Within a short span of three months, the module technical communications one has certainly taught me a lot. While the module focuses mainly on effective communication, the main takeaways were how to effectively give feedbacks and the proper format of report writing. There were a lot of interactions during classes, from reading off from slides to group work. The idea of using blogspot as a platform of submitting our work was great as it can be used to archive our work as well as give us a reference to our peer’s work. When we started our design report, that was where we applied what we have learnt so far earlier in the module. There were tasks to be completed during class as well as after. These tasks were each a small part of the design report. I like how they were broken down as it gives us time to understand the proper framework and what was expected of us for each task. For the showcase, I was part of the committee. I was appointed to be the overall in-charge of the event. My

According to Zonar Systems (2018), Zonar’s V4 is the latest Telematics Control Unit (TCU) released to monitor and track fleets in any kind of vehicle. It optimizes “decision-making” capabilities that improves the driver’s performance by allowing the driver access to the data in real time. As mentioned in the webpage, the main function of Zonar’s V4 is to track the vehicles’ location with high accuracy through the use of GPS and BeiDou satellites. One of its unique features is the “Intelligent Logging Algorithm”, which records every single vehicle activities such as the accessories used, and actions made. Though the use of Zonar’s Application Programming Interface (API), Zonar’s V4 is interconnected with other systems such as the Transportation Management System (TMS) that further improves the system. Drivers can trust that the data collected by Zonar’s V4 will be compressed, encrypted and transmitted before being sent to the data centres over a Virtual Private Network (VPN). Data co

According to the website “ https://zonarsystems.com ” (2018), Zonar V4 is the latest Telematics Control Unit released to monitor and track fleets of vehicles using mass transit. It optimizes “decision-making” capabilities. The main function is to track vehicles’ location with high accuracy using GPS and BeiDou satellites. One of the unique features is the “Intelligent Logging Algorithm” which records vehicle activities. Zonar V4 has interconnection with other systems such as the Transportation Management System (TMS) thus improving services. Drivers can trust that the data collected by Zonar’s V4 will be sent over a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to data centres through compression, encryption and transmission. Nationwide coverage is provided through the built-in 4G radios. Data collected in the last six months will be backed up if drivers are within an area with restricted cellular coverage. By using Zonar’s Ground Traffic Control software, it optimizes  the driver’s performance

Self-Introduction

Dear Professor Brad Blackstone I am Nurul Atiqah Binte Mohamed Amin and I am a year one student from your technical communications one module. You can simply address me as Atiqah. I am currently pursuing a degree in telematics (intelligent transportation systems engineering) at Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT). I graduated from Singapore Polytechnic (SP) with a diploma in computer engineering, specializing in networking and systems. My interest in Information Technology (IT) grew as I watched my father pursue a career in the IT sector as a Senior IT Officer. As a child, he would bring me along to work and from there, I would see how hard he worked. He would briefly describe to me the work he was doing and allow me to try if it was simple. Through that, I decided to pursue a diploma in computer engineering. However, IT is a very broad field. After much consideration, I decided to pursue a degree in telematics as a challenge of trying something new but still something cl
