-
Additional configured reports:
- Geozone Elapsed Time Report.

Event Notification Rules Engine
(see also the Feature Comparison chart below)
As a separately priced add-on to the above Basic GTS Enterprise, we can provide a full commercial version of our Event Notification Rules Engine which includes the following features:
- Event Notification Rules-Engine support module (binary) license, which can analyze incoming events and send email notification (or SMS messages with wireless service provider support) based on certain pre-defined criteria, such as arrive/depart, low-battery (provided the hardware supports low battery events), panic, digital-input changes, time-of-day, etc.
- The Event Notification Rules-Engine module can also be used for selecting specific icons to display on a map based on the specific type of event. Such as displaying a specific icon for "ignition on" events, etc.
- Additional web-interface for creating event rules.
- Documentation for creating and using event rules.
- Assistance in setting up various types of 'Rules'.
- Purchase includes 30 days of technical/configuration support. (Continued upgrade support also available for an additional fee).
Additional Remote Tracking Device Support
As separately priced add-ons to the above Basic GTS Enterprise, we can provide support for many devices from different GPS tracking/telematic hardware manufacturers. We can also implement support for other tracking devices if not already listed below.

Other Supported Features
Here are few other additional custom features and modules we can provide for specific GPS tracking/telematic application requirements:
-
State-line border crossing detection:
For I.F.T.A. fuel tax reporting, supports detection of state border crossings (city, county/province, country, also possible with the proper shapefiles). Currently supports US states, however, with the proper shapefiles, other geographical areas could be supported as well. -
Support for trailer drop/hook detection:
(available only on selected client hardware). This feature provides reporting of which trailers are hooked to a truck, and where they were disconnected/dropped. Special hardware is required that can detect when a trailer has been atached, or detached, from the truck. -
Support for truck J1708
/ J1587
/ J1939
monitoring and engine disagnostics:
(available only on selected client hardware). Engine data buss monitoring allow collection of engine disagnostic information, such as actual vehicle odometer, RPM, fuel used, fault codes, etc. -
Support for load temperature monitoring:
(available only on selected client hardware). Temperature monitoring for refrigerated compartments, etc. -
Customized client telematic device integration:
Integration of features such as driver notification, Bluetooth/WiFi connectivity, specialized telematic data collection, legacy system integration, video system integration, tire pressure monitoring, etc. -
Additional commercial mapping provider and reverse-geocoding support:
Including MapTuit, MultiMap, ESRI, and others. -
Secure GeoCorridor support:
(available only on selected client hardware). For high-value loads, this provides route monitoring from one location to another. If the vehicle deviates from the route an alert event is sent, or if the vehicle dwells/stops too long in the route an alert event is sent. -
Support for other custom requirements:
We can help with the integration of the tracking/telematic data into legacy systems, or help with the development of other specific telematic requirements. -
Continuing upgrade support and maintenance:
We can provide continued upgrade support and maintenance to meet you specific requirements.
We can help you design a system that fits your specific requirements. Please contact us for additional information or assistance with your custom GPS tracking and telematic project. We have a team ready to assist you. Contact us at projects@geotelematic.com
