Hi all,
I'm looking for some input regarding a product that my company may bring to the market. I'm looking to get suggestions, ideas, and basic feedback on if you feel there would be an interest in bringing this brand to market.
Our company develops and produces GPS tracking devices for various markets. Currently we have a product that was purpose built for the refrigerated food transport business, consisting of a gps tracking device, along with multiple sensors to monitor temperature.
My thoughts are adapting this product for use in racing/ performance vehicle applications. A basic overview of the technology in a GPS tracking unit, that monitors vehicle position and relays that information over a cellular network to a web-based User interface where an endless number of customizable reports can be run.
Race teams or amateur racers can use this system to monitor various vehicle parameters in real time including:
-engine temp
-oil temp/pressure
-fuel pressure
-tranny temp
-differential temp
-air intake temp
-ambient temp
In addition, the unit can be scaled to monitor:
-engine RPM
-throttle and brake input
-G-forces (for both turns and acceleration/braking)
-virtual odometer
-engine hours
-ignition on/off
Users can choose to receive alerts in real-time for nearly any of the device inputs (such as rising diff temp, speed alerts, drops in oil pressure, etc.)
This data is pumped back in real time, and can be monitored by pit-crews, and is recorded in the UI so that you can go back and review your race.
This data is all relayed to a web based user interface in real time, that can be customized for street or specific track use. Race teams can monitor specific vehicle parameter at a specific point on a track. Reports can be formulated for pretty much anything using the data collected by the device.
Street vehicle applications would include the above, in addition to stolen vehicle monitoring (similar to Lo-Jack), Geofencing (virtual geographic boundaries), and en entire arrray of user-defined parameters.
Target price would be somewhere around $450-500 for the entire system, including first years service plan. Different options and scalability are also a target feature, and price would be depend on configuration.
This is just an idea I have been mulling over, if you guys can provide any input, positive or negative, along with suggestions I would greatly appreciate it!
*If enough interest in generated, I will be looking for racers and teams in the greater San Diego/Southern California area to Beta test the product on their vehicles.
