DRIVER IDENTIFICATION

It is possible to identify the driver of the vehicle with this functionality. The Dallas iButton tag is
presented to a suitable reader which is connected to pins 4 and 11 of the main loom. The DBI can also
be used for driver id presentation (see paragraph 5.9)
With the help of the buzzer and starter cut-out, presenting of the driver identification button can be
enforced onto the driver when the trip is started.
When a driver tag is presented inside a trip (i.e. when a driver is changed inside a trip) the NX50 shall
force a virtual trip end to enable the backend to keep track of which driver drove which parts of the
trips.
The following settings are available to further customise the driver identification function:
1. Enable encrypted keys with vehicle categories to allow only keys with the correct internal
programming and force drivers with suitable qualification to drive a vehicle.
2. Enforce driver id presentation with immobilise or starter cut-out.
3. Control the valid time of the driver id key before and after the trip has started or ended.
4. Control the time of prompting the driver to present a key.

BUSINESS/PRIVATE TRIP SELECTION

When connecting the DigiCore supplied multi-way switch, the driver can select the type of trip which
he is about to make, either a business or private trip.
With this information, the backend can generate trip reports with the business/ private information filled
in which enables the owner to keep records of his/her trip types. This can be used typically for a tax
report.

DRIVER BEHAVIOUR EVENTS AND INDICATOR

Using the accelerometer, the device is capable of measuring various driver behaviour events which
can be used to evaluate the driver‟s driving-style. These events are harsh accelerate, harsh brake,
harsh corner and harsh bumps. The trigger thresholds of all these events are settable from the base
station. The mechanism of measuring G-forces and what it means in the context of the NX50 is further
explained in the document "DCT-TEC-106 Ctrack NX40 – Functional Overview – Driver Behaviour
Monitoring".
Speed is also used as an input to the driver behaviour monitoring alIndicator (DBI).
To notify the driver visually and audibly of his/her drive style while driving, the Driver Behaviour
Indicator (DBI) mechanism is also part of the device. When a DBI device is connected onto the LIN
