Mitsubishi Auto Leasing Corporation provides a telemetric
service which utilizes an image-recording drive recorder (DR)
to capture scenes of dangerous situations as well as to record
speed, trip distance, time, position and other driving data. The
DR/video camera unit is mounted at the top of the windshield in
sales representative cars, trucks and other commercial vehicles.
The camera shoots the scene in front of the vehicle as long as
the engine is running. With an inbuilt G-sensor, the DR starts
recording camera footage when the driver applies the brakes
suddenly or in other situations it judges to be dangerous. The DR
also uses an in-built GPS system to record a trip and track log.
The data is saved to a memory card, allowing the fleet operator to
use a computer and see how the vehicle has been operated.
The service is not confined to the delivery of raw data as
staff will regularly visit the customer and, on the basis of recorded
data, give advice on how to reduce accidents and to improve
operational management. Any reduction in accidents is reflected
in lower insurance premiums, while the collective management
of data helps reduce fleet fuel consumption and service costs,
so the system can be a major benefit in commercial vehicle
management. |

| Operational data, images included, is recorded to a memory card fitted to the DR. The display
at the bottom left of the screen gives detailed information on how the vehicle has been
operated, including vehicle speed, inter-vehicular distance, acceleration and deceleration and
brake use frequency. |
