OVERVIEW
AutoMonitor is a complete vehicle condition monitoring system, which incorporates four
technologies in one product. The AutoMonitor contains a digital tachograph that monitors the
activities of drivers. One of the main purpose of a tachograph is to urge drivers to take adequate
rest after prolong hours of driving. The wellbeing of drivers gets compromised if the driver does not
take regular break hours. The AutoMonitor also has an integrated vehicle rollover detection
system that predicts an impending rollover situation and provides a feedback indication to the
driver via the provided driver aid equipment. AutoMonitor comes with a GPS Tracking system that
lets the owner monitor and track vehicles online in real-time. The health monitoring aspect of
AutoMonitor monitors vehicle performance such as the performance of a shock absorber and
brakes. Additionally, the AutoMonitor can also monitor engine diagnostic codes via CAN Bus.
Figure 1 provides an overview of the AutoMonitor system.

2.2 Driver Aid
The driver aid unit indicates rollover state of the vehicle. When the vehicle is safe and stable,
where the rolling-over probability is little, the driver aid displays green light. When the vehicle’s
rollover state is above the safe zone but below the critical zone, an amber light is lit as warning.
When the vehicle has approached the critical zone of rolling over, a red light is lit to indicate the
vehicle is about to rollover unless slowed down and handled safely.
The driver aid unit also contains a speaker which sounds audible alarms when the vehicle’s
rollover state is not in the safe zone. The audible alarm can be switched off through the settings
menu under audio section.
The driver aid unit should be mounted on the dashboard, where drivers can see it clearly without
any distraction to the driving style.
Note: Driver aid unit will flash all three LED lights if there is a communication problem
between the dashboard unit and the rollover sensor.

2.3 Rollover Sensor
Rollover sensor module constantly monitors the motion of the vehicle and determines whether the
vehicle is in the safe state or it’s approaching the rollover situation. The rollover sensor module
also performs other tasks such as brake performance monitoring and shock absorber performance
monitoring. The sensor should be mounted close to the rear axle, at the middle of the vehicle. The
connector plug on the rollover sensor should face forward. The sensor should be mounted as
horizontal to the ground, where the bottom of the sensor should face the ground.
Once the sensor is mounted on the vehicle and the connector plug is connected to the dashboard
unit, the service personal should verify the connectivity and also check the orientation angle. If the
vehicle is standing flat, the dashboard unit should display the orientation angle for pitch and roll
axes as close to zero as possible.
Figure 5: Rollover sensor module.
2.4 Motion Sensor
Motion sensor (tacho sensor) measures speed and distance travelled by a vehicle. The tacho
sensor is mounted in the gearbox, where it picks up revolutions of gear output that are used to
measure distance travelled by the vehicle and its current speed.
Figure 6: Motion Sensor module.
2.5 Calibration
AutoMonitor needs to be calibrated regularly according to the local regulation. The motion sensor
and the rollover sensor both need to be calibrated by a trained workshop technician.
