Vehicles are a hostile environment for electronics and an unforgiving one for false alarms. Faststream builds telematics units, ADAS integration, in-cab driver monitoring and fleet platforms designed for vibration, temperature extremes, intermittent power and coverage gaps — and tuned so the people using them do not switch them off.
Position, utilisation, driver behaviour, fuel and diagnostic telemetry from the vehicle network, over cellular with buffering.
Infrared in-cab imaging for fatigue and distraction, fused with vehicle signals to keep nuisance alerts low.
Perception, warning logic and vehicle interface, with the validation that safety-relevant functions require.
Camera, LiDAR, radar and inertial data synchronised and calibrated before being fused.
NFC tank and nozzle identification with dispenser authorisation and automatic reconciliation.
Vibration, thermal, ingress and automotive electrical environment designed for rather than survived.
Supply voltage that dips during cranking and spikes on load dump. Temperatures from well below freezing to what a black dashboard reaches in direct sun. Continuous vibration that finds every marginal solder joint and connector. Ingress from washdown, condensation and dust. Cellular coverage that disappears in tunnels, underground car parks and rural gaps.
None of that is exotic, but all of it has to be designed for rather than discovered. A telematics unit that resets on cranking loses a trip. One that resets on cranking every morning loses the customer.
Position and motion from GNSS and inertial sensing, and engine, fuel, diagnostic and driver-input data from the vehicle network over CAN or OBD, subject to what the manufacturer exposes. Coverage across a mixed fleet is a specific engineering task rather than a given.
By buffering on the device and forwarding when coverage returns, and by evaluating alerts and geofences locally so they still fire without a network. Where continuity is required across long gaps, a satellite fallback carries the essential messages.
Nuisance alerts. A system tuned for maximum sensitivity alarms on every mirror check, so drivers defeat it or stop responding. Fusing vehicle context with driver observation and tuning for precision is what keeps a system in use.
Tell us the specification, the constraint and the deadline. Programmes that cross silicon, radio, embedded and AI are where Faststream is strongest.
