds. Use the plus and minus keys to change the time.
  • GPS Alert – if the GPS fix is lost the iFace can notify you with a chime when it is restored. Touch the Enabled button to disable the chime.

When you are happy with your changes touch “Save”.

MAXIMUM SPEED SETTINGS

The maximum speed that can be set depends on the lowest of four factors

  1. Road Speed Limit
  2. Vehicle Speed Limit – for example Cranes have an 80km/h limit
  3. Company Speed Limit
  4. Geofence Speed Limit (NextGen Tracking customers only)

There are two modes of operation for speed assist and they vary depending on if you also have Sign Posted speeds enabled. This is a configurable item in the back end and requires navigation to be installed on the iFace.

SIGN POSTED SPEED LIMITS

The accuracy of sign posted speed data varies depending on who the road manager is. Some roads are managed by the local council and some are managed by Vicorads, RMS, TMR etc. Each road manager has their own practices and procedures regarding updating changes to speed limit information, some are better than others. For this reason the accuracy of sign posted speed limit information cannot be guaranteed by Teletrac Navman.

Where signposted speed has been enabled the iFace will automatically alert based on the lowest of the sign posted speed, geofence speed, vehicle or Company setting. The driver is still able to select a speed that is lower than the currently applied setting.

SPEED ASSIST SCREENS

Once the Speed Assist application starts a speedometer is displayed with a digital readout of the vehicles speed. By default the posted speed limit will be used to raise alerts if enabled. The sign posted speed will be displayed under the gps speed. The buttons around the outside of the speedometer allow the driver to set the speed that, if exceeded, will cause the alarm to sound.
