About Black Box
TerraVision has joined forces with PocketPhone to develop BlackBox, a system using messaging and information packets across standard and new generation communications networks to create terrestrial tracking systems for freight carriers, fleet operators as well as remote monitoring or operation of plant.
The most commonly used system involves a vehicle being equiped with a 'BlackBox' containing a "General Packet Radio Service" (GPRS) modem, a Global Positioning System (GPS) device and data recorders (brakes, engine temp, driver etc). The position and operational data is then packeted and sent via the GPRS network to the WebVision server. This data is then accessed graphically via display modules on PC or on the web.
GPRS is the most commonly used data delivery system although CDMA or satellite communication systems can be substituted for use in remote areas.
