Medha’s Remote Monitoring System is an advanced, internet-based solution designed to connect electric buses and trucks with a centralized management system through GSM and/or CDMA network communication. This system ensures real-time monitoring and management of vehicle fleets, enhancing operational efficiency and safety.

Key Components

1. Vehicle Management System (VMS): A centralized server that acts as a repository for information received from vehicles via the internet. This includes vehicle location, operational parameters, health status, fault logs, and more. Authorized users can log into the VMS to view current and historical data, analyze vehicle performance, and plan maintenance activities.
2. Remote Monitoring Unit (RMU): An on-board unit interfacing with the vehicle’s control system, GSM/CDMA communication devices, and GPS receiver. The RMU periodically sends vehicle information to the VMS and can also function as an emergency voice communication device for drivers.

Operational Features

1. Real-Time Data Transmission: Using GPS for location tracking and GSM/CDMA for communication, the RMU sends vehicle status details to the main internet server at regular intervals.
2. Web-Based Access: Fleet managers can access their fleet status details online by logging into the system with personalized credentials, providing secure access to both historical and current data.
3. Multi-Level Security: Ensures the security of vehicle information through multi-level access rights and password protections.
4. Automated Alerts: For predefined faults or conditions, the system can send alerts via SMS and email, enabling prompt response to critical issues.

Advantages

1. Reduced Maintenance Time: By providing prior information on failures and faults, the system can reduce maintenance time by over 30%, increasing vehicle availability.
2. Cost Savings: Preparedness for repairs based on real-time data can lead to a 10% reduction in maintenance costs.
3. Comprehensive Monitoring: Enables online monitoring of vehicle parameters, fuel consumption, and usage, facilitating better fleet management.
4. Data Analysis Tools: Extensive data analysis tools in the application software help in making informed decisions.
5. Critical Fault Alerts: Automatic alerts for critical faults over SMS and email ensure timely intervention.
6. Voice Communication: The system can be extended to provide direct voice communication with the vehicle driver.
7. Customizable Information: Users can set preferences to receive filtered and relevant information in customized formats.
