Fleet safety improvement requires data, accountability, and consistent follow-through. Eco5 is an advanced GPS tracking device designed for real-time fleet monitoring, safety improvement, and asset protection.
Eco5 features multiple digital inputs (DINs), digital outputs (DOUTs), analog inputs (AINs), 1-Wire interface, and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), offering broad integration options. With 4G + 2G global connectivity and IP54 or IP68-rated housings, Eco5 is built for reliable performance in diverse environments.
Driver Behavior Monitoring: Eco-Drive via Accelerometer
Eco5 captures key driving behavior indicators through its built-in accelerometer:
- Absolute idling time and idling events
- Acceleration and braking values
- Cornering counter and cornering value
- Extreme and harsh brake counter
- Harsh acceleration counter
- Maximum speed and overspeeding timer
- Normal speed distance tracking
- Engine on timer
This data helps fleet managers identify unsafe patterns such as harsh braking, aggressive acceleration, or excessive idling. Accurate, responsible driving reduces accidents, lowers maintenance costs, and improves vehicle lifespan.
Jamming Detection: Stay Ahead of Theft Attempts
Eco5's jamming detection functionality recognizes when cellular signals are being jammed, a common theft tactic:
- It monitors signal strength on each channel
- If signal strength exceeds the noise threshold, it identifies the channel as disturbed
- If too many channels are disturbed, jamming is detected
- The system can trigger alerts at the fleet management platform, buzzers, or actions via digital outputs
- Once jamming ends, outputs revert to normal configuration
Tamper Alert
If someone disconnects the Eco5 device or cuts vehicle power, the built-in backup battery activates and sends a tamper alert. The system can be configured to:
- Notify fleet managers immediately
- Activate a buzzer or LED to warn the driver
- Block vehicle ignition using a relay
Geofence Alerts: Monitor Movement in Real Time
Fleet managers can define up to 250 geofences (600 points max), allowing them to establish detailed zones for operational control:
- Circular geofences (25m to 250,000m radius)
- Multipoint geofences (3 to 20 points for irregular areas)
Alerts can be triggered for entry/exit of geofences, speed conditions within geofences, and real-time actions via digital outputs.
Driver Identification and Driving Time Compliance
Eco5 supports driver registration via 1-Wire RFID card reader, iButton ID reader, and BLE Button. Digital outputs allow LED/buzzer feedback during registration and ignition blocking until an authorized driver is identified.
Conclusion
Eco5 builds safer, smarter, and more secure fleets. From detecting harsh driving to blocking theft attempts in real time, its features enable fleet managers to act proactively, reduce costs, and protect both people and assets.
