Features/Functions
- The Magna II device is straight forward to install and in its simplest form only requires 3 wire connections
- The unit has 8 inputs (4 x analogue and 4 x digital), one of which is normally used to monitor the vehicle battery and another the ignition, with the rest allowing the continuous monitoring of emergency, utility and auxiliary equipment
- Also 4 outputs are available to provide instant driver behaviour feedback or turn other devices on and off
- Smart algorithm of data acquisition (time, distance, angle, ignition and event)
- Events on I/O detection and sending via GPRS or SMS
- Tri-Axis dual level accelerometers to translate vehicle movement with remotely adjustable levels to suit vehicle type and preferred (acceptable) driving style
- Real time and historic tracking with speed recorded
Accelerometer
- Harsh braking
- Harsh acceleration
- Harsh cornering
These accelerometers can also be utilised to detect vehicle movement by changes in g-forces at the rate of 10Hz in the X, Y and Z axis
Smart Crash Detection (IDR Data)
- Smart Crash Detection, or Incident Data Recorder (IDR) Data, is captured by monitoring accelerometer measurements at a higher frequency of 25Hz than that sampled at 1Hz for standard event date recording
- In conjunction with this a ‘Crash Detection’ profile is defined by setting-up:
- An Acceleration Threshold set as g-force in millig’s (mG), where 1G = 9.807 metres per second squared and event duration set in milliseconds (msec)
- If an incident occurs and the vehicle device detects an acceleration value higher than the pre-set threshold and within the pre-set time-period, the unit will generate a ‘Crash Event’. As such the threshold and duration values can be set to capture incident events of interest. Where detection could range from a slight tapping on the device (Threshold=100mG, Duration=1ms) through to a severe accident type impact (Threshold=4000mG, Duration=5ms)
- The capture window of the Smart Crash Detection feature is sufficient to store acceleration data every 5 seconds before and 5 seconds after an incident (crash/accident) occurs at a resolution 25Hz (a sampling rate of 40 milliseconds), including when the device is in deep-sleep mode to ensure events that occur when a vehicle is not in use or parked-up are not missed
- This data is held in the vehicle devices storage ‘buffer’ over a rolling 10 second period, but is only transferred to the system server when an incident is detected, clearing it out to make it available to record future events. Also, each record will be time stamped in millisecond increments.
