Product Summary (Draft-1)


The article “Video - The New Fleet Telematic Killer App” introduces a road-facing camera that can be installed in the user’s vehicle that serves multiple purposes. From basic dash cams functions to detecting driver’s behavior as well as recent road traffic accidents that happened in the vicinity of the driver’s location.

There are functions that triggers the camera to start automatically or in a predetermined interval in order to protect the user’s privacy. Videos recording will then provide drivers with “post-drive coaching” to further improve their driving performance.

The camera also has facial tracking properties allowing it to detect the driver’s fatigue and distraction as well as provide driver with real-time notifications, giving drivers feedback such as visual and audible alerts and vibrations to focus the driver’s attention back on the road thus preventing potential road traffic accidents.

TLM1010 Formal Writing


Dear Professor Brad,
 
I am Tan Ching Wei, currently pursuing a degree in Telematics (Intelligent Transport System Engineering). In 2017, I graduated from Nanyang Polytechnic with a Diploma in Electronics Computer and Communication.

At 13, I built my first desktop, and since then anything related to computers and technology grabbed my attention. With an inquisitive mind, I continue to explore the wonders of technology. My post-secondary education exposed me to Electronics, in particular, Information Technology. With the exposure, I knew that that was the area I was truly interested in. My passion and interest in this field bloomed with time, leading me to apply for this Telematics course.

One of my strengths is being able to explain a concept or an idea to someone regardless of him/her having any prior background knowledge. Having a passion for electronics, I derive joy from explaining to others about it. One time, I was able to explain in a manner comprehensible to kids in a Science Fair held in Nanyang Polytechnic. My greatest communication weakness is public speaking. One time, I had to do a presentation in front of my class. Knowing that I was terrible speaking in front of a crowd, I had my script memorized, hoping to regurgitate the words out smoothly. I diligently spent hours tucked away with my script. However, when it was time to show everyone my fruits of labour, I froze midway and my mind went blank. Not even the pointers on the slides could get my brain working again.

Through this module, I hope to grasp effective communication skills and habits. Not only will this ease future conversations in the workplace, but also heighten my confidence in the aspect of public speaking. This module will definitely provide a great platform for me to practice new techniques that have been taught.

Sincerely,
Tan Ching Wei
