What does it do? | Speed Assist is a compliance app on the iFace, that allows a driver to set their own speed limits. The screen gives a visual queue to the driver when they have breached a set speed limit. | Speed events are actions created by excessive speed and duration from driver. NextGen creates and sends Emails/SMS/Notifications when an event occurs. | The speed siren is an audible device that alert the driver that he/she has exceeded speed set by the Transport Operator. |
How does it work? | It uses the GPS chip from the iFace tablet or Telematics Box depending on your setup. | When the Telematics Box detects breach parameters (see below FAQ), a message gets sent to NextGen to alert users. | A signal is sent from Telematics Box to the speed siren device which is located behind the dash/console. |
How do I configure? | Tap the settings cog from the home page, then the "Speed Assist Settings" button. | Alert email/sms are configured in NextGen via "My Alerts" settings tool bar. If event vehicle settings need to be changed, please write/email NextGenSupport@TeletracNavman.com | The settings work independently from Speed Events, and are set by Teletrac Navman Customer Support. |
FAQ | Speed Assist speeds are different to my Speedo? | What variables do my settings contain? | What variables does the siren consider a breach? |
| The application is to be used as a driver tool to help manage speed. The Australian Design Rules have a specified speedometer tolerance but changes in tire size or wear and tear on a vehicle may mean these are no longer met. Simply changing tyre size on a vehicle will mean the speedometer is no longer correct. | Speed Event Threshold - ie 100km/h Offset - Km/h over when event starts recording Duration - Number of seconds the GPS speed must be above the limit before an event is triggered. Eg. 100km/h - 4km/h - 4 seconds Vehicle will need to be travelling @ 104km/h for 4+ sec. for an event to occur. | Warning Threshold - ie 100km/h Warning Length - Number of seconds before the siren is triggered. Eg. 100km/h - 4 seconds Vehicle will need to be travelling @ 100km/h for 4+ sec. for the siren to be triggered. | |
| I just received an event email. What does it all mean? | The siren is too loud? | ||
| Please click the below link which will show you how to interpret a speed event. LINK | The speed siren can not be adjusted for sound or pitch and meets OHS requirements with a maximum decibel rating of 98db - if you don’t speed, you don’t hear it. |
