Week 3 Assignment - Summary of a telematics product

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 performa...

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...
