Telematics, Maps & Locations
Platform Science and Navistar to bring transformative Virtual Vehicle solution to more trucks Navistar and Platform Science announced Navistar’s integration of Platform Science’s Virtual Vehicle™, the open OEM platform that enables fleets to access telematics, software solutions, real-time vehicle data, and third-party applications directly from their vehicles. The collaboration provides International Truck customers with access to a customizable platform that delivers an unlimited canvas to fleets, elevating their capabilities to innovate and utilize, manage and deploy digital applications. The Virtual Vehicle platform, which Navistar will deploy beginning in 2023, offers many benefits to fleets, including: ● PRODUCTIVITY: With factory-installed telematics hardware, fleets can maximize uptime by avoiding installation delays and costs for complementary hardware. ● FLEXIBILITY: Virtual Vehicle allows fleets to create a software experience catered to individual business needs through a growing pipeline of developer-created innovations. ● ACCESSIBILITY: Virtual Vehicle leverages edge, cloud and in-dash data to optimize networks, keeping data available 24/7/365, even when fleets are offline. ● COST-EFFECTIVE: Users of participating applications on Virtual Vehicle benefit from usage-based billing
Bridgestone launches new rigid dump truck tire, real-time tire monitoring solution for construction and quarry customers at AGG1
3Dtracking integrates Teltonika ADAS into its Telematics Service Platform 3Dtracking announced the company has integrated Teltonika’s Advanced Driver
Bridgestone Americas announced it will showcase the latest in its integrated portfolio of off-the-road (OTR) products, technologies and services at the AGG1 Aggregates Academy & Expo. Demonstrating the benefits of using intelligent products backed by integrated technology solutions, Bridgestone will introduce its new 3-star 24.00R35 rigid dump truck tire and real-time tire monitoring system, IntelliTire, to construction and quarry customers. Bridgestone is launching a 3-star rigid dump truck tire as an expansion of its 24.00R35 product portfolio, a lineup specially developed for mid-sized rigid dump trucks to carry hefty loads on flat terrain, often at quarries and mines. Featuring a 3-star rating, the new 24.00R35 delivers 8% greater payload capacity along with a deeper tread depth to provide excellent tire wear and improved traction.1 Additionally, the tire provides a high resistance to cuts and heat as trucks transfer larger hauls between long distances at high speeds.

Assistance Systems (ADAS). The Teltonika ADAS solution and its road safety features are designed to prevent accidents with technologies that alert drivers of potential collisions and other driving mistakes on the road. The Teltonika ADAS camera installed on a vehicle continually monitors for and detects other vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles and lane markings. The driver receives realtime visual and sound alerts through a small monitor installed in front of the driver when potentially dangerous events are detected, including premature or unintentional lane departures, unsafe distance from other vehicles, unsafe proximity to pedestrians or bicycles, and driving over the designated speed limits.
