2 Cello-IQ at a Glance
2.1 Overview
The Cello-IQ device is a driver safety and eco driving application, aligned with Telematics
market evolution trends and TSP requirements to improve fleet safety and reduce fleet
operation costs.
The Cello-IQ device, which is based on the legacy Cello family of products, is one of very
few systems on the market that provides a fleet safety and ECO driving solution, while
being simultaneously ready for integration with any TSP’s SW platform with minimal
integration and development effort.
Cello-IQ was developed by Cellocator based on theoretical research and extensive field
tests, with references to common knowledge in the industry. The Cello-IQ processes and
interprets vehicle dynamics and vehicle operation patterns into safety and ECO scores for
a driver, reflecting the driver's relative level of risk, fuel consumption and emission
footprint.
Public Transportation
Fleet safety, ECO driving reduces operational costs (up to 15% reduction in fuel
consumption) and down time, and improves passenger safety

3 Cello-IQ Description
3.1 Cello-IQ Main functions
The Cello-IQ system fulfills the following main objectives:
Detects, processes, logs and reports wide set of events and/or raw data concerned
with hazardous or aggressive driving behavior (“Safety” features).
Detects, logs, reports and uploads accident events and accident raw data for later
reconstruction on the server side.
Detects and reports events which feature uneconomic and environment-unfriendly
driving in terms of fuel consumption, emission and accelerated wear and tear (brakes,
axles, engine, etc. – “ECO” features).
Provides trip statistics information which includes Eco scoring and Safety scoring
based on the information gathered and processed on-board during a trip.
Provides continuous real time, visual and audible feedback to the driver, via dedicated
“Driver Feedback Display”, regarding the risk level of his driving and hazardous /
uneconomic events identification.
Detects and reports vehicle and engine state (engine off/Engine on, Idling /
Movement) for ignition switch connection-less installations.
The real time processing results in a clear maneuver safety score and attributes,
eliminating the need for backend processing to extract maneuver severity.
The real time and on-going processing and severity scoring allows immediate feedback
to the driver; initially as a warning, and if not responded to, as a notification about a
registered violation.
Real time processing takes into account multiple parameters influencing the safety
score, such as the length of the maneuver, the max and average G recorded on the
relevant axis, the max and average speed recorded during the maneuver, the delta
between the start and end speed along the maneuver, and so on. Such multi-
dimensional processing delivers a coherent and reliable assessment of the driver’s risk
level.
Thresholds and dynamic ranges of the various influencing parameters are defined
uniquely for each vehicle category, based on statistics aggregation from hundreds of
driving hours on each category, across many different drivers. This ensures the
reliability and quality of a maneuver scoring, and score distribution among a given
drivers group.
All thresholds, ranges, severity levels, weighting factors, etc, are fully configurable in
order to comply with the needs of a specific operation or application.
Every maneuver can be reported to the backend not only as an event, but also along
with an extensive event statistics log, and/or raw data, as a function of the maneuver
type and its severity level, for replaying and further processing purposes.
On-board processing inside the device allows delivery of valuable information,
rather than data, to the server side, making the effort required by the integrator to
launch real DBM operations that much easier and quicker.

The DFD is designed to support and coach fleet drivers rather than to punish or preach to
them. It is meant to be used as the driver’s mentor for safety and eco driving, and
continuous improvement.

4.2 HW Interface
The DFD is connected to the main device through an RS232 serial connection. The DFD is
a slave device, controlled solely by the Cello-IQ. Only the initial boot and self test
operations are triggered by the DFD itself.
The DFD is powered from the main device harness and does not require a separate
VCC/GND connection. The DFD is powered only during the ‘ignition on’ state of the
vehicle.
4.3.1 Overview
The DFD was designed to provide a clear and intuitive user interface. It comprises bright
colourful LEDs and icons, visible even in a daylight environment. Icons and graphics are
used rather than text labels in order to achieve immediate recognition by the driver. The
audible interface is a combination of human voice and tones (fully configurable) for
maximum flexibility. It offers a selection of programmable languages and can support
additional languages, dialects or a male/female voice upon request.

The relative amplitude of the G forces sensed by the system is presented at any time
on the color LED bar, with a minimum refresh rate of 5Hz.
Detected aggressive driving, speeding, idling or other supported maneuvers is
indicated by a visual and/or verbal alert (configurable).
A registered event is designated by all or a subset of the following indications:
Typical tone followed by
Verbal message announcing the type of violation
Turning on the applicable maneuver icon concurrently with
Turning on the applicable severity level (Green / Yellow / Red) on the LED array for
two seconds
Whenever possible, a warning will be first delivered in order to allow the driver to
correct their unsafe / wasteful behavior. Only if a correction does not happen within
the granted grace period, a violation will be registered by the system.
4.6 Configuration
Every function mentioned in this document can be controlled by the Cello-IQ itself,
including but not limited to:
General operation on/off – whether the display is enabled or disabled
Voice level and/or mute
Tone / verbal messages on/off
LED array visual indications on/off
Icon array visual indications on/off
Driver identification feedback enable/disable
Applicable maneuver severity level to warn / report
4.7 Customization
The DFD Branding label and announcements can be customized to fit the specific
operational requirements of the service provider. The customization process is defined in
the DFD Customization document.
5 Cello-IQ Operation
5.1 Maneuvers
The Cello-IQ operates RPM sensing logic whenever enabled to identify, log, score, and
report upon occurrence of wrong gear engagements for a time longer than a predefined
parameter.
Wrong gear events are also used by the CSA for the trip ECO scoring calculations.
orientation shift with respect to the sky in order to maintain an adequate GPS signal
reception and calibration algorithms convergence.
Cello-IQ calibration will start autonomously immediately upon the first trip after
installation, and will normally last 2-5 hours (95% of installation) depending on the actual
driving scenario (for example, urban driving leads to a faster calibration than highway
driving). The calibration status is reported in every CSA status message during the
calibration process and calibration failures are also reported if convergence was not
achieved within the predefined time.
The calibration process results in the acquisition of a rotation matrix, with which every
sample from the 3D accelerometer is multiplied in order to get its “gravity-free” value.
For further information regarding the calibration process control and monitoring, please
refer to the Cello-IQ Programming Manual.
