For many companies, fitting a vehicle tracking and accident data system is becoming a mandatory requirement, insisted upon by QHSE departments globally.

DriveRight in-vehicle monitoring systems can provide just the sort of data they require, and indeed several large international companies have specified DriveRight as their choice for all sub-contractors and companies undertaking work on their sites and facilities.

DriveRight vehicle monitors have been evaluated and approved by the US Air Force (under the MEEP evaluation and testing program), one of the most comprehensive testing procedures in the world.

Audible alarms with user-settable limits for speed, acceleration, and deceleration give instant feedback to drivers. Automatically creates an accident log whenever there is a sudden deceleration.

Prevents unauthorized changes to data or thresholds, monitors multiple drivers through ID codes, protects data, and allows monitoring of brake lights, seatbelts, power take off switch, headlights.

Enough memory for 600 trips and 10 accident logs.

• DriveRight 600E VSS.
  The best fitting option. For vehicles with electronic speed sensors (VSS). Includes most 1994 and later model-years, and earlier model-years with cruise control options. Since there are no exposed fixings, or moving parts, this method works especially well for off-road, and extreme terrain vehicles subject to shock or impacts under the vehicle chassis.
   
• DriveRight 600E GD. The universal fitting option. Mounts on the vehicle's driveshaft or CV joint. General-duty model for most cars, light-duty vans, and pickup trucks. The GD fitting kit is very adaptable and has also been fitted to such vehicles as motorcycles, snowmobiles, road rollers, etc.
   
• DriveRight 600E HD. Essentially the same as the GD kit above, but features an upgraded universal sensor mounting kit that uses stainless steel parts and longer wires for trucks, buses, and off-road vehicles.
   
• DriveRight 600E OBD
  For vehicles with an on-board diagnostic (OBDII) port. For most 1996 and later models in USA and Canada.

The optional GPS Module for Drive

With the GPS module, you can see latitude, longitude, and current heading right on the DriveRight display console, helping you pinpoint your exact location at any time.

Choose a location sampling interval from 5 seconds to 10 minutes. At a one-minute interval, you'll be able to log up to 44 hours of GPS data.

Later, download the data - along with the data on speed, time, distance, and driving performance collected by the DriveRight 600E - to our Fleet Management Software.

Export it to a GPS mapping program such as Microsoft's MapPoint (example at right) or Streets and Trips (not included), and you'll be able to create a map of the route taken as well as the location of each start and stop.

Since you'll have data on speed as well as location, you'll be able to judge whether or not your driver was driving appropriately for each roadway. In the case of an accident, you'll be able to see the exact location.

And, if (for instance) you've chosen to monitor the vehicle's brake lights using one of DriveRight's digital inputs, you'll know if and when the driver applied the brakes.

Includes GPS module, installation hardware, and cable for connecting to DriveRight 600E or DriveRight 600 (you need to specify which model).

Working at up to 200m distance from the base station, it is just the answer for some download situations.

No more struggling out to vehicles in the rain with a precious laptop, or drivers having to remember to disconnect their DriveRight and take it into the office each week.

Being fully automatic, with no ongoing charges, it is a cost-effective way to ensure those downloads are never forgotten again, and saves staff time too.

In summary, here are the changes and improvements: 

• The DriveRight 600E's tamper proofing has been improved.
• The reboot has been removed. To waken up the DriveRight 600E in case it's locked you have to take out and put back the 3V battery.
• A capacitor (backup battery) is added to the DriveRight 600E - not a full backup, but still enough to keep date and time in the memory for up to 15 minutes which is enough to replace the 3V battery.
• The Limits and Settings Screen has been removed. These are now controlled by the software only.
• The DriveRight 600E does not have the odometer.
• The DriveRight 600E supports "SmartCard Login Only", so the driver ID cannot be changed manually.
• Finally the DriveRight 600E has improved year detection on the download.

Please Note:

• The new DriveRight 600E GPS Module, DriveRight 600E Wireless On-board Module and of course the DriveRight 600E Interface Module can only be connected to the DriveRight 600E
• These new products cannot be used with the old DriveRight 600
• Also, the previous DriveRight 600 GPS Module cannot be connected to the new DriveRight 600E
• Users of Software versions 2.x will still be able to communicate with the new DriveRight 600E but the units will show as type DriveRight 600
• Users of Software versions 3.x need to upgrade to at least version 3.6.0 to have full functionality with the DriveRight 600E

• Palm Download Kit allows you to download data into a Palm handheld device
• Remote Download Kit for data transfer via an automated modem connection

Each method has its benefits and disadvantages, and we are always happy to discuss which would suit you, often finding that a combination of methods tailored to your individual requirements is best.
