Defending Our Nation Using Trucks and Solid Communication Strategies - May 30, 2007

Perhaps you are unaware of the American Trucking Association’s Mobile Watch Program. The strategy enlists truck drivers and transportation companies to keep a watchful eye out for bad guys, evil doers and international terrorists. And guess what? It is working.

But that is not all the Trucking Industry is doing to protect our nation, we now have Satellite Shut off Systems for tanker trucks. If a truck is hijacked then the truck is shut down in route, preventing disaster and that truck is stopped and cannot be used as a truck bomb. The Department of Transportation has also instituted additional checks before issuing Hazardous Materials CDLs.

There are also now more technologies being put in at Truck Scales such as high-tech sensors. The US has ramped up its Border Checks to prevent smuggling of weapons, illegal aliens, narcotics or contraband from entering America. Stopping a Truck Bomb is the goal and it is taken seriously at our borders and by implementing stringent US Port Security to track Truck Cargo Trailers.

Communication Systems

Thanks to the use of Radios and Transponders, along with Modern GPS the authorities are using a synergistic approach to policing our Highways and protecting our citizens. Truck Drivers are also enjoying the use of modern communication systems to stay in touch with family and business contacts using Truck Stops and WiFi.

New Technologies with “In Motion Internet Access” are getting cheaper and now many cell phones can contact the Internet too. Meanwhile dispatchers can keep in contact with all their trucks using Real-Time Virtual Dash Boards. And lets not forget the 3G , 4G and Promises of 5G Cell Phone. All this and more is on its way, as modern trucking is working hard to protect us and remain efficient too.

Airbag SDM ‘Black Box’ Crash Data Retrieval Information for GM Cars -

The benefit of retrieving data from flight data recorder using the Black Box was only available to airlines for many years. This invaluable instrument, which helps determine what happened in the critical time before a crash, is now available as Airbag SDM crash data retrieval system on GM cars.

In response to the call of the National Transport and Safety Board (NTSB) in 1997 that vehicle manufacturers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration team up to gather information on vehicle crashes using on board collision sensing and recording devices, General Motors expanded the data downloaded to permanent memory in the air bag sensing and diagnostic module at deployment or in a near deployment collision.

The capability to record pre-crash data has since expanded with time and technological advancement. General Motor’s Vetronix crash data retrieval tool (CDR) collects vehicle crash data via the air bag system SDM.

General motors together with Vetronix Corporation developed the Vetronix CDR System, which downloads the data stored in recordable airbag modules.

Software, hardware and interface cables allow recorded data such as Delta V, driver seat belt usage and pre-impact data to be downloaded to commonly used computers in easy to read format. Interface cables that connect directly to the airbag module are available for vehicles that cannot be powered up after a crash.

This new technology then also makes it easy for investigators to input other vital information, like weather conditions, and send the data to a remote database. The final 5 seconds leading up to an accident event is very vital information that can be stored at the airbag SDM module recorder. This process can only be done using the Vetronix CDR equipment and a PC.

Includes most 1994 and newer Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Cadillac, GM trucks, Saturn, and Hummer vehicles have GM airbag SDM recorded data coverage.
