SOS Button

Тема: SOS Button

We are looking for a low cost SOS button for use with our GPS devices.

We have one that comes standard a very low cost option with a flat stick-on vehicle dash button that driver can press (see image).

Great for price, but as there is no visual way for driver to know that the button has activated, not the most ideal.

We we hoping others might assist in recommending an option that maybe lights up when button is activated, or something so that the driver can see that it was activated successfully.

Thanks.

Re: SOS Button

I think the best would be to send a response from Wialon. The question is: how to do it? One option would be to send
a SMS or an e-mail to the driver's (smart)phone.

Not sure what you are saying. We know how to do it, we are looking for better hardware option than we have, as per image.

I mean, the best for the driver would be to know that his "SOS" was delivered to the server. Better -  if he knows that the people have seen his SOS and are reacting on it.
But you are right, maybe it is not the option you are searching for. Sorry for "off topic" smile

Sorry, cannot assist with this one, maybe ask manufacturer, they should be able to advise. Also have a look at "messages" it might assist with showing you status change for SOS within parameters.

Re: SOS Button

There are two possible solution.

  • Provide a simple electronic relay on board the vehicle (connected parallel to the SOS button) that will turn on a light when the SOS button is depressed. There can be separate switch to turn off the relay so the light would turn off. This method has no interaction required between wialon and the hardware device.

  • Create a Custom Digital sensor in unit properties with the parameter expected as the SOS event.  Based on this sensor create a notification that will trigger an SMS action to send a Digital Out parameter to the device turn on a light , buzzer etc.

Transmission delays and server response can take a few seconds to provide feedback, therefore during an emergency situation, it is best to provide immediate feedback to the end-user. Therefore option one is best suited for such situations.

If I have missed out anything please let me know.

Best regards.
