GPS, wireless communication, and Internet technologies to deliver a modular and
scalable mobile work force management and telematics solution for your business.
KonaWare LVM delivers immediate return-in-investment (ROI) through cost savings,
productivity gains, and reduction in fuel usage and greenhouse emission of your vehicle
fleets.
Intelligent Applications that Turn Vision into Measurable Business Results
LVM can greatly improve your customer services, cost management, utilization of mobile
workforce and asset resources, and business forecasting and planning processes.
• Real-time visibility and ability to manage the unexpected and urgent events and
avoid service and compliance problems: KonaWare LVM provides real-time and
job specific progress status, worker and asset location information, and job and
event related alerts to help you manage all the unexpected and urgent customer
requests and events to your highest customer satisfaction. Vehicle
Management module ensures you that all of your mobile assets are operating in
the most fuel and route efficient manner, and any problems or breakdowns are
immediately taken care of.
• Improvement in worker safety, vehicle usage, fuel cost savings, and vehicle
maintenance:
LVM delivers GPS-time-stamped event reports on work progress, travel routes,
driving directions, and even driving behavior patterns of your mobile operatives
in both online status displays and historical reports. These additional visibility
and management functions can dramatically improve your worker safety,
unnecessary idling, vehicle maintenance practices, and your on-schedule work
performance for your customers.
• Reduction of unnecessary, overtime, and personal miles and improvement of
productivity and service quality:
Mileage and stop reports that track driving routes, job sites and break stops help
reduce personal usage and unplanned stops and improve worker productivity
and reduce personal usage of vehicles. Performance metrics and trending
reports allow you to accurately identify service performance levels, performance
deficiencies, resource bottlenecks, and improve your resource planning and
demand forecasting.

Technical Strengths and Benefits
• Always Available. With KonaWare Shuttle and intelligent Event Broker, the in-
vehicle Onboard Computer can always operate with or without a persistent
network connection and be able to make use of the least cost wireless
communication choice between cellular network, WiFi and other options.
• Transaction Management. LVM provides guaranteed transaction flow and
minimizes traffic through a powerful rules engine that tracks all events and
provides audit trails.
• Industry Standard. LVM architecture is fully compliant with key industry
standards and support interface with major customers’ installed base of systems
to enable modular and low-cost implementation and future growth.
• Security and Management. Management all LVM system users, mobile
workers and mobile assets can be organized and managed in full compliance
and integrated with any corporate user and asset management systems,
authorization rules and authentication practices. This allows seamless interface
and access of LVM data base with any corporate business applications and data
mining operations.
• Additional Integration Options. A number of pre-built KonaWare Adaptors are
available for KonaWare partner systems or rapid custom integration, including
KonaWare SDK, Web Services and File Exchange Adaptors.
In-Vehicle Onboard Computer
The LVM vehicle onboard computer (OBC) is the industry leading programmable GPS
event generator that enables the user to define a set of advanced exception rules. It
continuous monitors and responds to pre-defined threshold conditions to time, date,
motion, location geo-fence and other input conditions. Its expandable design supports
Bluetooth, cellular and other I/O interfaces.
Technical Specification:
• Location technology: 16 channel GPS
• Accuracy: 3 meter CEP
• Communication modes: GPRS

• Operating temperature: -30°C to 65°C
• Storage temperature: -40°C to 85°C
• EMC/EMI: SAE J113
• I/O: Ignition input, vehicle voltage, 2 built-in LEDs for GPS and cellular status
• Power source: 9 – 32 v DC
• Power consumption (active): < 500 mA at 12 v
• Power consumption (sleep): < 10 mA
Operation:
• Time-position-speed-vehicle odometer event reports on a polled basis by server
and/or on a continuous report frequency basis. The report frequency is remotely
managed by the server.
• Geo-fence/geo-zone and event alerts configured by system administrator, such
as entry/exit of specific job sites, departure from assigned work areas, speeding,
excess idling, and other location and time triggered events are continuously
monitored and reported.
• All data will be reported with time stamps and odometer readings.
• Onboard computer supports configurable sleet mode operation that eliminates
any wasteful cellular network and vehicle power usage when vehicles are
parked. Daily reports can be programmable to check and ensure vehicles that
are parked for a long period of time.
• Cellular wireless communication management automatically stores event reports
when vehicle is out of coverage and forwards to service when wireless service is
available.

Sample Driver and Vehicle Status on Map Display
• Map based operative and vehicle status that provides detailed operative-vehicle
pairing, vehicle location by address and work locations, vehicle motion/stop
status, and any outstanding alert conditions requiring immediate action.
• Alert conditions are displayed on map and status detail tables and optionally
forwarded to emails, cell phones and customer’s enterprise management
positions for any required actions.
• Daily history of actual job sequence, routes, and work locations with time stamps
are displayed on map. This can be integrated and compared in real-time with
customer’s dispatched jobs to provide dispatchers a complete view of all
operative status in case of emergency assignments or need for re-assignments.
• Dispatchers can poll locations and job status information of closest worker(s) to a
selected customer site or an address for dispatching of emergency tasks.
• Through LVM integration with customer’s dispatching and work scheduling
systems, dispatched job sites and assigned routes can be geo-fenced to provide
estimated-time-of-arrival (ETA), job status indications, and alert customers who
wish to be notified of pending arrivals of services and deliveries.

• Mobile worker and vehicle reports can be accessed online any time or via
scheduled email delivery to selected email addresses.
• All LVM data, such as address locations and vehicle odometer, are fully available
and integrated with other KonaWare provided LVM feature modules such as
Hour-of-Service electronic log, Vehicle Management, and other feature modules.
• System access, authentication, and user functional and management privileges
can be readily integrated with corporate enterprise systems such as LDAP.
Reports:
Reports are historical data that can be access online or delivered to selected users on a
schedule basis. They cover all LVM tracked telematic events, trip and job activities, and
alerts, and are organized and processed to provide management information of their
business operations. LVM reports can be fully integrated with customer’s internal
business applications to provide complete planned against actual performance data.
• Worker reports include:
o Driving report that details daily mileage, driving time, average speed, and
driving segments by time and location.
o Job stop and break stop reports that detail daily stops by time, stop
duration, stop location and job sites by geo-fenced types defined by
system administrators.
o Worker activity planned versus actual summary report that provide
planned number of jobs, job time, work hour, daily miles compared
against actual job time, jobs performed, work hours, actual miles driven
and variances between planned and actuals on a group basis. This report
enables the manager to evaluate performance and productivity on a
group of drivers who share similar tasks and operations.
o Driving behavior report that summarizes and details vehicle idling,
speeding, hard braking, and rapid acceleration incidents by date-time,
locations and incident specific details such as actual speeds.
• Vehicle reports include:
o Vehicle usage report that summarizes and details vehicle usage by total
miles, average miles per day, average speed, idling time and incidents.
o Vehicle performance report that summarizes and details fuel usage by
driving, idling and vehicle power attachment (PTO) fuel usage, and fuel
efficiency details.
o Vehicle scheduled maintenance record and service reminders.
