iQ-Telematics™, LLC
It’s smart to be safe™
For Immediate Release
Michigan’s
iQ-Telematics™
introduces:
iQ-AutoLife™,4th
generation driver experience
solutions,
during SAE Convergence 2012
West
Bloomfield, Michigan – October 16, 2012 -
Michigan-based iQ-Telematics™, LLC will be
exhibiting at SAE Convergence 2012 to
introduce iQ-AutoLife™, which includes
patented/patent pending technologies in the
US and EU. iQ-AutoLife™ is a fourth
generation driver experience solution that
will Guarantee, Hands
On The Wheel, Eyes On The Road and seamless
integration of driver life necessities
inside and outside the automobile, without
introducing hazards associated with portable
telematics and today’s connected vehicles.
“Everyone is focused on connected vehicles,
but we are focused on connecting people
safely”, said Mr. Naboulsi, the inventor and
founder of iQ-Telematics™.
The Old:
During SAE Government and Industry, 2002 our
parent company, Applikompt, introduced
STMCGateway™ which consists of
KnowledgeWare™, Hardware and Software
that work together to assure a safer driver
experience.
1.
KnowledgeWare™
is the conclusion of more than 7 years of
applied research of real world driving
packaged into a set of universal rules to
assure elimination of known driver
distraction causes.
a.
Reflex Distraction™:
By eliminating all vehicle equipment,
portable device alarms, notifications, and
information and re-prioritizing and
restructuring them to direct the driver’s
attention to the road ahead and surrounding
traffic. No Startle, no surprises, no
redirecting driver vision off the road or
taking away his attention off the drive.
b.
Impulse Distraction™:
By enabling impulse activity in a manner
that Guarantees Eyes On
The Road and Hands On The Wheel™.
c.
Life Style Distraction™:
By empowering regulators, parents and
individuals to set limits and policies on
how and what they want to engage in while
they are driving.
2.
Hardware (STMCGATEWAY™). The
Gateway is a plug and play controller that
uses USB and other communication protocols
to integrate portable devices with the
vehicle data sources and the vehicle native
controls, so they are used through our
preferred HMI,
HANDS-ON-WHEEL-Interface™,
(HOWI)™.
HANDS-ON-WHEEL-Interface™
requires drivers to place their hands on the
steering wheel to assure no third task is
taking place while driving and conversing.
Once that step is assured, the system
enables controls with
ThumbGestureInterpretation™ (TGI™),
providing a 100% reliable interface that
speech or voice recognition still fails to
deliver 10 years later.
3.
Software (IntelligentAssistant™):
The IntelligentAssistant™
is an Operating System or a supervisory
application that accepts additional software
into the system, on the phone, on the car or
on a server/ portal, and then employs them
under an adaptive learning state machine
that re-sequences, re-prioritizes, enables,
disables and suspends equipment and services
based on KnowledgeWare™ to assure
delivery of services under safer conditions
and suspends them or changes their delivery
nature so they are not distracting.
The IntelligentAssistant™, in addition to
KnowledgeWare™ uses Driver history Factor,
Temporal Factor, Geographical Factor,
Regulatory and Legal Factor, Driver
instantaneous behavior Factors, Vehicle
Factors, Portable Applications Factors,
Policies Factors and DrivingApplication™
Factors and similar tags that can even
include etiquettes, to configure the driving
experience and modifies it to each driver’s
capabilities and preset KnowledgeWare™ and
preferences.
The system was first demonstrated publicly
during SAE Congress 2003 and will be part of
our demo in SAE Convergence 2012 along with
functional IntelligentCupHolder™
(Patents granted / Patent pending - will be
on display).
The NEW:
At SAE Convergence 2012 we are announcing
iQ-AutoLife™. The product came
together as a result of in-house project
management, software and hardware
engineering by Purdue University-Calumet,
mechanical drawing by Innovate 3D and rapid
prototyping by Wayne State University
Connected Services.
iQ-AutoLife™ is an advanced
version of STMCGateway™ in that it adds:
1.
Life Style component:
Full integration of driver living
necessities into the driving experience
(patent granted – Currently undergoing bench
testing).
2.
Improved
HANDS-ON-WHEEL-Interface™
with iQ-ShortCuts™ to speed up
app selection while driving without causing
an Eyes Off The Road or Hands Off The Wheel
situation. iQ-ShortCuts™ are
colorful and easily recognizable and
easily associable icons that are placed at
10:02 of the steering wheel so they are
within the driver’s line of sight or well
within the driver’s peripheral vision
(patent pending - will be on display).
3.
Improved ThumbGestureInterpretation™
with SureGesture™ and
EasyFlow™ that can guarantee data
entry without causing an Eyes Off The Road
or Hands Off The Wheel situation (patent
pending - will not be displayed)
The items on display will be geared toward
the aftermarket. It will include three
versions with different hardware and
software configurations, namely, iQ-Wheel™,
iQ-Teen™/iQ-Family™ and iQ-Fleet™.
iQ-Wheel™ has an individual account online
while iQ-Teen/iQ-Family has multiple phone
numbers and includes an administrative role
for parents to set up telematics
functionality and maximum speed limit
permitted for the driver.
iQ-Fleet™ will also have an administrator
function as well and will be distinguished
with the ability to control any off the
shelf CB via our Hands On Wheel Interface™
so drivers that use CB radios in places that
ban their use while driving, (e.g. Ontario
or British Columbia) will be able to use
their CB safely and in compliance with their
local laws.
All models will use universal vehicle data
connector that does not rely on vehicle data
bus data. This means vehicles made before
1996 or vehicles that do not have full
complement of necessary data to determine
driver or vehicle workload will still be
able to provide such data by tapping
directly to the analog signals generated by
the vehicle’s sensors.
All models will enable drivers to listen to
preselected news feeds, e-mails, text
messages and reply with pre-set messages
automatically or on demand. Drivers will
also be able to reply with a voice message
via MMS or e-mail attachment.
All functionalities are governed by the
IntelligentAssistant™, so while the
functionalities may seem elaborate, the
deployment and access to the functionalities
is fully governed by the
IntelligentAssistant™ and will not
permit activities under conditions that are
Known AND Likely to Cause Distraction
AND/OR Accidents as compiled by research and
real world data. For example, a driver
cannot engage in multiple activities while
driving. A scenario where a driver is
conversing on the phone and accessing e-mail
simultaneously is forbidden so the system
will not enable the vehicle to be used as a
mobile office, while still allowing
moderated communication and connectivity.
Facebook updates, Twitters and “Social
Media” will not be accessible while
driving.
Counter Distraction Measures; iQ-CDM™ are
in the development pipeline and part of our
granted and pending patents. The system
uses Reflex Distraction™ in reverse
deployment to make sure the driver is not
zoned out from a long conversation or too
tired or drowsy from a long drive. This
version will include application modules for
those that engage is long drives and
excessive conversation due to the nature of
their work. More information about our
complete solutions can be found on
http://iq-telematics.com,
including pre-order forms. For more

Press Release:
Date:
Sunday August 7, 2011
For Immediate Release:
iQ-Telematics™,
a safe telematics solutions company,
with the assistance of the School of
Business Administration (www.sba.oakland.edu)
at Oakland University, conducted a
marketing research survey regarding
driver distraction issues facing us
today and our proposed solution,
iQ-Gateway™.
iQ-Gateway™
is the umbrella to a suite of
proprietary solutions we developed
using our proprietary research.
This investigation stretched over a
decade of observing drivers in their
naturalistic environment. The
result was a breakthrough
understanding that was ahead of its
time when disclosed in 2001 as a
patent pending concept, but recently
we began to find significant
disciplinary support for our
findings in independent research by
other scientists.
|
Our conclusions are best
articulated in the following
definitions of Driver
Distraction Root Causes
:
Reflex Distraction:
Distraction
caused by reflex triggered
by sensory stimuli and is
not controllable by the
driver.
Impulse Distraction:
Distraction caused by
emotional thoughts or
triggered by an
Instinctive Response to
a Reflex Distraction
and maybe controllable
by the driver.
Life Style Distraction:
Willing and systematic
performance of activities
creating dangerous risks (Known
AND / OR Likely to cause
Distraction that
leads to Near Miss,
Accidents and Death).
This is triggered due to
poor education at first, but
then, the behavior is
perpetuated by several
Instinctive Responses.
This type of distraction
creates unnecessary Work
Load and is
controllable by the
driver.

Microloan helps iQ-Telematics
nail down patents
Metromode, 10/5/2010
The
Michigan Microloan Fund Program has
proved essential for iQ-Telematics.
The 1-year-old company recently received
$15,000 from the Ann Arbor SPARK-run
program. It used the seed capital for a
number of items, but most importantly, for
obtaining foreign and domestic patents.
"If we didn't gather money we would have
lost the European or American patents," says
Mouhamad Naboulsi, president of
iQ-Telematics. "We couldn't have done
both at the same time."
The West Bloomfield-based firm, staffed by
nine co-founders, is developing software for
automobiles that can require safer driving
practices, like disabling music and other
extra activities if the driver isn't keeping
two hands on the steering wheel. The idea is
to make the experience safer for motorists,
such as young drivers and people who haul
hazardous waste.
The microloan and assistance from
Ann Arbor SPARK is also helping cover
exhibit costs at trade shows and a market
study of its product. "That should be done
by the end of October," Naboulsi says.

Mouhamad A.
Naboulsi,
president of
West
Bloomfield
Township-based
Applied
Computer
Technologies
Inc., has
been invited
as one of
200 driver
distraction
and human
factors
experts to
attend the
driver
distraction
summit
organized by
federal
Transportation
Secretary
Raymond
LaHood on
Tuesday,
Sept. 21.
This is the
second year
in a row
that this
event takes
place
emphasizing
the DOT and
society
interest in
solving the
driver
distraction
caused by
technology.
“We had a
lot to say
last year
and this
year, we
will display
our
functional
prototype
for all
attendees,”
Naboulsi
said.
Naboulsi
said his
company’s
system is
based on two
decades of
research
through
observations,
focus groups
and market
research. He
believes
that a ban
to prevent
the public
from using
cell phones
while
driving
won’t work.
He said his
research
also showed
that the
public is
not
interested
in just
adding more
technology
to the
vehicle, but
88 percent
of surveyed
drivers said
they ready
for a system
that
actively
protects
drivers from
distraction
and
accidents
caused by
cell phone
and other
in-vehicle
technology.
The
technology,
iQ-Wheel,
was
prototyped
in 2000-02
and received
its first
U.S. patent
in February
2004,
6,731,925
under the
description
of Safe
Telematics
Monitoring
and Control
Gateway,
with nine
more
subjects
pending in
three
patents in
the U.S. and
EU.

Keep both hands on
the wheel; safer
driving with
iQ-Telematics
software
Metromode,
8/5/2010
Mouhamad
Naboulsi has
known for a long
time that the
path to a
smarter, safer
car requires
better software.
It's something
that rings so
true that he
built his West
Bloomfield-based
start-up,
iQ-Telematics,
around it.
The one-year-old
company and its
nine co-founders
are developing
software for
automobiles that
can require
drivers to
practice safer
driving habits,
like disabling
music and other
extra activities
if the driver
isn't keeping
two hands on the
steering wheel.
The idea is to
make the driving
experience safer
for motorists,
such as young
drivers and
people who haul
hazardous waste.
"Your hands will
always be on the
steering wheel,"
Naboulsi says.
The technology
is similar to
what Ford's SYNC
technology did
for the driving
experience a few
years ago. The
difference,
according to
Naboulsi, is the
product will add
an extra layer
of security that
helps ensure
safety for
everyone on the
road. He and his
partners are
currently
working on
raising seed
capital and
getting approval
for their
patents before
commercializing
the product.

Safety while driving and
multitasking. (SHORT Takes) (Brief article)
Source: Rural Telecommunications
Publication Date: 01-MAY-06
Author: Ward, Jesse
COPYRIGHT 2006 National
Telephone Cooperative Association
You've surely experienced
it. Perhaps you've even been the culprit.
Drivers who talk on their cell phones and
appear distracted from the road. Without
question, every driver wants to be safe, but
they also want to maximize the use of their
time and multitask.
To address these new safety issues, a
product is currently in the works to allow
drivers to use their handheld communications
devices without taking their hands off the
wheel, or their eyes off the road. The
STMCGateway will allow the driver to access
his handheld device with a one touch button
on the steering wheel. The driver's handheld
device rests in a cradle that is linked to
the car's network through a combination of
wireless technology and a USB connector. The
cradle works with any make and model of car,
and any type of cell phone, PDA, Blackberry
or other portable device.
The STMCGateway also will provide additional
value-added safety features. It will:
* evaluate the driving conditions, based
upon preset driver preferences, and
determine if it's a good time for a driver
to receive a call or an audible e-mail. If
it's not, the call will be sent directly to
voicemail.
* link with sensors to diagnose the driver's
physical condition, by taking the driver's
heart rate, blood alcohol level and blood
pressure
* contain a programmable memory alarm that
can be set to alert a driver who is involved
with communications activities when he is
approaching certain intersections or traffic
signals

PROMISES TO LIMIT DISTRACTIONS, 03/17/2006
Contents © 2006 Hampton AutoBeat LLC. All

www.autotechdaily.com
Applied Computer Technologies Inc.
(Applikompt) of Bloomfield Hills, Mich.,
says its “safe Telematics monitoring and
control gateway” system can help minimize
driver distraction by controlling the use of
cell phones, PDAs and navigation devices
based on driving conditions and
driver-specific factors. It takes into
account the real-time environment, vehicle
operating history and task management data.
For starters, drivers must have both hands
on the steering wheel to initiate
operations. Incoming calls, for example, are
answered via thumb controls on the steering
wheel. The system will offer to send an
incoming call or audible e-mail into Voice
mail if it’s received during acceleration,
braking or turn signal use—and it can be
programmed to alert a driver already on the
phone when approaching a busy intersection.
Special customization features also can be
added to fit driver preferences and driving
styles. And the system can be linked to
sensors to detect heart rate, blood alcohol
levels, blood pressure or drowsiness.
Applikompt says it is still in the initial
stages of talking with automakers and cell
phone service providers about its
technology. The company plans to debut the
system in the aftermarket starting at about
$200. The software can be hosted on an
existing in-vehicle processor, a portable
aftermarket device or on a remote computer
at a call center.
The company was formed in 1985 by two Wayne
State University students. Over the years,
it has developed several information
technology-based systems.

Assisting the driver
Most road accidents happen when the driver's
mind is not on his driving. There are
two main reasons for this. Either the
driver is not fit for driving. He is drunk,
drugged, on medicine, ill, tired, dement,
mentally disturbed, etc. Or, if he is
perfectly well and alert, he doesn't
concentrate on his driving but on other
things.
The obvious way
to make the roads safer is therefore to
identify and stop those who are not fit to
drive, and to make those who are fit
concentrate on their driving and nothing
else. Fit drivers who keep their hands
10-to-2 or 9-to 3 on the steering wheel,
their eyes on the road and their mind on the
driving very rarely have any accidents.
However, it is very difficult to detect
and do something about drivers not engaged
in their driving. Road safety
authorities and the police can only control
and punish unwanted behavior, mainly the
speed. This brings cash to public
budgets and makes people believe it will
actually solve the problem.
It doesn't. It merely
makes traffic less efficient and
fluent and possibly cause more
accidents, because people believe legal
driving is safe driving and take their minds
off their driving.
Telematic driver control
Telematics offer ways to watch and control
the awareness of a driver. Several
companies work with detectors following the
driver's eyes, registering alcohol or vital
physical functions, etc. Among these are:
-
Renault
works on a system that will warn
drivers falling asleep
-
The Swedish supplier firm Smart
eye
works on a system that follows the
driver vision.
-
Another Swedish supplier, Active
Attention
, works on a system coupling car
control to the human mind and sensorial
functions and surveying these functions.
-
At the Telematics conference in
Gothenburg on June 26 and 27, the
American Innovator Mouhamad R. Naboulsi
showed his electronically controlled
system that makes the car move only if
the driver keeps his hands properly on
the steering wheel and his eyes on the
road. The system can be adjusted
to individual drivers and moved between
cars.

What
do we do?
iQ-TelematicsTM
provides the tools that makes it possible
for drivers to enjoy connectivity safely and
easily with guaranteed Eyes On The Road and
Hands On The Wheel to eliminate driver
distraction due to manual texting, cell phone
calls, e-mailing and browsing.
Our technologies are Patented and Patent pending
in the U.S. and EU. They are the results of more
than two decades Real World Observation
(Naturalistic Driving). They are formulated to
allow connectivity to cell phone voice
communication, texting, e-mail and access to the
web, (but not web browsing).
The difference between our technology and the
"Ad hoc" way drivers access these connectivity
means, is that we structure the experience to
assure Convenience and a Common Sense approach
that will avoid the known causes of in-vehicle
or nomadic technologies.
The difference between our technology and the
way automotive is that we are not aiming for
providing the devices and services, but we aim
to make the devices, the services, the drivers,
the car to work together seamlessly to provide
moderated connectivity and driving under strict
safety rules extracted from real world
historical facts.
Our Technologies will sense a danger and stop
phones before the interrupt the driver. Our
Technologies can guarantee that the drivers
hands are on the wheel and not doing anything
else while talking on the phone or when
listening to e-mail. There is nothing like what
we offer out there and expert that looked at our
prototypes proclaimed it as meet or exceed
existing "guide lines" from multiple regulatory
and authoritative sources. Certification will be
published once completed.
Our Offering is geared toward the most effected
groups in the driver distraction problem.
Starting with the individual driver up to the
largest Commercial and Governmental fleets.
