Improve fleet security and affordably prevent auto thefts with Teltonika EYE Beacons and vehicle GPS trackers LARGE FLEET SECURITY ENHANCED BY EYE BEACONS INTRO Vehicle theft is a major challenge and an unwelcome concern for cost-conscious fleet managers. The level of transport theft around the world is staggering. For example, between 2012 and 2020, auto thefts in South Africa alone are reported to have risen to nearly 20,000 stolen cars per year. Business owners and fleet managers are under pressure to protect their fleets as much as possible without spending a fortune. CHALLENGE Transport theft occurs in a wide range of industries – car-sharing, delivery, logistics, taxi, etc. As a result, banks, microfinance lenders, business owners and insurance companies have to take huge losses . This situation is costly and time-consuming, increasing business owners' willingness to find and invest in a solution. Another challenge faced by fleet owners - compromised vehicle trackers due to jamming or dismantling them. Even if a car is equipped with a GPS device, some thieves may know this and deliberately block or remove it, thus eliminating the possibility of tracking the stolen vehicle. Unfortunately, it is not possible to locate the car without such equipment. The vehicle may also be vulnerable for other reasons, such as a broken tracking device or a faulty SIM card. Even configured warnings about jamming, tampering or removal might not provide enough data to recover the vehicle. This makes it an easier target for auto thieves. The security of the vehicle must therefore be maximised to prevent such actions and be a low-cost solution that extends fleet safety, and Teltonika can help make this happen. SOLUTION To solve these challenges for large fleets, we use Teltonika BASIC category legendary vehicle GPS tracker FMB920 and a Bluetooth®-based EYE Beacon . The latter is wireless, has a battery life of up to 10 years and comes with two mounting points or optional adhesive tape so it can be easily attached to any vehicle. This combination of two Teltonika devices is a sufficient and affordable way to noticeably improve fleet safety. How it works - FMB920 trackers should be mounted in all vehicles in a fleet. On top of that, EYE Beacon is hidden somewhere in the vehicle, for example in the rear, and continuously advertises its data via Bluetooth®. If the vehicle is stolen and the GPS tracker is compromised, EYE Beacon will continue to broadcast its data. When another vehicle in the fleet is in the near distance, its tracker reads EYE Beacon data of the stolen vehicle and sends it to the server and tracking platform, alerting people in charge of the situation and allowing them to pinpoint the approximate location of the stolen vehicle. As a result, fleet operators and managers can take appropriate action to recover the vehicle. It is worth noting that conventional jamming does not block the Bluetooth® signal on which EYE Beacon is based. It also comes in handy if the vehicle GPS tracker is damaged, or if there are issues with the SIM card. The solution helps companies to create an autonomous network which requires minimal human intervention and beacons do not require SIM data. It is important to note that the larger the fleet with tracking devices (for instance, delivery, taxi cabs, car hire, leasing, utility, etc.), the more effective the solution is, as there is a higher probability that one of the vehicles in the fleet will pass by a vehicle with a compromised tracker. Teltonika EYE Beacons have a range of up to 80 metres, so even if a vehicle whose tracker was stolen is further away from the street, it will still be detected. Plus, if EYE Beacon is tracked by more than one passing vehicle tracker, more precise location information will be gathered, increasing the chances of recovering a stolen vehicle faster. These accessories are affordable and easy to install, which allows effortlessly adding an extra layer of security to the fleet. They have an intuitive and easy-to-use EYE mobile app for prompt configuration, data scanning, and debugging via Bluetooth® connection. The beacon is also compatible with all Teltonika GPS trackers with Bluetooth® functionality. FMB920 firmware updates and configuration changes can be made remotely using FOTA WEB tool - a powerful software solution helping to efficiently manage Teltonika vehicle GPS trackers. TOPOLOGY BENEFITS Fleet security under control – add an extra layer of safety to a corporate fleet to prevent car thefts and locate them faster if stolen. Prepared for (un)expected – data shows that vehicle theft is still a major issue that is worth preparing in advance. Self-expanding autonomous network – fleet security is enhanced with minimal human intervention and improves with every vehicle added to a fleet. Low-cost installation – wireless EYE Beacons are affordable, ready-to-install, easy to replace when needed and last up to 10 years. Particularly effective in large fleets – the more vehicles with GPS trackers in the fleet, the more efficient the solution. Improved profitability – the solution to theft prevention and recovered vehicles help to save insurance and new vehicle costs. WHY TELTONIKA? Fleet security is no longer optional - it is essential.

Effectively improving driver’s safety by using a button of a unique easy to install vehicle GPS tracker Teltonika FMP100 SAFETY SOLUTION WITH PLUG & PLAY TRACKER FMP100 INTRO Driver safety is a common topic today. It affects all industries, and each sector has to deal with it. The challenge is even bigger when we talk about vehicles and accidents on the roads. It includes vehicle crashing, harsh braking, attacks, hijacking and anything else that is related to the vehicle. Teltonika stays one step ahead and manufactures vehicle GPS trackers that can be used for safety, too. CHALLENGE Compared to 2020, the global economic impact of violence increased by more than 10% in the last year. According to the Global Peace Index 2022 report , it was valued at $16.5 trillion, affecting not only individuals but also businesses. The profitability and productivity of every business are directly related to the economic stability of the country. The Global Peace Index correlates with the GDP, showing that businesses in developed countries make better decisions, avoid possible losses and increase their revenue faster. Contrarily, the activities located in such countries as Israel, India, Turkey or any other country with a low safety score are more likely to suffer from financial, emotional or even physical loss. In addition, it also affects the hazardous working conditions, together with the safety of employees. For example, the delivery industry meets the challenge of robberies, while the insurance industry counts the loss due to hijacking. The initiative called ‘ Arrive Alive ’ located in South Africa, states that even though women are considered to be ‘safer’ drivers, unfortunately, they have to be even more cautious and aware to avoid criminal acts against them, such as hijacking, intimidation or worse. At this point, insurance can help only to cover a part of the loss, but the question is, how to deal with it to stay safe? And, of course, speeding offences and the challenges of aggressive driving. The National Safety Council states that speeding is a factor in around 29% of all traffic fatalities, which can result in serious injuries or even deaths. To help with all that, Teltonika manufactures a variety of vehicle GPS trackers that can also be used for security purposes. Here is how... SOLUTION The vehicle GPS tracker is usually associated with basic tracking and other features that give the ability to monitor and optimise the corporate fleet.

Discover how Teltonika FTC921 GPS tracker ensures accurate tracking for e-mobility and fleet management in challenging urban environments RELIABLE GPS TRACKING FOR URBAN MOBILITY INTRO As urban landscapes evolve, so too do the challenges of maintaining reliable and accurate GPS tracking. The increasing density of tall buildings, or 'urban canyons', significantly disrupts satellite signals, making exact location tracking more difficult. This is particularly relevant for industries such as e-bike rental, where operational efficiency and customer satisfaction depend on uninterrupted GPS accuracy. CHALLENGE Tracking interference in urban areas is becoming more common. While GPS trackers are generally accurate, signal interference from skyscrapers is a growing concern. In 2023, the number of buildings 200 metres or taller increased by 16% compared to 2022, with the average height of completed buildings rising to 243.1 metres - a 3% increase from 2022. This trend suggests that tracking challenges are likely to increase as urban environments become more complex. For businesses that rely on GPS tracking data, such as transport-sharing services and e-bike rentals, signal interference can prevent vehicles from appearing on maps, resulting in missed trips and lost revenue. As location-based services continue to expand - particularly with the global e-bike market projected to grow at a CAGR of 10.4% from 2025 to 2029 - ensuring uninterrupted and accurate GPS tracking is more important than ever. Fortunately, Teltonika has just the right solution to meet this challenge.

Designed to overcome the challenges of urban canyons, it ensures accurate positioning even in environments where satellite signals are often obstructed. How it works - FTC921 has several unique features, including a high-voltage power supply of 10-90 V, which enables seamless integration with e-motorcycles, e-mopeds, e-rickshaws, and other types of electric vehicles. The tracker is also equipped with commonly used interfaces, including a Digital Output (DOUT), which is useful in scenarios where remote vehicle control is required, such as e-bike sharing services. The DOUT can be connected via a relay to block the vehicle's accelerator, disable a start button, or manage the power supply to a vehicle's engine. Such control can be achieved using GPRS commands. Most importantly, companies can track means of transport in real time with high accuracy, even in dense urban environments surrounded by skyscrapers, thanks to a more accurate GNSS module that can connect to up to 41 visible satellites simultaneously. As a result, fleet operators and managers can rely on continuous location updates to improve efficiency and customer satisfaction. For e-mobility applications, power efficiency is as important as accuracy. Rental fleets often have long standstill periods, during which traditional tracking devices can drain vehicle batteries. FTC921 is equipped with optimised sleep modes - Deep Sleep, Online Sleep, and Power Off Sleep - allowing it to save power and operate efficiently for extended periods. This ensures uninterrupted tracking without unnecessary power consumption, making it an ideal choice for electric transportation. Beyond ensuring accurate tracking and power efficiency, FTC921 includes advanced features that increase security and operational efficiency. The Auto Geofence scenario allows automatic notifications when e-bikes enter or leave pre-defined areas, enabling rental companies to monitor and manage their fleets more effectively. It ensures that assets are used within designated zones, reducing the risk of theft and misuse. The Over Speeding detection helps promote safer driving habits, while the Jamming detection scenario identifies attempts by criminals to disrupt and inhibit the performance of a tracking device. Early recognition of such threats helps prevent theft incidents and ensures that fleet operators can take action to maintain security. These features add an extra layer of control, security, and efficiency to e-mobility fleet operations. Moreover, this tracking device simplifies both setup and ongoing management of the entire fleet. Using a Teltonika tool such as FOTA WEB , telematics service providers can remotely automate firmware updates for each FTC921 installed in the fleet, ensuring that all of them are kept up to date with the latest firmware updates, security patches, further improvements, etc. Telematics Configuration Tool (TCT) streamlines GPS tracker configuration, allowing fleet managers to quickly and easily adjust settings via an intuitive user interface designed for FT platform devices. Altogether, this eliminates the need for manual intervention, minimising downtime, and operational disruption, resulting in greater business efficiency. To sum up, Teltonika FTC921 is designed to be installed in a few steps and provides reliable, high-accuracy tracking. It's the right choice for businesses looking for a straightforward, effective monitoring solution in challenging environments, ensuring smooth operations, peace of mind, and happier customers.

A comprehensive solution for delivery services utilising wide-angle Teltonika DualCam and special FMx125 series GPS trackers DUALCAM SOLUTION FOR DELIVERY SERVICES INTRO The latest shift in the global economy has triggered many changes, including online shopping behaviours and popularity that are likely to have lasting effects for many years to come. It caused a spike in demand for courier and delivery services and, unfortunately, some major concerns related to it too. To assist delivery companies with that, Teltonika has developed a thorough present-day vehicle telematics solution. CHALLENGE Did you know, according to the survey and a new report on e-commerce trends , 90% of companies in Europe and North America saw their online sales increase at least a bit, with 50 per cent of respondents claiming it grew by over 100 per cent during the global COVID-19 pandemic outbreak in the year 2020? Generating groceries, clothes, medicine demand, panic buying, rocketing subscription services and more online sales for retailers is one thing, but the lockdown and heavy restrictions have also led to things like disrupted supply chains, poorly staffed customer service, lack of delivery drivers, parcel delays, pricey mistakes, etc. Inevitably, the coronavirus outbreak has caused a burst in delivery services and couriers’ demand. Now, a great number of websites, mobile apps, and social media pages are providing all sorts of deliveries straight to the buyer’s door. Courier service providers are on the boost, servicing online shoppers who would rather not take a risk to go outside. But here comes a problem - a lack of skilled and experienced delivery drivers available for hire. In ‘ The new in-demand jobs: delivery drivers and tax specialists ’ article, the Financial Times explains that many recruiters in the UK agree the pandemic is driving demand hardest for workers who do move stuff - like drivers. This situation is pretty similar in other countries too. Even more, already recruited ones often experience hectic workloads, longer working hours, stress, and sleep deprivation leading to all sorts of challenges. Keep in mind, inadequate driving style and inappropriate behaviour will, surely, cause a fuel efficiency decrease, fleet maintenance overheads, traffic accidents and fines, loss or damage of goods to be delivered, insurance cost rise, higher medical expenses, injuries or deaths, downtimes and delivery delays, customer complaints, poor company reputation leading to fewer orders, market share loss, and shrinking profitability. What about drivers' safety then? It is a challenge, too. According to one of the BBC News reports , thousands of delivery drivers face intimidation, serious injury and even death to bring food to consumers’ doorsteps. Here to say, delivery services need to handle huge global shifts in consumption habits, customer service quality, fleet safety, and delivery capabilities. Keeping all the above in mind, Teltonika's team has come up with a practical present-day solution that greatly helps delivery and courier businesses with these significant issues. We call it Teltonika DualCam solution . SOLUTION This comprehensive solution combines the best of both - digital double-sided driving recorder Teltonika DualCam and PROFESSIONAL category FMC125 vehicle GPS tracker. A set of two must be connected over the RS232 serial port . Better yet, these FM devices can be used together with the remote FMB device firmware update and configuration tool Teltonika FOTA WEB . Please note that to use this functionality on your FMC125 or other supported trackers, you will require firmware version 03.27.00.Rev.100 or above. This vehicle telematics tracker, like any other Teltonika GPS device, has diverse well-conceived usage scenarios tracking specific events and generating their data, respectively. To tackle the driving issues mentioned above and activate DualCam, we utilise Green Driving (aka Eco Driving), Crash detection , Over Speeding detection , and Excessive Idling detection scenarios. RECORDING GREEN DRIVING EVENTS The scenario allows to setup and activate tracking of 3 vehicle parameters - ‘Max Acceleration’, ‘Max Braking’, and ‘Max Cornering’. If any pre-set value is exceeded, FMC125 tacker registers the event and sends its data to a dedicated server. After that, by sending an SMS/GPRS command from the server to the FM device, up to 30 seconds-long video relevant to this event can be requested from Teltonika DualCam accessory. A video record or photos capturing the moments of interest can be sent to the server upon demand based on pre-set time intervals. Thanks to this, whenever an event is triggered, its comprehensive information (video records, images, and vehicle-related data) will be gathered and available for timely analysis helping fleet management to assess a situation and tackle a driver's behaviour issues if necessary. RECORDING CRASH DETECTION EVENTS For this example, we set up and activate tracking of 2 vehicle parameters - ‘Threshold’ and ‘Duration’. GPS tracker can detect events ranging between a slight tapping on the device and a severe accident. If any pre-set parameter value is exceeded, FMC125 model registers the event and sends a full data packet to a dedicated server at once automatically including up to 30 seconds long video relevant to this event from Teltonika DualCam device. To assist businesses and insurance agencies even further, there are 2 configurable Crash Trace modes to choose from - 'Trace Change' and 'Trace Full'. If Crash Detection Feature events detected, their accurate and detailed set of data (including visuals) to monitor, analyse, and generate relevant reports will be available for company managers in charge and insurers involved to get a traffic accident sorted as efficiently as possible saving time and precious resources. RECORDING OVER SPEEDING DETECTION EVENT The scenario allows to setup and activate tracking of the ‘Max Speed’ parameter. As above, if the pre-set value is exceeded, FMC125 tracker registers the event and sends its data to a server. After that, by sending an SMS/GPRS command from the server to the FM device, up to a 30-second long video relevant to this event can be requested from a Teltonika DualCam. The video record or photos can be sent to the server upon demand based on pre-set time intervals. As noted previously, when an over speeding event is triggered, its data will be available for analysis assisting in getting the matter to be dealt with. To enhance its effectiveness, this detection can be combined with the Manual Geofence scenario. RECORDING EXCESSIVE IDLING DETECTION EVENTS The scenario allows to setup and activate the tracking of 2 vehicle parameters - ‘Time To Stopped’ and ‘Time to Moving’. As stated before, if any pre-set value is exceeded, FMC125 tacker registers the event and sends its data to a server. Thereafter, by sending an SMS/GPRS command from the server to the FM device, up to a 30-second long video relevant to this event can be requested from a DualCam. The video record or photos can be sent to the server upon demand based on pre-set time intervals. As above, at any time a vehicle idling event is triggered, its data will be available for timely analysis assisting in getting the matter sorted most effective way possible. As a result, now fleet management can timely gather all-inclusive data, analyse it and swiftly identify inappropriate drivers’ behaviour and improve it by taking necessary disciplinary actions, promoting safer driving, reducing accidents, fleet running and maintenance cost, improving business efficiency and drivers’ skills if required, cut corporate vehicle insurance costs, provide strong evidence in court to resolve insurance claims faster, protect drivers from crash-for-cash scams, etc. Upon demand, any event can be added from other scenarios and recorded.

An effective way to manage this issue is by implementing a performance monitoring system and prompt reporting. Fortunately, Teltonika e-forklift management solution offers just that. CHALLENGE Managing e-forklift fleets can be a complex and challenging task and there are several key challenges to consider. The average operating cost for an electric forklift can be estimated by considering various factors such as the initial purchase price, maintenance, and fuel costs. A brand-new electric forklift with standard capacity might cost between $20,000-45,000 , with an additional $2,500-5,000 for a battery and charger. One of the key challenges is ensuring that batteries are properly charged and maintained to ensure maximum uptime and productivity. This requires careful monitoring of battery levels, charging times and usage patterns to optimise battery life and reduce the risk of downtime due to battery failure. According to the study , preventive maintenance reduces equipment downtime by 30-50% and extends the life of your forklift by 20-40%. Planned maintenance may cause downtime, but it is much less expensive than unplanned one. Another difficulty is managing fleet performance and utilisation, including tracking usage patterns, identifying areas of inefficiency, and optimising routing and scheduling to reduce idle time and improve productivity. So, fleet managers need to consider the cost of tracking and maintaining equipment. It is essential to track the cost of maintenance and repairs to ensure that the fleet is operating efficiently and cost-effectively. Teltonika has to offer a practical solution that can be integrated into a wide range of e-forklifts, offering a variety of benefits.

Goods delivery tracking utilising Bluetooth® LE Teltonika EYE Beacons or EYE Sensors and vehicle GPS trackers GOODS TRACKING WITH BLUETOOTH® BEACONS AND SENSORS INTRO The shift in the global economy has triggered not only the online shopping surge and the demand for delivery services but major challenges too. To remain competitive and profitable, delivery businesses have to look for innovative and efficient solutions. Wireless Bluetooth® technology combined with process monitoring and automation opens up new horizons in the vehicle telematics industry, making a significant difference. CHALLENGE Shifting customer preferences, time constraints, unstable market prices, managing customer expectations, improper shipment handling, logistics route optimisation are the biggest challenges faced by delivery and courier companies every single day. Even more, according to BSI and TT Club Cargo report , theft of cargo in transit was the highest among all cargo thefts in 2020 - 71%. Losses from warehouses and other storage facilities increased to 25%. To satisfy market demand, stay afloat, keep customers updated and optimise everyday costs, the present-day logistics business requires not only tracking and managing vehicle fleets but also the goods being delivered - parcels, packets, pallets, boxes, livestock, food, pharmaceuticals, etc. That is why tracking proximity to identify lost and found events or monitor goods loading and unloading events becomes an essential procedure in the freight delivery industry. Sure enough, it is vital to monitor the route, track delivery time and record the last known location of goods. This optimises the delivery process and greatly reduces operational costs. In addition, fleet managers need to efficiently manage the condition of goods during transport to ensure timely delivery to the right destination. In particular, critical parameters, such as cargo temperature, humidity, and even shock detection of items. All of this data and events must be tracked, recorded and immediately sent to the fleet tracking software application if transport conditions are violated, a package is lost or delivered to the wrong address. But there is a major technical difficulty here - GPS signals often are not accurate enough to be practical indoors or in narrow streets as they diminish and scatter by surrounding structures - roofs and walls. Even more, the location error range of some GPS chips can be greater than the indoor space itself. The good news is that these challenges can be effectively tackled by utilising wireless Bluetooth® technology, brand new Teltonika EYE Beacons and/or EYE Sensors , and vehicle GPS trackers . SOLUTION All Teltonika GPS trackers based on the FMB platform support wireless Bluetooth® 4.X LE connectivity, so they can effectively communicate with Bluetooth® devices such as beacons and sensors. A tracker should be installed in a vehicle and configured the usual way in the spot where the Bluetooth® antenna is not covered by large metal parts nearby. If it is enough just to monitor delivering package location , vehicle trackers and beacons combo should be used. Alternatively, in cases where it is required to get location and additional cargo data , such as temperature, humidity, magnet detection, and movement, it is advised to use a vehicle tracker and EYE Sensor sets. How it works - for the sake of example, we use Teltonika vehicle tracker FMB140 model. The small and lightweight EYE Beacon or EYE Sensor should be attached to every delivery item to be tracked and monitored - the parcel, packet, box, pallet, etc. Because each EYE Beacon and EYE Sensor has a unique ID number transmitted over the air at configurable intervals, GPS trackers read, identify them and send this data as iBeacon or Eddystone profile, combined with its GNSS location details, to a server for analysis. Dedicated software developed by a telematics service provider identifies and displays the location of all beacons and/or sensors (i.e. tagged items) based on proximity to the nearest tracker, helps manage Bluetooth® LE accessory allocation procedures, etc. As a result, delivery monitoring is conveniently accessible via PC, laptop or smartphone, greatly improving business efficiency. To provide maximum value, these devices have two handy features to consider - 'Proximity event' and 'Filter by name'. Let's take a look at the special features of the firmware which, in combination with the new Teltonika products, EYE Beacons and EYE Sensors, make them the perfect choice for two prominent use cases in the field of goods delivery. SMART FEATURES TO STAND OUT Proximity events . The practical Teltonika GPS tracker configuration application allows choosing different settings and scenarios to satisfy company needs. Thanks to this, a vehicle tracker can generate location-related events, lost and found item events depending on Bluetooth® signal strength. Here, FMB140 can generate asset proximity events depending on Bluetooth® signal strength received from beacons. This allows determining timely and accurately each moving beacon or sensor (so, the item of interest) locations grouped into ‘Near’, and ‘Away’ zones. As a result, lists of tracked delivery items in each zone can be generated or specific event notifications can be initiated. As an example, if an item has left all trackable zones (aka 'Lost' event), a GPS device will register this fact, determine and record the last known location coordinates and the exact time of the event. All that is done to suit business needs as efficiently as technically possible. Filtering by name. This custom filtering feature allows to group and name assets by a specific attribute or property meaningful to business operations (e.g., domestic delivery items or export; top priority or low priority goods; hazardous items, damaged items, etc.). The option helps to monitor and manage items or interest sorting, warehousing, loading/unloading procedures and optimise corporate fleet use even more efficiently, this way avoiding costly mistakes, saving time, and company resources resulting in maximum efficiency. To sum up, Bluetooth® connectivity is low cost, high energy efficiency and accuracy, network independent, low interference, easy to install and use. Teltonika beacons and sensors, with configurable signal strength and data transmission intervals to meet exact customer requirements, can be easily integrated into virtually any size and shape of the environment. The overall result is significant project diversity and profitability, improved business reputation, competitiveness and return on investment. TOPOLOGY BENEFITS Customisable settings for every project - to get the maximum value out of it, Teltonika Bluetooth® LE beacon and sensor signal strength and data transmitting intervals can be configured to exact project application needs and used in, practically, any form and size buildings. Precise delivery goods location and status monitoring – 100% accountability of everything important to the delivery business - goods, valuable assets, processes, patterns, and personnel actions are being tracked, monitored, and optimised. Value-adding EYE Beacon and EYE Sensor features - abundant smart and practical event scenarios helping to track, monitor, manage and optimise cargo deliveries with outstanding efficiency. Wireless and affordable - Bluetooth® connectivity ensures fast installation and setup, low interference, power consumption and is inexpensive. If damaged, lost or stolen, Teltonika accessory can be quickly replaced. Improved profitability and competitiveness - considerable cost savings because of cutting goods, valuable asset loss expenses, anti-theft protection to boost profits, improved cash flow and investment/expansion opportunities.

Prevention of car crashes caused by bad driving behaviour using Teltonika ADAS with new visual monitoring functionality IMPROVING DRIVERS' BEHAVIOUR WITH ADAS SOLUTION INTRO Bad driving behaviour can have costly consequences. It is important to detect, assess and prevent such incidents to avoid damage to fleets, freight and people as a result of irresponsible driving. ADAS solution developed by Teltonika has been enhanced with a new visual monitoring feature - video and photo-on-demand - which significantly extends the benefits of the current solution. CHALLENGE Bad driving behaviour is defined as any driving practice that is inherently unsafe and includes speeding, distracted, careless or reckless driving. These actions may lead to forward collisions, lane departures without signalling and deliberate tailgating which are among common reasons for accidents. As a result, according to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), about 51% of all fatal commercial motor vehicle accidents are caused by unexpected lane departures or failure to signal properly. In addition to that, around 20% of fatal truck or lorry crashes are caused by non-compliance with speed limits, which is costly for companies in the event of an accident. The average cost of a commercial fleet crash is $70,000 which can be a substantial expense for a company budget. It is essential to be able not only to detect and prevent car accidents but also to establish continuous improvement to avoid such circumstances in the future. Sadly, laws around the world that impose legal requirements on drivers to prevent driver misbehaviour are not yet 100% effective. For instance, there are around 15.5 million trucks in operation in the U.S. with almost 415,000 reported commercial crashes which clearly indicates the gap that is in the interest of the fleet owner to fill in. The adoption of additional tools and processes to complement legal requirements will benefit the company by reducing significant costs, time, and efficiency losses. With the right tools, the right challenge data and the right solutions, continuous improvement helps to boost company productivity and efficiency. Teltonika has therefore taken into account the needs and preferences of existing and potential customers to meet the need for a solution and has implemented a visual monitoring functionality in its Advanced Driver Assistance System , also known as ADAS. Now it combines all previously implemented ADAS features with video/photo-on-demand functionality to provide much-needed visual evidence . SOLUTION The solution consists of a windscreen-mounted ADAS and a PROFESSIONAL series vehicle GPS tracker FMC650 , connected via an RS232 serial port. The tracking device has an additional RS232/RS485 serial port and a 2X10 socket, allowing it to expand corporate fleet monitoring capabilities. Even more, the model can use multiple LLS sensors, an additional 3 analogue inputs, 4 digital outputs for a relay, starter and engine control, as well as CAN bus data reading. The combination of FMC650 and ADAS creates a solution that provides fleet management with the right tool for acquiring visuals from the events. The event is being mapped, therefore firstly requested photo may determine the relevance and necessity of the video material, saving time and money for unnecessary data usage. This solution allows accessing photo and video materials remotely based on the specific accident, location or time. The data from FMC650 and ADAS might be extracted with graphical evidence along with necessary information about cargo and vehicle state tight to it. For instance, requesting a photo in case of an unidentified geofence breach. The solution gives an opportunity to combine data, analyse the patterns across the fleet and implement changes that will increase company efficiency. Identification, prevention and implementation of continuous improvement might be some hefty tasks. However, ADAS range of functionalities creates a perfect tool to use for the correct solution. Improvement of actual, not theoretical problems within an organisation is important and more efficient. The fact is that data gathered from real-life and in-company situations is more useful than the use of general business-related videos and photo examples for training purposes . Brand new ADAS video and photo on-demand functionality can be also configured for periodical photo sending or video/photo transmission by a trigger. Various events of interest of bad driving and its exact location are identified, sent and stored in the server throughout the process of driving. The new ADAS visual monitoring functionality opens the possibility for a fleet manager to receive photos after the configured trigger and have the option to request a short video for up to 30 seconds for more visual data (20 seconds before the event, 10 seconds after the event). The visuals are mapped and stored for further analysis that can be used for the creation of a continuous improvement training package . ADAS systems prevent up to 40% of car accidents and up to 29% of fatal accidents. With the additional benefit of visual monitoring functionality, the implementation of continuous improvement is more efficient and personalised. Many researchers like Robin H. Kay, 2012 , Wen-Jung Hsin and John Cigas, 2013 , Brent R. Stockwell, 2015 have examined, evaluated and confirmed the positive effect of video materials as a source of learning. Therefore, an additional feature of ADAS solution helps to present the fleet manager with evidence of the event of interest that is further used for the evaluation, training and contribution towards training packages within the fleet management system. All in all, inappropriate driving behaviour can lead to costly consequences, which is why it is important to prevent it in the company fleet as much as possible. The brand-new ADAS functionality, which allows requesting a video or photo based on the events or time interval of interest, provides graphical evidence of such cases for evaluation, training and evidentiary purposes. For example, a photo will be sent immediately if there is a potential accident, or if it actually happens. So, if additional video evidence is needed, the fleet manager can also request it. Video material will not only be used as proof of the occurred event to the insurance company, but also for analysis by the company to prevent similar situations in the future. Analysing videos and photos can help you design training packages for continuous improvement, including motivational and bonus systems that increase company efficiency and help prevent future accidents. TOPOLOGY BENEFITS Prevention of bad drivers’ behaviour – the combination of FMC650 and ADAS allows precise location tracking, detailed vehicle statistics and graphical representation of the event to prevent future accidents. Graphical evidence of an event – short videos or photos of the events can be sent to a server for further evaluation, evidence, and archive. Car accidents may be reduced in the future – the use of graphical evidence helps to uncover unforeseen situations, reducing the likelihood of the same situations happening again. Pattern establishment – more efficient analysis of common fleet errors using video. Implementation of continuous improvement – accurately detected problems and correctly created solutions help to increase company efficiency, effectiveness, and profitability. Relevant materials for training purposes – higher effectiveness of training materials due to relevant use of materials. In-depth analysis of the event – a useful tool for an investigation of an event that occurred. It is important to understand and evaluate how specific situations happened and how to avoid them in the future. Flexible configuration to the project needs could bring added value to the company. Individually configured triggers or events of interest can be recorded for the specific needs of clients. SUCCESS STORY A fleet operator in Belgium avoided a serious accident thanks to an advanced video telematics solution built on Teltonika’s FMC650 tracker and ADAS camera. When a nearby vehicle began speeding and weaving dangerously between trucks, the fleet driver was forced to brake sharply. The solution instantly detected the harsh braking event, classified it as severe, and automatically requested a video recording. The footage clearly showed the reckless behaviour of the other driver and was later featured in national media, sparking public discussion around road safety. Developed by a long-term Teltonika partner, the system was built to operate entirely without manual input. Once an event was detected, the video was sent directly to the server, and a fleet manager received an email notification. This fully automated process ensures that critical incidents are documented and shared in real time. The ADAS camera played a vital role in capturing clear visual evidence, helping operators gain greater visibility into road events and protect their drivers against false liability. WHY TELTONIKA? Teltonika is at the forefront of advancing driver safety with our forward-thinking ADAS solutions. Our commitment to innovation is evident in the video/photo on demand feature, which enhances real-time monitoring and response to driver behaviour.

Learn how the Teltonika DSM solution can help prevent accidents and improve fleet and road safety. Explore its features for efficient driving PREVENTION OF ACCIDENTS WITH TELTONIKA DSM SOLUTION INTRO Every road user needs to be aware that their behaviour and actions have a huge impact on their safety and the safety of others. Distraction is still the main cause of many road accidents resulting in serious injuries, fatalities, and cargo damage. Teltonika has developed a new DSM solution with visual monitoring capabilities to ensure driver concentration and self-control while driving. CHALLENGE Most people accept fatigue as a normal part of their busy lives. Tiredness rarely prevents us from carrying out our daily tasks, so we do not assume that it should stop us from driving. Unfortunately, driving while tired can be a fatal mistake. A tired person cannot function at their best; vision, judgement and reaction time are all impaired. If you experience these minor impairments while driving, you are much more likely to be involved in an accident or collision. A driver does not necessarily have to fall asleep at the wheel to be injured or killed as a result of driver fatigue. According to the Driver Fatigue in European Road Transport Report (2021) , 24% of bus and coach drivers and 30% of lorry drivers said they had fallen asleep at the wheel at least once in the previous 12 months. 8% of bus and coach drivers and 11% of lorry drivers had fallen asleep over three times in the previous 12 months. In addition, if a person is distracted by smoking or using a mobile phone while driving, they may not be able to concentrate on what is happening on the road. In 2021 alone, an estimated 19,800 people will die in road accidents in the EU. Reducing these critical figures is vital for all of us. EU Transport Commissioner Adina Vălean said: "At the EU level, through funding, legislation and education, we will try to contribute to the 'safe system' of safer infrastructure, safer vehicles, safer road use and better post-crash care. But this is a shared responsibility with Member States, industry and road users. Every death and serious injury on our roads is preventable". With this in mind, we strongly believe that DSM will help improve driver behaviour and provide all road users with a safer and less stressful journey. SOLUTION To improve road safety, we present Teltonika DSM driver monitoring solution. The windscreen-mounted camera works with PROFESSIONAL category device FMC650 via an RS232 serial port connection. Teltonika DSM includes several built-in warning conditions: drowsiness, yawning, distraction, smoking, phone use, and unbuckled seatbelt. The solution also recognises the driver's face, stores up to 990 driver IDs, and identifies who is on board. The system uses deep learning algorithms to perform face recognition in various driving conditions, including bright sunlight, nighttime, and when the driver wears a mask or hat. It detects and calculates head position (x, y, z), face direction (yaw, pitch, roll), and eye and mouth opening or closing. How it works - all of these integrated safety warning systems are designed to prevent potential road accidents. By offering advanced technologies that alert drivers, fleet managers can track and monitor various events. Teltonika DSM immediately alerts the driver with an audible warning. Once the camera detects alarming events inside the cabin, FMC650 tracks them and sends the relevant data to the dedicated server for timely monitoring and further analysis. Fleet owners can obtain photo and video evidence for future investigations. Of course, all driver actions have different levels of risk and can influence many causes of car accidents, but here we focus mainly on two key driver activities on the road - those they cannot control, such as falling asleep, and those they do on purpose - smoking or using a mobile phone, and so on. Let's look at each of these in more detail and see how DSM helps to address them. Driver fatigue is widely recognised as a major risk factor that reduces road safety and poses a threat not only to the driver but to all road users. Because fatigue is defined in different ways, some drivers are unaware of its symptoms and may not even realise they are fatigued until an accident occurs. With this in mind, we would like to point out that DSM sends a voice warning if the driver closes his eyes for a certain period or if the driver closes his eyes again within 30 seconds. In addition, if the driver yawns twice for 3 seconds within 1 minute. Driver conscious actions: Seat belt. Failure to wear a seatbelt is the second biggest cause of death on the road, after speeding and before drunk driving. An EU road safety study concludes that measures to promote seat belt use could save up to 7,300 lives a year in the EU! Since 2006, seat belts have been compulsory in all vehicles throughout the EU. However, it is very important to use this escape among drivers and implement tools that will guide them to always use seat belts. Teltonika DSM solution will give a voice signal every time the driver doesn't fasten the seat belt while driving over 10 km/h. Using a mobile phone. Driving safely requires your full attention. Using a mobile phone while driving is very dangerous because it takes the driver’s attention away from driving. The main negative factor associated with using a mobile phone while driving, whether hands-free or hand-held, is the diversion of attention from driving to the conversation itself. Teltonika DSM solution warns the driver if he is talking on the phone for a certain period (every 30 seconds). Smoking. It is not illegal to smoke and drive. However, many companies have their policies on this and most prohibit smoking in the car as it leads to distracted driving or inability to control the vehicle, which can lead to imprisonment. The DSM camera can detect and warn the driver if he smokes for a certain time (2-4 seconds intervals). The fleet manager can analyse how often all these actions occur and how this affects the driver's safety while driving - all events of interest are sent to a dedicated server for timely and comprehensive analysis by the fleet manager. This ensures 100% accountability, detailed and solid evidence of driver behaviour on the road. With the DSM solution, this data can be used to motivate drivers and ensure a much safer, less distracted and more environmentally friendly journey. TOPOLOGY BENEFITS Road accident prevention - keeps drivers accountable, disciplined, and safe. Constant tracking and monitoring of vehicle events along with an appropriate motivation system will promote desirable driving habits and improve the company’s reputation. It will help keep the driver’s focus on the road, leading to a much safer and accident-free journey. Instant and distinct notifications – a driver will receive an audible alert via a camera displayed in front of him/her whenever an event is detected. This keeps the driver’s mind on the road and hands on the wheel. Automated, hassle-free driver and event tracking, recording, monitoring, notification, and management - accurate and timely event data transfer to a dedicated fleet management server using DSM accessories and Teltonika GPS tracker features. Improves road safety and significantly reduces the risk of injury or death by preventing inappropriate behaviour and costly errors. Comprehensive DSM solution functionality to meet the needs of corporate fleets - flexible configuration for a project or business need, an impressive range of intelligent alerts and on-demand practical detections to optimise fleet management, reduce running costs, road accidents and fines, medical and insurance costs and significantly improve ROI. Improves employee discipline, desirable vehicle usage habits, and work ethics - constant tracking and monitoring of routine fleet driver events, combined with an appropriate motivation system in place, will improve the company's reputation, and optimise a workflow and its running costs. SUCCESS STORY #1 Reckless driving is one of the main causes of road accidents in Colombia, with specific behaviours, such as speeding, drunk driving, distracted driving (e.g., using mobile devices while driving), and failure to obey traffic laws significantly increasing the risk of road accidents. To address this major concern, one of our customers is improving the safety of its fleet by implementing Teltonika DSM and FMC650 vehicle trackers in the country. By providing real-time monitoring and alerts, such technologies could help keep drivers focused and accountable on the road, ultimately reducing the number of accidents. By integrating end-to-end driver monitoring technology, our client helped fleet managers detect fatigue and distraction and send instant, real-time alerts to prevent accidents. Working with a multinational company, they ensured that Teltonika's video telematics devices were installed before the trucks left the factory so that the vehicles were fully equipped from day one. This solution has noticeably reduced safety incidents, improved fleet visibility, and promoted a culture of responsible driving. SUCCESS STORY #2 Companies operating large fleets in Saudi Arabia, Neom region, struggled with time-consuming compliance checks, aiming to adhere to local traffic safety regulations. The goal was to ensure drivers followed safety rules, such as proper seatbelt usage and distraction-free driving. This required manual inspections, which increased operational costs and created bottlenecks. Moreover, with no way to monitor driver compliance between checks, fleet owners were in a constant visibility gap. To solve this challenge, a Teltonika partner deployed FMC650 trackers paired with Teltonika DSM cameras. When the cameras detected dangerous driver behaviour, such as seatbelt violations, mobile phone usage, or smoking, the system immediately issued audio alerts while automatically transmitting photo and video evidence to fleet managers. The technology encouraged drivers to maintain consistent adherence to guidelines, as footage became a tool for evidence-based performance reviews. With manual inspections eliminated, operational expenses have significantly decreased. WHY TELTONIKA?

Continuous network connectivity for transport businesses with the Teltonika Global Connectivity Solution Auto Top-Up feature CONTINUOUS NETWORK CONNECTIVITY WITH AUTO TOP-UP FEATURE INTRO Many transport businesses are regulated by governments worldwide. For example, lorries must be equipped with digital tachographs so that the data is sent according to a schedule; E-TOLL, modern toll collection solutions, are governed and electronically charged. Reporting is being digitised and made mandatory at the government level. Given this, measures should be put in place to facilitate the ease of data transfer and ensure its stability. CHALLENGE As most transport and logistics companies are controlled by public authorities, fleet owners are required to submit digital tachograph charts regularly based on strict rules. Failure to submit data on time will inevitably result in heavy fines. According to the UK government website GOV.UK , the maximum fine for failing to do so can reach up to £10,000 and as much as 2-year imprisonment! In the case of E-TOLL, a GPS tracker sends information on the location of a vehicle, the data is processed in the payment collection system, and a local National Revenue Administration automatically taxes the vehicle or fleet owners respectively. For example, if the data is not submitted on time in Poland, a car owner has to pay a fine, which starts at €300 per violation, as stated on the Ministry of Finance website etoll.gov.pl . But what happens if the data is used up or the mobile network SIM card expires? Of course, the tracking device will be disconnected from the GSM network and no data will be sent at all. Consider this situation – a day-long queue of vehicles is formed near a customs gate. By the time a lorry crosses the border, the data volume may be already depleted or the SIM card plan may have expired, and a fleet administration has not received automated notifications of such events and remains unaware of the situation. Consequently, the lorry driver may not download the digital tachograph data on time which could result in hefty fines for the fleet owner. Going further, logistics, utilities, and delivery services are often on duty at the weekends, when administration personnel or managers in charge may have a day off. This could mean that nobody reads (or has access to) the relevant system notifications. If all the SIM card data is used up by, let’s say, Saturday evening, there possibly will be no one to top up them manually. Once again, vehicle GPS trackers will not be connected to a network and will not be able to transmit either tachograph data or transport of interest location and journey whereabouts to servers of the E-TOLL payment management system. The office administration may not realise the gravity of the situation until the upcoming Monday, and, in many cases, it will already be too late to avoid penalties. Fortunately, Teltonika Telematics has a practical solution to help corporate fleets avoid such needless fines and ensure that the SIM cards of GPS trackers are always connected to the GSM network. SOLUTION Every single Teltonika vehicle GPS tracker has a placeholder for a plastic (regular) SIM card or the possibility to install an eSIM module. The SIM card or eSIM is a part of Teltonika Connectivity Solution and is used to connect to mobile networks, and the GPS device will be able to send and receive data to and from locations covered by the data plan. For example, Teltonika Global Plan currently allows you to prevent roaming costs in 134 countries around the world and uses the same amount of data anywhere. But the fact is, any data plan has a limited number of megabytes, and if they are used up, a GPS tracker loses access to the mobile network. How it works - to keep SIM cards up and running continuously without physical and manual interference, we offer the convenient and practical Auto Top-Up feature. As the name implies, when properly set up, this function automatically renews the same data plan under the same conditions when the remaining amount of data has been used up to a specified limit. Thanks to it, fleet managers and business owners will not run into trouble if a SIM card plan data is nearly used up, or the expiration term is around the corner but a person in charge has missed all the notifications, is off duty, or simply forgot to top up the plan timely. Please note that the mobile top-ups themselves need to be purchased in advance so that they can automatically top up SIM cards of GPS trackers mounted on vehicles. To get ready to use the Auto Top-Up feature, please contact your Teltonika Sales Manager at your convenience. Handily, any number of top-ups can be purchased in advance, so fleets of any size will not be short of connectivity options.

Green driving solution offer an environmentally responsible option for businesses and individuals to minimise their carbon footprint and save resources GREEN DRIVING SOLUTION INTRO The world's growing population and the development of new technologies are contributing to an increase in transport use - more vehicles are needed to move people and goods, and businesses such as car-sharing services, food delivery platforms, and e-commerce are emerging and expanding. Meanwhile, driving style is one of the factors that has a direct impact on fuel consumption and vehicle life. If managed well, the costs saved can be used to strengthen a company and its competitive edge. CHALLENGE We all have our own driving style and do not always think about how this affects fuel consumption and vehicle maintenance. Aggressive acceleration, hard braking, cornering, and overspeeding are not only dangerous for the driver but also for other road users. In addition, these instances of inappropriate driver behaviour result in operating costs that could otherwise be avoided. Inefficient driving produces more exhaust emissions, increasing the negative environmental impact on our planet. Making cities greener is a serious challenge facing countries around the world. The safety of people and goods is also an important aspect that must be considered and given top priority. So, how can Teltonika products help improve our driving style, encourage driver discipline and reduce pollution? SOLUTION Green Driving functionality is available with every Teltonika GPS tracker and can be applied to various industry needs. Insurance companies usually apply this scenario in their applications with FMx880 series devices, while FMx130 series vehicle GPS trackers, together with the Green Driving scenario, are widely used in the car-sharing industry. However, for beginners in telematics, we recommend using FMx920 series of vehicle trackers to experience the benefits of the Green Driving solution. How it works - thanks to this functionality, GPS trackers collect data on acceleration, braking, and harsh cornering and send it directly to a server. This information is analysed immediately and, if the values received are outside the set thresholds, the device sends a command to the LED or buzzer connected via DOUT, warning the driver that he or she is driving inefficiently. In addition, all devices with the FMB BASE firmware 03.29 offer an additional function on the FMB configurator , which allows threshold values to be calculated automatically according to the specifics of a vehicle. Thanks to this, there is no need to worry about the values to be set for the Green Driving scenario, as Teltonika provides recommendations with this calculator, saving business partners time and simplifying the configuration process in general. What is also important, there are two sources for Green Driving operation – GPS data and accelerometer. The desired one can be selected in the FMB configurator. Such data is fairly reliable and requires no extra effort to make it work. On the other side, accelerometer data is more precise and ensures uninterrupted operation even when a GPS signal is not available, for example, in tunnels or underground parking lots. However, to utilise accelerometer data correctly, the device has to perform an autocalibration process, which is automatic, as the name implies but may take some time. Read more about the use case technicalities here . To further motivate drivers, it is possible to evaluate their driving performance and allocate salary or bonuses accordingly. The Green Driving solution is a very good example of how modern technology can not only help develop business but also improve road safety and reduce the negative impact on our planet. TOPOLOGY BENEFITS Reduced running costs - saving fuel, tyres, and suspension through improved ride quality. Longer vehicle life - keeping your fleet in good condition by reducing aggressive or sporty driving. Increased road safety - less harsh manoeuvring means safer roads. Reduced exhaust emissions - smooth acceleration and manoeuvring reduce engine load and therefore fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. Improved cargo safety - responsible driving reduces the risk of damage to cargo. Simplified configuration - setting recommended values of acceleration, braking, and cornering values for specific vehicles to ensure the best performance of the scenario. WHY TELTONIKA?

Compact, robust, easy-to-install Teltonika FMx880 series GPS trackers for insurance companies and corporate fleets TRACKERS FOR THE INSURANCE TELEMATICS INDUSTRY (JP) INTRO Most car crashes worldwide are caused by driver errors and undesirable behaviour, leading to significant issues for businesses, road users, law enforcement, and society, costing billions annually. To address this issue, Teltonika's telematics division has developed and manufactured sophisticated GPS trackers with a unique feature set, dedicated to insurers and corporate fleets. CHALLENGE According to Statista , the global Motor Insurance market is expected to continue to grow significantly over the coming years. Many fleet owners, insurers, and traffic police are familiar with unwanted driver behaviour. Nearly all car crashes result from driver error. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration , “94 per cent of serious crashes are due to dangerous choices or errors behind the wheel.” To understand the problem, the World Health Organization reports that around 1.19 million people are killed on roads globally each year, with more than half of those fatalities being pedestrians, motorcyclists, and cyclists. Fraudulent insurance telematics claims are also a major global issue. In 2023, Japan uncovered 65,000 fraudulent claims submitted by Bigmotor, while the United Kingdom detected 45,800 fraudulent motor claims, worth £501 million. There is a clear demand for solutions to reduce insured losses, presenting a significant business opportunity. As one of the industry leaders, Teltonika's telematics division is committed to preventing injuries, deaths, and financial losses through IoT technology. Here’s how we make a difference. SOLUTION By utilising telematics-based products, insurers can reduce common risks associated with insuring drivers, leading to fewer claims and higher profits. When a vehicle is equipped with a GPS tracker, it transmits the vehicle's geographical location, average trip speed, driving style details (e.g., aggressive acceleration, braking, cornering), traffic violations, accident data, and more. This approach provides actionable feedback, enabling both insurers and drivers to adopt safer driving practices. It benefits both parties, creating a win-win situation for businesses, road users, law enforcement, and society. Teltonika's telematics team has designed and developed the FAST & EASY category insurance telematics trackers. FMC880 and FMM880 models have been rigorously tested to meet industry standards. These vehicle GPS trackers are ideally suited for usage-based insurance (UBI), including services such as pay-as-you-drive (PAYD), pay-how-you-drive (PHYD), manage-how-you-drive (MHYD), first notice of loss (FNOL), claims processing, accident reconstruction, and more. FMx880 series GPS devices feature advanced crash detection capabilities. Modifications of these models with gyroscope data provide detailed 6-axis motion analysis specifically tailored to the needs of the insurance industry. The models are specifically dedicated to the insurance industry, keeping its unique requirements, extensive market research, and best practices in mind. Let's explore some key features and benefits that make it unique. Crash Detection and Crash Trace : Thanks to the accelerometer and gyroscope features of Teltonika FMC880 and FMM880, insurers can obtain highly detailed crash event data. With linear acceleration (from accelerometers) and angular motion (from gyroscopes), a more complete picture of the vehicle's dynamics is captured using six axes during a crash. The 400 Hz output data rate provides frequent samples for accident reconstruction, which can be used to create tables with coordinates, force or speed changes, various graphs showing changes along the X, Y, and Z axes, and angular speed measures around these axes. Impact points can also be calculated, marking the side and direction of impacts. These data protocols can be provided by the insurer's own software or by Telematic Service Provider platforms . Instant tracker Unplug Detection : This feature, combined with an internal battery, prevents attempts to compromise data transmission. Additionally, thanks to its compact size, slim shape, and powerful antenna, this GPS device can be used as a secondary hidden 'backup tracker' to ensure effective stolen vehicle recovery, even if the primary tracker is disconnected or tampered with. Improved GNSS tracking and robust protection : Equipped with the largest-in-class internal GNSS receiver featuring L1 and L5 dual-band, these trackers provide high accuracy in tracking. They allow direct mounting on a car battery under the bonnet, with installation taking under five minutes, without requiring dedicated professionals. The robust IP65 casing ensures the devices withstand harsh weather and freezing winter conditions. TOPOLOGY #1 Driver scoring (aka driver behaviour analysis): Based on data provided by FMx880 series trackers, insurance agents can calculate policyholders' scores (e.g., dangerous manoeuvres, vehicle usage patterns, environmental impact) and adjust tariffs accordingly. This way, responsible drivers pay less, and reckless drivers are charged more, helping to improve the company's loss ratio, financial performance, and individual driving habits. The driver scoring method is also ideal for corporate fleets. When implemented correctly, this method will improve fleet personnel's driving style and safety, reducing risky behaviours, accidents, repairs, maintenance, and operational costs.
