2020: Submission of the Hera Element system

Developed by "Laboratory of smart driving" (further Laboratory) the ELEMENT ERA system integrating possibilities of ERA-GLONASS and services on the basis of telematics and Internet of Things passed tests and is ready to installation on cargo and cars. The company reported about it on November 17, 2020. During tests reliability of the applied hardware and software solutions and their full integration with an ecosystem which the Laboratory develops in cooperation with insurance companies, car dealers and car makers were confirmed.

Unlike the used modules ERA-GLONASS, the ELEMENT ERA system allows to implement fully Connected Car services – to turn the car into the device connected to network that gives additional opportunities to drivers, vehicle fleets, to car dealers and car makers.

During tests the staff of Laboratory imitated a big range of difficult situations for operation of the module and its interaction with IT infrastructure, emergency services and the systems of cars.

CEO of "Laboratory of Smart Driving" Anokhin Mikhail:

faced us quite uncommon task. Usually decision makers develop the module for ERA-GLONASS, adopting it under the systems of the car. We should have built in possibilities of ERA-GLONASS already operating telematic platform, having achieved efficiency of sharing of all technologies and services. This task is carried out, we have a ready-made solution with very attractive economic parameters. For November, 2020 we are at a stage of joint tests with car makers. Interest was shown by a number of domestic and foreign carmakers. We work integration both on passenger, and on cargo platforms.

ER'S block the ELEMENT completely conforms to interstate standards and technical regulations of the Customs union of EEU. It as any ERA-GLONASS device, provides data transmission about accidents and communication with the manager, but collects more data on road accident, including speed before collision, dynamics of braking, a perspective of blow and its force that allows to set the possible causes of the accident and it is essential to accelerate process of insurance settlement.

Thanks to connection to the Internet, the ELEMENT can collect and transfer to existence of additional senser and integration with the systems of a car of AYR in addition large volume of data on operation of the vehicle, allows to manage far off some of its functions and provides hijack protection. Among the traced parameters there are data on car routes, fuel consumption, control of geozones, control of seat belts, monitoring of faults given about maintenance and many other things.

All these opportunities are integrated by the IT infrastructure allowing to configure and use them for the needs as to drivers of privately owned vehicles which get access to all statistics and functions of the car through mobile application, and for heads of large vehicle fleets which together with the car equipped the ERA the ELEMENT purchase the customized monitoring system and security. On the basis of the analysis of the collected data of analytics of Laboratory by request of commercial clients can check different hypotheses and create the mathematical models increasing business performance. To car makers use of Big Data technologies allows to carry out the deep analysis of parameters of operation of cars, optimizing after-sale services and a quality control system.

Owners of the cars equipped the ERA the ELEMENT will have an opportunity to use the scoring model allowing to give a quantitative assessment of nature of use of the car and style of driving. Participation in programs of "smart insurance" allows clients to receive discounts for the Comprehensive insurance which on a number of models reach 80%.

Updating of a firmware of ERA-ELEMENT and adding of functions is carried out "by air" approximately the same as it happens to smartphones or other similar devices. For this purpose there is no need of visit of car repair shop.
