2 VECHICLES SPEED LOG SOFTWARE INTRODUCTION By implementing the speed logging software into vehicle that wirelessly sends to a server with the vehicle registration and licence plate, the number of drivers breaking the law from overspeeding will decrease as they will keep their speeds low, and from this the social cost spent by government on fatal crashes will decrease. Social cost of fatal crash in NZ is estimated at $3,797,600 (Ministry of Transport 2012 Statistics) but when governments social cost is reduced, the saved cost can be spent on other sectors. Also decreased fatal crashes will decrease number of deaths will reduce societys suffering and damage on the community. Even though the role of police is protecting all persons against illegal acts (UN Blue Book) but police dont have resources to catch all over-speeding drivers. But furthermore, this will solve the problem and increase police productivity by reducing the need for them to be actively catching speeders in an urban context.
3. BUSINESS SECTION 3.1 Vision To reduce the number of road accidents and make the road safe for both drivers and citizens. 3.2 Industry Analysis: Road Safety Software Industry Industry: Road Safety Software Industry. This industry will focus on reducing the occurrence of road accidents and improving the road safety by creating the software that will enforce people to follow the road safety laws and reduce the injury and death rates from fatal crashes. Force: High/Low: Justification: Buyer power: Low Buyer power is low as Supplier power: Low Supplier power is low as Threat of new entrants: Low Threat of new entrants is low as Threat of substitutes: Low Threat of substitutes is low as Rivalry among existing competitors: Low Rivalry among existing competitors is low as

3 Overall attractiveness of the industry: This industry is highly attractive based off the Porters 5 force analysus and it also has a first-mover advantage due to the fact that there has not been any software implemneted on vehicle that will reduces the occurance of road accidents and improve the road saftey. 3.3 Customers and Thei r Needs Our main customer will be the government and police. The government will need to this software to reduce the high social cost spent on fatal crashes. Drivers that break the law will be reported to a server which will help government to collect fines from them and increase the government revenue. At the moment police dont have resoruces to catch all the drivers breaking the speed limit but implimenting this software will help over-speeding drivers to be caught and fined easliy without wasting policeman power. By making the process automatic, police can work on other jobs that require human resources. 3.4 The Product and Service A software that logs the vehicles speed will contribute in catching the over-speeding drivers that was originally caught by policemen and speed cameras. Our software is better and more effecient as many speed cameras havent cut accident rates and may even increased them. They are only highly effecitve in clocking up speeding fines. The tax money being spent on installing speed cameras by government is not actually making the raod safter, and just government rasing the money by receiving speeding fines (Jason Groves, 2011) where as this software will decrease the accident rates and increase the government revenue. The software will also minimise the dangerous distraction to drivers as they dont have to check the speedometer when the speed camera is nearby. Looking down at the speedometer for just 1 second without the driver concentrating properly on the road will highly cause fatal crash as vehicle travells about 13 metres in 1 second (dabatewise, 2014). By generating the process into automative process to decrease the number of car accidents and improve the road safety. 3.5 Suppliers and Partners Supplier

4 In order to implement this software into the vehicle, we will need a software developer to create the vehicles speed logging software. MadgeTech has created a data logging software that logs data and allows users real time and wireless recording, and more (MadgeTech, 2014). By working with Madge Tech, we will be able to create a speed logging software that logs the vehicles real time speed and send them wirelessly to the server.
Partner As the implememt of this software will reduce the wasting of policeman power and increase the governmnet revenue. We will be partnered with police and government to contribute in reducing the road accidencts and improving the road safety to decrease the fatal crash. Also in order to implemnet the software into vehicle, we will need car mechanics to install the software inside the vehicles. 3.6 Strategy: Focussed High Cost To create a software that logs the vehicles speed and sends them wirelessly to a server, we will require high start up cost as it is only a start up software and wont be easy to create. Also a software that is aimed for reducing the road accident will be focused in narrow scope of market to start with. The overall strategy is therefore Focussed High Cost 3.7 Value Chain Activity: Making the product or service The most important value chain activity for this business is making the software that logs vehicles speed and identifies whether the drivers speed was above the speed range and sends them wirelessly to polices server in order for driver to be fined for over-speeding. If the software is produced with lots of error consumer will not need it and their needs wont be satifsied. Thus, the impact of it will be huge as it is going to be implemented in all vehicles and partnered with government and police. The software has to be delivered with high quality with no error as it will be used to determine drivers who are breaking the law. It should be implementable into the vehicle as it needs to log the speed in real-time and need to be able to achive the goal of solving the problem of over-speeding and causing fatal crashes.

5 3.8 Business Processes 3.8.1. PRODUCTION PROCESS is the main and most important process because the finished software needs to be high standard with no error so it can be implemented into the vehicles to catch the over-speeding drivers and meet the needs of government and police. From creating and designing software and testing before installing it into the vehicles needs to be done effectively and productively through different departments. This supports the value chain activity of making the software by adding value to make the road safer.
3.8.2. SPEED LOG IDENTIFICATION PROCESS The process of identifying the speed log wil l determine whether the driver has broke the law by driving above the speed range of 20-110km or not. It is i mportant as if they dont identify the
6
6 log correctly and sends it to the server to report them, the driver will be penalised to pay fine. This supports the value chain activity of collecting the speed log and adding value using the speed range of 20-110km to make the road safer.
3.9 Functionalities 3.9.1. PRODUCTION PROCESS Creates finished good and test it do minimise the error before installing Adds value and quality to finished good and provide service 3.9.2. SPEED LOG IDENTIFICATION PROCESS Identifies collected l og of speed whether it is above the speed range or not

SPEED IDENIFICATION SYSTEM This system identifies whether the driver has broke the law by driving above the speed range of 20-110km or not base off the speed logs. This ensures the log has been correctly sent to the server to report that driver broke the speeding law for them to be penalised with fine. 3.10.2. VEHICLE IDENIFICATION SYSTEM This system identifies which vehicle broke the speeding range based off recevied data of vehicle registration and licence plate. This enables the police to access into personal detail and penalise the driver with fines. 3.10.3. WIRELESS REPORTING SYSTEM This system reports the drivers speed logs and drivers vehicle registrations and licence plates when they drove above the speed range of 20-110km wirelessly to a server that is connected with police. The police will then contact them to penalise the driver with fines.

9 CONCLUSION Our software will increase the government revenue by identifying overspeeding drivers and receiving fines, and at the same time it will decrease the number fo injuries and deaths caused from fatal crash by generating the process into automative process to decrease the number of car accidents and improve the road safety. And by making the process automatic, it will increase effeciency and productivity for government, police and citizens. REFERENCES
