AVL Firmware & Hardware PREMIUM-FEATURESINTRODUCTION
The PREMIUM-FEATURES are extensions (APP) which are implemented in the standard FALCOM AVL
firmware version 2.11.x and higher to provide more applications and additional functionalities. Thesefeatures need to be activated before use by purchasing the corresponding unique activation keys which
are different for each premium feature and AVL device. The activation kAeys are linked to the serialnumbers of FALCOM devices and will be generated by FALCOM only. The PREMIUM-FEATURES can be
individually activated in the AVL devices during installation as well as in the AVL devices already deployed

Driving time [h]This feature uses the incoming GPS data together with user
pre-set parameters to measure the vehicle speed, harshbrakes, harsh accelerations and compute fuel consumptionand other trip information. It is designed to improve fleet
safety and reduce fleet operating costs. It detects andreports a wide set of events showing uneconomical andenvironment-unfriendly driving in terms of fuel consumption
and emission as well as the hazardous or aggressive driving
behavior. Using of this feature requires a valid configuration
stored into the AVL unit. When a trip stops, the trip data withthe detaileddriving information can be transmitted to aserver using the corresponding event.

is going to start, both (server and AVL device) use theencrypt/decrypt keys to encrypt and decrypt the data, they
send to each other.

INDEXED HISTORY
Transmitting the stored GPS positions from device to a server
can be done in one of the following modes: simple oradvanced (PREMIUM-FEATURES).
The simple mode might not be 100% accurate if the records
to be stored do not have a valid GPS fix or if the internal time
doesn‘t correspond to the GPS time.
The advanced (PREMIUM) mode adds an extra line to each
TCP packet being sent showing the number of history
records transmitted to the server. Remote server will process
the transmitted data based on the indices and find out which
records are still not uploaded.

PREMIUM FEATURES
EXTENDED-GEOFENCES

cesnefoGe
0003
This feature allows you to create up to 3000 Geofences i.e. for
Up tobus tracking and logistic projects. With this feature the AVLdevice sends an alert to the server whenever the vehicle
enters/leaves the pre-defined Geofence-Spots (for instance,bus stops). The alert text may contain different information

ExampleDriver ID:
1 - 234
Bus-Nr.:1 - 56789
Date/Time: 01.01.2014 17:03:34
Bus-Station: 493, entered
Travel Time: 1:45:24 minauch as the "bus number", "driver's name or ID", „bus stop
number“, the "driven distance", "date", "time", "positions", etc.

EXTENDED-ALARMS
ALARM CONFIG

This feature extends the number of alarms that can be
configured in the AVL device up to 250. The number of alarmsin the standard AVL firmware versions is 100. The increased
number of alarms allows you to use more alerts and thus more
flexibility and functionality of the firmware in order to meet theuser requirements.
