Product summary and evaluation draft 2

-
According to Singapore Technologies Kinetics (ST Kinetics), development of Intelligent Control Devices could prevent a fatality. This device that uses vehicle telematics, guarantee its users safety, convenience, and fleet manager. It is both hardware and software that provide real-time information from vehicles as they operate under varying conditions. The main feature of intelligent controls is Asset Management. This feature keeps track of vehicle location using Global Positioning System (GPS), voicing out directions of the destinations and alert users of any unusual traffic conditions. Only this feature requires internet connectivity, activate it by connecting to the internet. Next, the Intelligent Control Device enters the GPS cloud mapping system, the data is turned into information that transfer to the reporting management tool that estimates the position of a vehicle. Such information is important as it may prevent an accident occur. On the other hand, it could improve waiting estimation for a commuter in public transport. On top of Asset Management, ST Kinetics Intelligent Control Device able to perform drive system optimization. Drive system optimization ensure drive train efficiency under varying load and terrain condition and fuel consumption, by using Intelligent sensing mechanism to optimize transmission. The system is also versatile as the engineers could remotely upgrade the software effortlessly. 
One special function that breakthrough other vehicle telematics device is it also does reduce potential breakdowns by engine monitoring to prevent vehicle resulting to be tow and demanding commuters to ride on the next bus or train, which is so annoying and easily preventable by using ST Kinetics Intelligent Control Devices. An example to rely on Intelligent Control Device would be to think of a vehicle that was equipped with this technology, automatically triggers Collision Warning to prevent mishap and save lives. To save time from waiting in transportation, to save cost and labor from engineering maintenance. Intelligent Control Device from ST kinetics is the answer to it. It is going to be the present and the future for vehicle transportations.

An increase in demand for this product rises as casual drivers, Singapore Mass Rapid Transit(SMRT), Land Transport Authority(LTA) and Singapore Bus Transit starting to own this unit. However, ST Kinetics do have a vast amount of competitors, for example, Kinesis Telematics from United Kingdom (UK), etc. They provide telematics servicing too but at a higher cost comparing to ST Kinetics in a long-term, as it requires subscriptions to a monthly payment. Without an Internet connection, servicing program from Kinesis Telematics will be turned off, whereas only the Asset Management feature of ST Kinetics is turn off, the Intelligent Control Devices are still able to determine vehicle wellness. Moreover, a local network is more accessible and reliable compared to connecting telematics service from the UK. By evaluating this, we had a clearer picture of our objective, which is to save cost in short-term and accepting the risk of losing internet connections or by paying a little more for a unit of Intelligent Control Device that prevents an unfortunate incident from happening. In Conclusion, ST Kinetics Intelligent Control Devices outclass most of the telematics devices, and it is one of the best in the market that provide main features of vehicle telematics with special features and definitely supporting local product might be more reliable than the uncertainty from the worldwide.

Subject:  Formal Letter Writing Dear Dr.  Blackstone, My name is Chee Si Yong, a student from telematics  year one. We had communication lesson on Wednesday and it was also the first time I talk to almost everyone in the class. It was a memorable and great interacting experience. Graduating in RP with a Diploma of electrical and electronic engineering, I developed a great passion for signalling and transportation system. As an electrical student in republic polytechnic, I am trained to build circuits and learning basic fundamental in a problem based learning environment, which means I had to discuss my solution in the class. One of my favour topic would be signals and battery, which I research it in depth myself and chose it as my FYP later on in my diploma. I took on many internships at various engineering and research company. So I understand some of the technic that was apply in the field of research industry. Due to associate with people whom are enginee...

Reflection

Going through this module is definitely the most memorable one in my first semester as I get to speak more frequently compared to other modules. I learned that I had many flaws and I do not communicate to people using proper English sentences, which is causing me some hard time to get to adapt to technical communication 1010. A summary of what I had done would be, to write a formal report, Presentation, product summary in APA format. Through lessons, I have learned to paraphrase and summarise words and wrote it into my product summary to avoid plagiarism and ease of understanding my product summary. The most interesting part of this module would be to be able to deliver effective oral presentations. Recalling my first attempt, my eye contact was at the ground or my friend that I know of while presenting. This module is therefore not just a communication lesson, with a helpful team that would be willing to improve my confidence in technical communication with speaking , writing and opp...

Product Summary of vehicle tracking devices

-
Telematics technology to monitor vehicle tracking devices,had been widely known and implemented, for example in Singapore, the Singapore Mass Rapid Transit and Land Transport Authority in its transport system. In the user level of this app, this device is achieved through a combination of a GPS receiver and an electronic device installed in each vehicle, communicating with the user in web-based software such as GPS tracking application which can be easily download and use with your Smartphone. Being user friendly such device will definitely be an advantageous in many real world usage, as it’s existence ensure the safety and comfort of commuters. To reduce and better manage public transport waiting times, enhance information accuracy and accessibility, hence as this technology progress, it will better eliminates out hazard in transport, reduce bad flow of transport, and simply by being loss in anywhere in the world. As we research on to the detail engineering information for su...
