Spectacular determination of winner
Unusual GPS solution for data verification determines winner at Navigation Global Live-Showcase
The winner of the Live-Showcase „Porsche vs. eCar“ at the kick-off of Navigation Global on the Hockenheimring on 06 October was determined in a spectacular way by a new application from the navigation sector. A new solution to verify data, including timestamp and pinpoint positioning, which is generated via a mobile device by means of a special database was used for the first time at the Hockenheimring. The transmitted contents are processed on the platform and enriched with additional information such as meteorological data.
Verifying data - simple and efficient(firmenpresse) - The Live-Showcase „Porsche vs. eCar“, hosted by the Navigation Global initiative on the Hockenheimring on 06 October was obviously all about speed. However, the focus was not on the speed of the cars but on the speed of the participants. While Porsche and eCar completed lap after lap, the front passengers were asked questions via a mobile phone in combination with a new verification solution from the navigation sector. The answers were also delivered via mobile devices. All of the data gathered during the Live-Showcase was collected in a special database. On this universal online-business-platform all digital media content (photograph, audio, video) generated by present and future end devices is converted into a certified and safe state before then being made available in a customised way via standard interfaces. The winning team had to give regular and fast answers. After evaluation of all available data, the e-Car came out on top. But this exciting demonstration showed only a small part of the unlimited potential of this solution.
No matter whether it is to document claims for insurance companies, to share patient records and pictures in health care, for dating agencies, in the real estate market or for emergency break-down services – the possibilities are unlimited. Currently a use-case in the car rental industry is targeting a solution for a well-known problem: “Just imagine you are at the station and the colleague who is supposed to pick you up and take you to an important business appointment is stuck somewhere,” explains Patrizia Vivani, founder of Navigation Global. “Now you need a car quickly. You simply have not got the time to search for a car rental office and to wait for them to determine whether an appropriate vehicle is available.” The user activates his account with his car rental company online via a login and password. All available vehicles in the direct vicinity are displayed including photograph, position, registration and type of vehicle.
“Now all you have to do is choose one. The mobile phone acts as a navigation system and leads you directly to the chosen car in your direct vicinity. The car is opened with an access code via Bluetooth and you can head to your business appointment,” continues Vivani.
When you are finished the car is simply left at an appropriate place and locked via Bluetooth. That is the end of the rental procedure. Invoicing is handled simply and client-friendly via the mobile phone bill. Experts believe that the existing structures in this field could change very quickly.
“The trend should see us no longer having to take rental cars to special rental stations. The reason for doing this is the determination of defects – and that can be documented simply via that solution and the use of a mobile device.” More information to the solution can be found under www.navigation-global.com/channel.
