AP1
FAQs
1. What does ADAS stand for?
ADAS stands for advanced driver-assistance system, which
is made up of electronic systems that assist the driver in
the safe operation of a vehicle.
2. What circumstances trigger a speeding warning?
A speeding warning is triggered anytime the vehicle exceeds
a configurable speed threshold. A threshold is set using
the AP1 configuration app or the configuration tool.
3. What is FPW?
A Forward Proximity Warning (FPW) is triggered when
an object is in the forward proximity of the vehicle with
imminent collision at low speed.
4. What is FCW?
A Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is triggered when your
vehicle is likely to collide with another object in front of
the vehicle (when traveling at faster speed).
5. What is FVSA?
A Forward Vehicle Start Alert (FVSA) is triggered when the
vehicle in front of yours begins to move forward while
your vehicle remains stopped.
6. What is LDW?
A Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is triggered when the
vehicle crosses a solid lane line while traveling at or above
the minimum speed. The minimum speed is configurable,
with 25 mph as the default.
7. Does the device alert the driver when an ADAS
event occurs?
Yes. Each alert is in the form of an audible chime, with a
unique chime associated with each ADAS function. Alerts
can be silenced. The associated chimes are configurable
in the AP1 Mobile App.
8. Are the audible notifications the same for each
event or different?
The audible chime notification is different for each ADAS
event. The associated chimes are configurable using the
AP1 Mobile App.
9. Is the audible notification a tone or an actual voice?
The notification is a unique tone, not a voice.
10. Do I need to do anything different to access the
new ADAS event types from SmartAPI?
Possibly. It depends on how you did the integration initially
with SmartAPI. AP1, with ADAS events enabled, will provide
four new event types: FPW, FCW, FVSA and LDW. Once the
ADAS events are enabled for your tenant in SmartAPI, your
"listener" app will receive a callback and the payload will
indicate the new event type. For example:
{
"EventLogID": "ba3c6cf4-b9b2-40b2-8c11-ad8900290987,"
"AlarmIn": 0,
"Altitude": 249,
"DeviceID": "f7d9dced-59ba-4272-aab0-ac46016db691,"
"DeviceStatus": "Installed,"
"EventData": null,
"EventTime": "2021-08-19T02:29:24.7170624Z,"
"EventType": "FCW,"
"GPSValid": true,
Etc.
You may need to account for the new event types inside
your application. For example, if you're re-hosting the
callbacks into your own database, change your database
to allow tracking of the new event type(s).
11. Is the product self-installable?
Yes. AP1 was purpose-built as a self-installable product.
The AP1 Quick Start Installation Guide and installation
video on the AP1 Setup | SmartWitness page will help you.
12. Can I do a hard install if desired?
No. AP1 was purpose-built to be a self-installable product.
