INTRODUCTION 

Internet of Cars Sustainable Vehicle Technologies 

Accident prevention, connectivity, and environmental protection make up an 

emerging concept called the Internet of Cars “IoC”. E-Logs Technology embraces 

the possibilities of the Internet of Cars making smarter, self-sufficient vehicles for 

operators and passengers into a reality. The precise accuracy of an E-Logs device 

will force drivers to remain perfectly in lane at the most effective speed.. Crash 

prevention measures include avoidance systems such as “Close Vehicle Proximity 

Alerts” which will become vital to roadway safety. E-Logs protects drivers with an 

audio alert followed by visual depictions of any given event with one goal in mind: 

safer driving. Common instances include motorcycles approaching from “blind 

spots” located diagonally behind rear passengers. By providing these alerts and 

a 360° view of a vehicle's s urroundings, E-Logs Technology will essentially 

eliminate blind spots. 

Sensors will also determine the exact spacing between cars and advise 

adjustments for the safest, most efficient route possible. E-Logs Technology 

achieves this by focusing on vehicle diagnostics and communication with on-board 

wifi units, fuel effective route mapping, and omni-vehicle communication, or 

Vehicle to Everything (V2X) communication.. 

E-Logs elevates the driving experience with personalized entertainment and 

connectivity linked to roadways and infrastructure everywhere. Greener driving is 

promoted by focusing on power and fuel efficiency which will minimize carbon 

emissions creating a more sustainable environment. The Internet of Cars will cause 

the convergence functionally necessary to enable the autonomous vehicle 

revolution to take place. E-Logs is on the cutting edge of these technologies 

currently testing state-of-the-art on-board wireless sensor networks, electronic 

diagnostic devices, and safety networks comprised of sensors communicating with 

cars, drivers, and surrounding infrastructure.

V2X - Vehicle to Everything 

Vehicle to Everything is an elaborate network of 

highly sophisticated sensors mounted in vehicles for 

continuous communication and connectivity within 

its environment. The data generated and collected 

between vehicles, pedestrians, and infrastructures 

will aid E-Logs inoptimizing operational efficiency 

for global commerce. Vehicles powered by E-Logs 

Technology will ultimately improve the mobility of 

people and goods, simultaneously preserving the 

environment, and sustainable ecosystem. The V2X 

ecosystem assimilates data collected and deciphers 

each data point to further enhance the quality of 

automobile safety performance. 

V2X Safety Protocols 

E-Logs Technology is constantly conducting research and innovating transportation 

assets to improve public safety through sustainable vehicle technologies. For 

instance, crash avoidance networks reduce transit-related injuries and fatalities. By 

creating a system to measure vehicle data E-Logs gains a better insight of exact overall 

vehicle conditioning and reliability. Eliminating vehicle malfunctions will instantly 

increase safety. E-Logs accomplishes this by allowing the driver to monitor vehicle 

health in real time. Drivers are not constantly aware of their surrounding environment 

courtesy of proximity alerts such as blind spot awareness which reveal approaching 

motorcycles to unsuspecting drivers. Promoting safety means creating autonomous 

systems which maintain the perfect distance from other cars, while holding the driver 

perfectly in line at just the right speed. 

Vehicle Communications Powered by Wireless Technologies 

Automated vehicles save energy and reduce air pollution that arises from the 

transportation sector through greater operating efficiency. Improving the efficiency of 

the supply chain industry will entail of vehicle sensor technologies to support various 

methods of communication, such as: 

3 


Exchange data 

in the following 

ways: 

Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) 

Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) 

Vehicle to Motorcycle (V2M) 

Vehicle to Pedestrian (V2P) 

Vehicle to Animal (V2A) 

4 


V2P - Vehicle To Pedestrian 

Safety will always be a staple for 

sustainable vehicle technologies aiming 

to prevent traffic accidents from 

occurring on roadways. Among other 

things, E-Logs ensures human and environmental 

safety. Vehicle to Pedestrian 

(V2P) communication targets a wide 

spectrum of roadway users including: 

walkers/joggers, parents pushing 

strollers, disabled wheelchair users, 

passengers boarding and dismounting 

buses/trains, and pedestrians riding 

bicycles. 

V2P TECHNOLOGY 

Sensors generate automated alerts cautioning 

pedestrians who may be visually 

impaired and/or simply have an inconspicuous 

view of traffic signals ahead. 

Warning alerts will notify transit bus 

operators of pedestrians at an unsafe 

distance and/or who are in the immediate 

path of the vehicle. Conversely, 

information would automatically be 

relayed between the operator and 

citizens when inattentive motorists make 

unsafe lane changes and endanger 

pedestrians. 

Pedestrians at crossing intersections should not feel endangered by oncoming traffic. 

5 


V2M - Vehicle to Motorcycle 

Each year 2,200 people are killed with more than 55,000 injuries involving motorcycles. 

In fact, The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released 

a study showing “The number of motorcyclist crash-related fatalities has more than 

doubled during the past 10 years.” Generally the number of hours to complete a 

crash investigation case, including collecting control data, results in an average cost 

of about $7,500. The study found that “[the] most common cause of motorcycle 

accidents is the failure of drivers to detect and recognize motorcycles in traffic.” The 

safety of motorcyclists on our nation’s roads has become an increasing concern 

among traffic safety professionals with the rising number of motorcyclist fatalities each 

year. The solution is effective communication from vehicle to motorcycle. 

The Future of V2M 

Vehicle to Motorcycle (V2M) 

It has become a top priority for E-Logs 

Technology to effectively produce sustainable 

safety technology which mitigates the 

unnecessary tragic loss of life on all roadways 

across the world.The efforts include exciting 

breakthroughs such as proximity alerts which 

create total awareness for all drivers. Such 

technology will create a 360° visibility sphere 

depicting the surrounding environment thus 

ending the most common cause of motorcycle 

accidents. Certain factors which weigh in on 

the development of V2M communications 

include type, size, and handling 

characteristics of the motorcycles. 

Think Suzuki GSX-R versus Harley Davidson. The types of data collected include detailed reports of 

motorcycle operations and functionality. . 

By implementing technology developed by E-Logs, roads will be safer for everyone, including 

motorists. Autonomous features such as 360° visibility will be key in lowering motorcyclist 

crash-related fatalities. E-Logs is currently researching this new technology and expects to 

launch these features by 2020.

V2I - Vehicle to Infrastructure 

2 

Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) communications is the wireless transmission of crucial 

safety data/operational information between vehicles, and roadway infrastructure. 

For the purposes of avoiding motor vehicle crashes E-Logs Technology is currently 

testing multiple communication platforms designed to save lives. Vehicle to Infrastructure 

applications are key to smarter transportation systems that’ll soon reinvent the 

future of logistics and highway travel. Such applicable tests address critical crash scenarios 

and challenge current transportation status quos. 

This is not limited to the manipulation of traffic signal timing information sent from 

emergency responder vehicles via wireless networks. Purposeful influencing of traffic 

signal timing will enable emergency vehicles to arrive on scene as quickly as possible 

A “Communicore” publication summarizes 

sudden cardiac arrest as 

the most common critical emergency, 

striking more than 350,000 

people annually in the US alone. 

About 90% of those treated within 

two minutes will survive. Fatal 

results typically follow treatment of 

sudden emergencies with only 

about 10% surviving if help arrives 

only 6 minutes after. 

These situations are no respecter of location 

or timing. A sudden emergency will take 

place regardless of a victim’s whereabouts. 

E-Logs will employ advanced V2I wireless 

technologies to mitigate about 20% of crash 

scenarios not addressed by its V2V platform. 

The latest effort to develop active emergency 

prevention is expected to bring forth exciting 

results. E-Logs practices maintaining a high 

level of infrastructure support for V2I safety 

platforms maximizing transportation safety 

and efficiency.

Smart Vehicle + Smart Warehouse = Connected Efficiency 

Infrastructures connected to automated vehicles communication systems help 

streamline information such as current locations, arrival/departure times, and delay 

notifications.

V2V - Vehicle to Vehicle 

Vehicle to Vehicle communication requires connected vehicle networks to essentially 

become “Self-Learning Vehicle Broadcasters” that correct human driving mistakes. 

Vehicles can communicate with other vehicles in the vicinity and share valuable 

insights to prevent accidents from occurring 

Vehicles traveling in a convoy each ascertain the lead vehicle’s readings to 

communicate and provide safer driving conditions. The illustration below 

demonstrates how when vehicles on roadways find themselves in an uneasy and 

dangerous environment, E-Logs “Crash Avoidance” activates control and guides the 

driver immediately to safety.

V2A - Vehicle to Animal 

Vehicle to Animal Communications 

The prolific bond between human and dog in some cases could be seen in the same 

light as parent to child. Unfortunately, It is estimated more than 1 million dogs are 

killed on US roads per year. The tragic and sudden loss of any pet would understandably 

bring a time of mourning. The mutually beneficial and dynamic relationship 

between humans and dogs has been the case of study for sometime by psychologists. 

Soon, E-Logs intends to save as many lost or absconded pets as possible through 

Vehicle to Animal (V2A) Communication. 

Vehicle to Animal(V2A) 

Communication is the sort of 

technology which not only saves 

the lives of our furry 

companions, but also the hearts 

of many children around the 

world. Alert systems and safety 

protocols will announce 

wondering animal locations 

in real-time eliminating driver 

stress as pets cross into street 

lanes. 

How Vehicle to Animal (V2A) 

Communication works 

As long as the pet has a GPS Tracer it 

has the potential to be detected by 

E-Logs vehicle to animal proximity sensors. 

As the pet approaches an intersection 

an alert will automatically be 

sent to any connected vehicles in the 

general area. 

Unlike Microchip for dogs which is 

used for authentication of a lost pet, the 

GPS Tracker is used for real-time tracking. 

Typically the GPS Tracker is larger 

about the size of a quarter whereas the 

microchip normally is about the size of 

a grain of rice. 


CRYSTAL’S EDITS 

The prolific bond between humans and dogs is sometimes seen in the same light 

as parent child relationships. We love our pets and incorporate them into our 

family life. Unfortunately, estimates say that vehicles kill more than 1 million dogs 

on US roads every year. The sudden loss of a pet understandably brings pain 

and mourning. The mutually beneficial and dynamic relationship between 

humans and dogs is the 

subject of study by psychologists because of its unique intricacies. With 

developing technology, Vehicle to Animal (V2A) Communication, E-Logs intends 

to save as many loving pets and animals as possible. 

Vehicle to Animal (V2A) Communication has the ability not only to save the lives 

of our furry companions, but also to protect the hearts of children and animal 

lovers around the world. Alert systems and safety protocols will announce 

wandering animal locations in real-time. Therefore, drivers will have one less 

thing to worry about on the road. Cats can keep more of those nine lives for 

when they really need them! 

How Vehicle to Animal (V2A) Communication works 

Our proximity sensors can detect any 

pet with a GPS Tracer. As the pet 

approaches an intersection,our technology 

will send an alert automatically to 

connected vehicles in the general area. 

Unlike a microchip, which identifies lost 

pets, the GPS Tracker uses real-time 

tracking.Typically the GPS Tracker is 

about the size of a quarter, whereas the 

microchip is normally about the size of a 

grain of rice. 

No matter how careful or perfect we try to be with our care, sometimes unforeseen 

circumstances or emergencies may leave our pets to roam freely. That may mean that 

a dog or cat makes it out to the street all alone. Pet owners and animals lovers will 

be spared a heartache if the proper technology is available. E-logs is looking to 

keep those little guys safe and all of us happy.

Vehicle Crash Avoidance Technology 

Vehicle communication detects physical objects 

while vehicles are in motion. Crash avoidance 

is the continuation of vehicle safety features and 

system protocols designed to prevent motorists 

from colliding with one another. In preparation 

for autonomous cars on our roads, E-Logs 

continues innovating their sustainable vehicle 

ecosystem with newer technologies and safer 

driving protocols that automatically alert 

motorists when approaching a distressed 

environment. 

A few automated safety features include 

Vehicles Approaching 

Proximity 

Blind Spot 

Awareness 

360° 

Vehicle Monitoring 

Mobile 

Pedestrian Warning 

Motorcycle 

Approaching 

E-Logs collision mitigating network connects to sensors and cameras to help 

prevent accidents and better observe public roadways. Sensors and cameras 

reduce the amount of accidents that occur each year on U.S. highways. Vehicle 

communication enables an array of multi-purpose networks. Such networks 

include standard safety features such as, airbag deployment or seat belt sensors. 

In the unlikely event of a collision, E-Logs self-automated technology shares time, 

location and severity to expedite assistance. Streamlining network 

communications, upon detection of vehicle impact, automatically send distress 

signals for first responder emergency assistance. Improving vehicle and driver 

safety features are key fundamentals that will improve traveling for citizens on 

highways around the world. E-Logs vehicle technologies diagnose automobile 

health while surveying the future, and simultaneously monitoring visible roadway 

activities.

A Modern History of Automated Vehicles... 

Driverless vehicles are closer than you think! While the concept of an automated 

vehicle may seem futuristic, many companies such as Google and Tesla have 

taken initiative by already implementing autonomous features. Sit back and relax, 

automated vehicles will bring more mobility and efficiency, and thus save us a lot 

of time. Recently, the Department of Transportation published the “Federal Automated 

Vehicles Policy,” which outlined safety regulations for US roads, and 

made it the first country to develop regulations for automated vehicles. The industry 

states highly automated vehicles are projected to be on the roads as early as 

2020. 

In the early 2000’s three military 

incentives that sparked interest in 

automated vehicle automation were 

Demo I (US Army), Demo II (DARPA), 

and Demo III (US Army). The goal 

was to design automated vehicles to 

solve transportation issues such as 

congestion and accidents. The 

events were designed to produce an 

unmanned vehicle that could autonomously 

navigate difficult terrain. 

Only a few contestants were able to 

complete the challenge. 

By the 2010’s all major automotive 

manufacturers have started to 

research and develop automated 

vehicles. Using an array of sensors 

and communication systems, many 

automobile manufacturers have at 

least achieved an autonomous prototype. 

Google states “We’ve self-driven 

more than 1.5 million miles and 

are currently out on the streets of 

Mountain View, California, Austin, 

Texas, Kirkland, Washington and 

Metro Phoenix, Arizona.” 

Fully automated vehicles are not currently 

available to the public, but that 

is projected to change within the 

next few years.

Vehicle Cybersecurity 

Vehicle cybersecurity and protecting our customers personal data is a top 

priority . Quadruple trust in addition to regulatory compliance guidelines and 

vehicle data exchange is protected by E-Logs supercomputing logistic data 

privacy software. 

Compliance with the law. Studies 

have shown that there is a correlation 

between compliance with the FMCSA 

mandate and truck drivers accomplishing 

the hours of service. It has 

also been proven that compliance 

with the mandate results in lower 

crash rates. E-Logs will be 100% 

compliant with the rules and regulations 

of the Department of Transportation 

(DOT). 

Communication. E-Logs has made 

truck drivers and dispatchers more 

interconnected with each other. Electronic 

logging through E-Logs allows 

drivers to be easily accessible through 

the E-Logs dashboard. Also, one can 

send messages to drivers either individually 

or in groups.

Framework for Environmental Justice 

The environmental justice framework is 

an attempt to uncover underlying issues 

that contribute to record-breaking pollution 

levels in industrial cities and overexploitation 

of our ecosystem. We believe 

all individuals and communities have the 

“right” to be protected from environmental 

deterioration. This will continue to be 

a predominant focus for E-Logs Technology, 

in addition to extra safety precautions 

and community health. 

Surely, achieving this vision will help 

vulnerable, environmentally burdened, 

and economically disadvantaged ecosystems 

become healthier, cleaner, and 

more sustainable. Also, by better understanding 

these explicit dangers, we can 

promote environmental justice. In light of 

never before seen pollution levels, don’t 

you think it’s time to do what we can to 

keep our earth clean? E-Logs wants to 

make that easy for you! 

Environmental Justice 

Commonly, low income areas bear the brunt of environmental issues. On 

February 11, 1994, President Bill Clinton signed Executive Order 12898, 

creating a federal Environmental Justice (EJ) program. The program addresses 

environmental issues in minority and low-income populations. 

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines environmental justice 

as, "The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people ... with respect 

to ... environmental laws, regulations, and policies. According to the Clinton 

Administration, fair treatment means that “no group of people... should bear a 

disproportionate share of negative environmental consequences..." 

Environmental justice is all about being fair and giving everyone a seat at the 

table. With this in mind, E-Logs Technology has developed a sustainable 

method of detection that monitors and records emissions. Additionally, it determines 

emission levels in natural gas powered vehicles. Low cost sensors record 

a vehicle's carbon dioxide emission levels. By better monitoring greenhouse 

gases, we provide better air quality for everyone. Consequently, our technology 

will promote environmental responsibility and justice.

5 Ways E-Logs Improves Supply 

Chain Industry 

We will help our Supply Chain Industry GROW by reducing freight 

expenditures through our load board feature. By simply allowing shippers to connect 

directly with carriers for logistics purposes,millions of dollars will be saved annually. 

We are going to keep great owner operators in the game by Reducing Costs. Such 

costs include insurance premiums. By providing "Safe Driver" records to insurance companies 

we will be making the effort to combat high costing premiums for deserving drivers.. 

We also offer compliance 

reporting such as the quarterly IFTA reports at just $10 per report, which currently cost 

as much as $400 annually for owner operators. Another notable benefit is that E-Logs 

is the most cost effective ELD solution on the market. By reducing costs at the driver's 

level we help ensure that we will keep the best drivers on the road, which is an integral 

part of the Supply Chain Industry. 

Improving the Supply Chain Industry through Accountability. Real Time GPS tracking 

allows for shipper/customer/carrier transparency. Gone are the days when drivers 

were able to say they had an ETA of 30 minutes while still 2 hours away from the destination. 

Real Time GPS greatly increases security in our industry; and as a byproduct; 

shippers will be more willing to connect with drivers in a way they never have before. 

The nature of our ELD automatically makes highways a Safer Place.. The purpose of 

the device serves dually to protect the driver from harassment as well as assure all Hours 

of Service (HoS) rules are being observed. When drivers are pushed past their limits, 

fatigue sets in, which can be tragically followed by a highway fatality like in many 

cases. 

Our ELD is in essence a diagnostics reader. E-Logs will be able to Provide Crucial Real 

Time Data to semi tractor manufacturers explaining which parts are most likely to malfunction. 

This obviously turns into greater reliability on all highways globally. E-Logs 

may actually be a pivotal component in setting future industry standards for vehicle 

mechanics. E-Logs will transform the Supply Chain Industry by reducing future 

breakdowns. This will keep our economy rolling in the right direction.

E-Logs Electronic Logging Device (ELD) includes the 

following telematics options: 

GPS WiFi Cellular Bluetooth 

Global Positioning System (GPS) 

The GPS (Global Positioning System) 

The GPS data is stored in a CSV formatted file. 

Use DawnEdit or DAWN Dashboard to merge 

with the in-vehicle network or analog data into 

one data file. 

HEM Data provides more power when 

combining GPS with elogs Dashboard. elogs 

Dashboard can provide geofencing, a 

web-based display of vehicle trips, and the 

current vehicle location. 

GPS parameters include: latitude, longitude, altitude, vehicle speed and 

heading (direction). The Universal Time clock (UTC), popularly known as 

GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) provides a time standard, especially if 

more than one acquisition device is used, or if vehicles are in different time 

zones. 

WiFi 

The WiFi transmitter and antenna are conveniently located within one of the 

Mini Loggers (J1939, OBD or ADAQ loggers). The 802.11 b, g and n 

standards are supported. WiFi is an excellent way to automatically transmit the 

vehicle data whenever the vehicle is within range of a designated WiFi 

hotspot. 

The WiFi hotspot could be part of your company’s local area network (LAN), a specifically 

installed WiFi hotspot with cellular connectivity provided by a cellular provider, or a third 

party WiFi hotspot. 

17 


The WiFi hotspot could be at a fixed location such as a depot or office. The 

advantage to this is that many vehicles can share one hotspot. 

If the hotspot is in the vehicle, then real-time data is possible, and any other 

devices in the vehicle can share this hotspot. A fleet can have a mix of hotspot’s 

depending on the need for real-time data. 

WiFi Hotspots 

The WiFi hotspot devices range from relatively inexpensive devices (around $50) 

from cellular carriers to more rugged devices from a variety of suppliers. Most 

hotspots work from up to about a 150 ft distance , but powered antennas and 

repeaters (extenders) can extend this range. 

Cellular 

The ELD device has an optional internal modem and internal GPS receiver. The 

logger fits in the palm of your hand with no external antennas! 

Currently, the modem supports GSM (AT&T & T-Mobile). The ELD device 

acquires data from both light duty and heavy duty vehicles. 

Bluetooth 

Bluetooth support.

Environmental justice is all about being fair 

and giving everyone a seat at the table. With 

this in mind, E-Logs Technology has 

developed a sustainable method of detection 

that monitors and records emissions. 

Additionally, it determines emission levels in 

natural gas powered vehicles. Low cost 

sensors record a vehicle's carbon dioxide 

emission levels. By better monitoring 

greenhouse gases, we provide better air 

quality for everyone. Consequently, our 

technology will promote environmental 

responsibility and justice 

Framework for Environmental Justice 

The environmental justice framework is an attempt to uncover underlying issues 

that contribute to record-breaking pollution levels in industrial cities and 

overexploitation of our ecosystem. We believe all individuals and communities

economically disadvantaged ecosystems become healthier, cleaner, and more 

sustainable. Also, by better understanding these explicit dangers, we can promote 

environmental justice. In light of never before seen pollution levels, don’t 

you think it’s time to do what we can to keep our earth clean? E-Logs wants to 

make that easy for you

Noise Pollution 

Transportation Sector 

Pollutants don’t always smell bad or look awful, pollution also comes in the form 

of sound. The traditional definition describes noise pollution as unwanted noise. 

This serious environmental challenge interferes with normal day to day activities 

such as sleep, conversations, hearing, and peace of mind, but can be easily 

overlooked. It is quite astonishing that some U.S. cities do not regulate noise 

levels. As a socially sustainable organization, we acknowledge the dangers of 

noise pollution and the major role of the transportation industry in our quality of 

life. 


For example, first responders such as 

police officers, fire engines, and emergency 

medical services respond to 

distress calls. Typically they turn on their 

loud sirens to help mitigate traffic until 

they arrive to their destinations. Each day 

noise pollution affects millions of Americans. 

Individuals widely exposed to high 

levels of loud sounds are typically more 

stressed and unhealthy. Unwanted 

sounds in our environment also make us 

less productive. In some scenarios, 

long-term exposure to noise pollution 

leads to noise-induced hearing loss. 

Are trains noise pollution and making us go deaf? 

E-Logs Technology plans to solve noise pollution with sustainable methods. For 

instance, train activity near residential properties makes a lot of unwanted 

racket. Train horns produce an excruciating noise, this in turn constantly discomforts 

homeowners and devalues their properties. 

E-Logs Technology is in the process of redesigning railroad crossings in an effort 

to reduce noise pollution. E-Logs proposes adding small speakers that beep 

around railroad crossings and/or similar to those near street crossings. These 

speakers will operate in the frequency range of 2000 - 5000 Hz, which are the 

frequencies humans are most sensitive to. Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) technology 

will also activate this warning notification within the vehicle. Doing so eliminates 

the need for a disruptive train horn. E-Logs plans to eradicate noise pollution 

with the implementation of these new methods. Although, these effects are 

quite serious, very few governmental entities address the issue. We are excited 

to bring about quieter and more peaceful days and nights for everyone.

Everyday Mobility 

Today’s Mobility processes are dramatically shifting due to a maturing technical 

infrastructure along with transit ridesharing, and micro delivery services powered by 

crowdsourcing. Shared mobility options increasingly complement and expand transportation 

options, reducing the amount of vehicles in any given stretch of 

roadway. Major trends which also impact overall mobility are demographic statistics, 

economic trends, technological advancement, and social stability. E-Logs Technology 

has evaluated the potential for implementing 

sustainable vehicle technologies in major traffic areas such as the Greater Los Angeles 

area. In conclusion, E-Logs found that congested areas increase the likelihood of 

accidents. The major focus shifts to vehicle safety ratings through asset innovation 

and technological improvements. Economic trends rally as the flow of goods and 

services increase in the absence of roadway congestion 

Freight Mobility 

In matters which concern freight transportation, E-Logs systematically strives to solve 

major domestic distribution bottlenecks choking international trade. This is 

accomplished by focusing on vehicle communication and diagnostics. The flagship 

product introducing E-Logs to the market is the Electronic Diagnostics Device 

(EDD) which monitors Hours-of-Service (HOS) and driver duty status in regards to 

the FMCSA’s ELD Ruling. This ruling tremendously impacts the supply chain 

industry. E-Logs empowers freight mobility by perfecting vehicle performance. The 

diagnostic device along with the proper protocols allow for total and complete 

customization. E-Logs Technology has created a platform from which the device 

will accelerate future flow of goods and services along with improving highway 

safety. In coordination with local, state, and federal authorities, commercial 

conditions will continue to improve by leveraging mobility, enhancing safety 

measures, and delivering the next generation of vehicle technologies.
