[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 346969, member: 927"] Sober, Here's how it works... They are going to put a "black box" in your package car, like an airplane "black box". It will plug into the vehicle bus, and record all the electronic information that the engine has. These are things like rpm, fault codes, brakes, temperature, etc. (More on this later). It has its own GPS receiver with an external antenna, so the unit will record where the package car is at all times. Finally, they will put sensors on the seat belt, bulkhead door, and reverse system. The unit has a mot of memory and gathers information all day long. At the end of the day the information is uploaded to the UPS data center. (They don't send up anything during the day. This system is different than the one you saw). The central computers analyze all this information and compare it to the DIAD delivery data and maps. They then send back to the centers the results and details for analysis. They will record: - Backing events - Recording while driving - Travel with seat belt unbuckled (number of times and total distance) - Travel with bulkhead door opened - Harsh braking - Off area travel - Engine idle time They also send to Automotive any vehicle issues. The data tells automotive where vehicles are having problems BEFORE they break down. Sites that have this have reduced miles, improved safety elements, and reduced breakdowns. If you do a search for "UPS Telematics", there are some news articles about it. P-Man [/QUOTE]
