MiX DriveMate is a small in-cab visual device providing Driver ID (using compatible Mifare card), a button to select different driving reasons i.e. Business, Personal or Privacy and information to help improve driving styles. Using seven LED indicators, MiX DriveMate provides the driver with real-time information on four key driving parameters:
- A – Acceleration
- B – Braking
- C – Cornering (Actual Size)
- S – Speeding
GREEN indicates driving within the defined parameters. AMBER is a warning and indicates operation outside of the parameters allowing the driver to take corrective action (no event is recorded at that time). If the driver ignores this warning and further exceeds the parameter, the light progresses to RED and a buzzer will sound to notify the driver. This event is recorded as an infringement in MiX Fleet Manager and reports for authorised persons to view.
These parameters are measured using the MiX onboard computer (OBC), either via the onboard accelerometer or external CAN data. The MiX OBC will be pre-configured to generate warnings and main events for the 4 events above, depending on the type of vehicle it is fitted to, and the customer’s requirements. The DriveMate serial script will access all this information and then control the DriveMate display via simple messages exchanged over the serial interface.
