Televoke is a leader in the telematics services industry. Televoke provides services that allow users to track mobile assets, receive notifications when assets are at risk, and remotely control assets during emergency events. Televoke's automatic collision notification service enables individuals and public safety agencies to be notified with detailed information when an accident occurs. Televoke's telematics service platform also provides for the security and safe operation of vehicles equipped to transport hazardous materials (HazMat) including applications such as theft or SOS notification.

1.2 HazMat Crash Notification Demonstration
Televoke is simulating a HazMat collision and subsequent events and data transfers that will automatically result in the notification of Public Safety Agency Points (PSAP's) and associated services, as well as owners or managers of HazMat fleets-all in a matter of seconds.



The sequence of events in the event of a HazMat crash is as follows:

1. A "powered by Televoke" telematics device (e.g. InterTrak) is installed in the HazMat truck. The device includes a Global Position System (GPS) receiver to provide location information, an 'accelerometer' to measure impact of collision, a microprocessor to determine notification events, and a cellular radio and antenna for communications.

2. A simulated crash event is triggered with the pressing of the "Initiate Demo" button on the above web page. In the event of a real collision, the 'accelerometer' would measure severity of impact, and if it exceeds a certain threshold (e.g., bumped fender), the microprocessor will automatically initiate a notification event.

3. A data packet is sent out over the cellular network providing unit ID, crash event codes, and location of HazMat vehicle.

4. The packet of data is received by the Televoke network operations center, that will match Unit ID with truck profile, including type of vehicle, size, owner, driver, license, with alarm information including event type, crash direction and severity, and location of the vehicle. This data will be sent in a standard file format to the Acuo Message Director, provided by Acuo Technologies.

5. Upon receipt of the event data file, the Acuo Message Director will do an automatic look-up, based on location and event type, immediately forward the event file to the emergency agencies that are registered to receive such information.

6. The PSAP's will immediately receive the event file, and import it into any one of a number of system applications that support the standard data file format (e.g., Acuo ERS, Centurion Solutions, Gannet-Fleming, NetCompliance) that will process the data and take appropriate action (e.g., police or EMS dispatch, HazMat regulatory notification).

7. In addition to sending the event file to the PSAP's via the Acuo Message Director, the Televoke system can automatically initiate phone calls, pager and e-mail alerts to the HazMat company, informing them of a crash event with all the pertinent information. This notification profile is set up when the telematics device is installed in the vehicle, and can be modified at any time via the web by the customer.


1.3 Additional HazMat Safety and Security Features
In addition to the automatic crash notification described above, Televoke provides a number of other services that increase the safety and security of HazMat transportation. These additional features address concerns surrounding HazMat transportation and potential terrorist activities following September 11.

Stolen or Lost Hazmat Vehicle Recovery: Televoke is currently providing stolen and lost vehicle tracking applications throughout the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. The Televoke system automatically sends detailed notification messages to call centers if a HazMat vehicle is stolen, or travels outside a pre-determined area. The technology also transmits real-time continuous tracking location data to call centers to aid in stolen vehicle recovery efforts.

Location of HazMat Vehicles on Demand: The Televoke system can transmit latitude and longitude data for HazMat security or emergency response applications. Televoke provides latitude/longitude data, reverse geo-coded street addresses, and full map displays on demand. Location information is available 24/7/365 via web or telephone interface.

Emergency Call Notification: In the event of a terrorist act or hijack, a HazMat driver can use the Televoke system to transmit a distress signal to emergency service centers along with the location data and the identification of the originating transmission device. The vehicle can then be tracked and recovered with local law enforcement and HazMat emergency response experts.

Geo-Fence Notifications: For security measures, a geographical boundary may be set for a specific shipment of hazardous material. If the shipment is taken out of the area or a driver has strayed from the preferred route, notifications (including location, time, and date) will be sent to designated HazMat response teams.

Alarm Notifications: To ensure a hazardous material shipment is not tampered with, HAZMAT vehicle alarm devices may be connected to the Televoke system. If a door or valve is opened before a shipment reaches its final destination, notifications will be sent to concerned parties.

Remote Alarm Activation or Engine Disable: Televoke currently provides the ability to communicate with an in-vehicle device to activate an alarm or remotely disable an engine in the event of a stolen HazMat vehicle.

Vehicle Diagnostics/Prognostics: Televoke can transmit diagnostic data from any device that can get vehicle data from the On Board Diagnostic (OBDII) Port or vehicle data bus. This will help ensure that HazMat vehicles are being properly serviced and that there are no preexisting conditions that may cause a vehicle failure or emergency.

Excessive Speed Notification: The Televoke system can send notifications when a HazMat vehicle travels above a pre-set speed limit.
