Securitas Alert Services (http://www.securitas-alert-services.fr), the dedicated French subsidiary of Securitas Group specialized in monitoring, and Metod Localisation (http://www.metod.com/cms/), a French company specialized in software development and location based services, chose Owasys equipment to develop a localization security system: TRUCK GUARD.
Through a localization system developed by Metod Localisation the detection system Truck Guard by Securitas Alert Services protects the cargo and ensures safety to the driver in the cabin and the trailer.
The solution is developed through the owa21A, Owasys hardware with a Linux operating system and open platform (www.owasys.com).
Specifically designed for trucks, tractors and trailers, the Securitas Alert Services solution is an important deterring tool particularly in critical situations such as theft and other emergency circumstances. The alarms work 24/7 in real time and are monitored by a high risk monitoring centre. In case of an emergency, the vehicle is immediately located and the emergency authorities can be dispatched.
The localization, together with the remote control, gives security to drivers and vehicles in any circumstance in all of Europe.
TRUCK GUARD includes the following alarms:
Panic Button for the driver,
Intrusion, by magnetic contact in the opening systems,
Truck- non authorized movement,
Alarm when the battery/energy is low,
Listen in the cabin/ two ways communication,
Working System supervision.
During 2007, the system was installed in a first phase in a fleet of trucks for high risk retail company (Tobacco).
