Start Inhibit

Many buses are fitted with an ignition Start Button that allows them to be started without using a key. While this is convenient for the driver, it represents a security risk.

To minimise the risk, GreenRoad can provide a Start Inhibit solution that uses the Dallas Key mechanism.

 

​

How does it work? It's very simple ...

​

​

​

​

​

​

 

​

01

Authorised drivers carry a Dallas Key fob, and “key in” at the beginning of their shift.

02

Once the system authorises the driver, GreenRoad sends a signal to a control relay unit, which in turn activates the Start Button for several minutes.

03

Until this signal is transmitted, the Start Button is deactivated.  

It therefore cannot be used by unauthorised individuals to start the vehicle

Note

The limit on the number of video clips is applied chronologically, based on the order in which clips arrive. The system checks each request according to your Video Download Control policy, and only allows downloads until the defined limit for the selected time period is reached.
