How can you be sure your vehicles are being productive, secure and that the risks of fraud/theft is mitigated? How do you protect drivers and your reputation in the face of customer disputes, vehicle theft and accident claims associated with your fleet? Is your operations manager sure that drivers are taking the most efficient routes to their jobs? How long does it take for them to locate a particular vehicle? How do you currently measure and manage fleet safety? Are your drivers and vehicles as secure as they should be? How deeply are high fuel bills cutting into your bottom line each year?

Panic Button: The red panic button is installed and hidden under the drivers steering wheel. If the button is pushed for more than 2 seconds, it will then send a panic message to ROAM platform thus triggering a panic alarm and the appropriate notifications. Door Contact Sensor: This sensor is used to detect door states (open/close). A pair (as shown in the figure) should be installed for each door that is required to have its state monitored. Door Magnetic Lock: The magnetic lock is used to ensure that in the event of carjack, the criminal will have great difficulty in opening the cargo door. Vehicle Immobilizer: The immobilizer feature works by disabling the ignition circuit (engine cranking circuit). So if a vehicle is already on and in a journey

the immobilizer will not kick in until the vehicle is switched off. Upon switching off the vehicle it cannot be operational until a mobilize command is sent.
