Frotcom enables driver identification by iButton or RFID card to unlock an immobilized vehicle, i.e., a vehicle with the ignition off and that requires a valid ID to turn the ignition back on, when the associated tracking device is configured for this behavior.
Typically in Frotcom, with the driver identification, any RFID/iButton can unlock the vehicle.
However, if you need to limit the drivers allowed to drive special vehicles, such as the ones that transport dangerous goods, heavy vehicles/machinery or vehicles that require an expert driver, preventing other company drivers from using those vehicles, Whitelists are what you are looking for.
With Whitelists, you can configure a list of allowed drivers that, by identifying themselves in the vehicle, using iButton or an RFID card, will unlock the immobilizer automatically and can, therefore, turn the ignition back ON. A Whitelist of drivers can be configured independently for each vehicle.
Besides that, the Whitelists can also be used as a way to stop the buzzer of a vehicle once it goes off. For instance, you can configure a door sensor to set off an alarm when the door of a truck is open, and only an authorized (whitelisted) driver can disarm the buzzer.
Important notes:
- This feature is available only for vehicles equipped with a GPS tracker (GV300, C4MAX, C4MAXLite), that runs the appropriate firmware version, and that you can configure a maximum of 150 drivers in the Whitelist, for each vehicle.
- Alternatively, you could configure and use the Whitelist based on Driver license restrictions. We recommend this alternative due to its optimization and also the possibility to have more than 150 drivers in the whitelist.
If you want to activate the Whitelist feature on your account, please contact your Frotcom Certified Partner.
