<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">As ten weeks of Technical
communication lesson is over, I spend some time over the week reflecting about
the module. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Even though ten weeks is </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">insufficient for me,</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"> assignments are given to me like the formal
report, the product summary and the report writing allows me to learn the
importance of writing. The product presentation give me
a chance to improve on my presentation skills and at the same time understand
the importance of a good presentation. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">During the lessons, I got a chance to interact
with my lecturer and my coursemates in different class activities. I
get to understand different people’s working style and it benefited me in my
other modules project as I can communicate well with them. The activity on
introduction to presentation is fun yet challenging as the class is given only 20
minutes to understand three webpages of data and then present it the groups
that we are in. This trains me to do speed reading and to note down the
important points for presentation.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">At the end of this module, I found out
I am still weak in my language as I still make countless of grammatical errors
but thankfully my lecturer has been constantly correcting me. Which motivates
me. He said something which I will never forget. To be a good billiard player, play
more billiard. To improve on my English, i will have to write and read more. After this
module I am going to write and read more during my free time.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 2px 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">The article “GPS Insight Can Meet ‘Out-of-The-Box’
Requirements” introduces the functionality, features, and benefits of GPS
Insight, which primarily provides “asset and vehicle tracking solutions”. The
main function of GPS Insight is to retrieve and relay back data collected to
the user for analysis in real time. The article also states the features of GPS
Insight as “configurable and customizable” according to the user’s requirements
and preferences. Users could set alert and report to add only selected vehicles,
to incorporate specific type of landmarks and user centered versus vehicle
centered results.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>To be able to meet
user’s ever-changing demands and requests, GPS Insight introduces new features
based on user’s response and feedback. Due to GPS Insight’s customizability, it
can perform at different degrees of comprehensiveness, making it a versatile
product.</span></div>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">GPS Insight meets ‘Out-of-The-Box’ requirements in several ways</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">. It is designed to be real time so that the user
gets updated fast.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It is also convenient as it </span><span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">sends data such as stops
and route, and or either through e-mail or SMS to the user. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>It can
perform at different degrees of comprehensiveness like the </span><span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">GPS Insight dashboard,
which can be changed and saved to fit </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">the
user’s constant changing demands and requests. It also provides a two-way
communication among users.</span><br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 2px 0px;">

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><br />
</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">Another similar
product Discrete wireless uses GPS to collect productivity and utilization
information. Besides reducing the costs incurred by fuel usage and cost, waiting
time for the next destination data to arrive causing the vehicle to wait is
also reduced as data is collected GPS insight however doesn’t offer any warranty
which makes Discrete wireless stands out of the similarity they have in common accessible devices
making it very convenient for them. Also, this product allows a two-way
communication between users and those in the office. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span><br />

<div style="margin: 2px 0px;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">Discrete
wireless </span><span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">MARCUS Guard is a warranty plan that is valid for three years
on the vehicle GPS hardware device, which makes Discrete wireless stands out
from GPS insight in its similarities in function. GPS is a sophisticated
product that could malfunction due to its excessive usage. Without a warranty
plan, users will be spending a lot of money try to fix the problem on the
devices even though it’s new.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="margin: 2px 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">All these characteristics seem to demonstrate that GPS insight
would have been a good product like Discrete wireless if they have a warranty
plan to help users in troubleshooting the product if it’s faulty. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Product tied up with warranty would give
customer greater assurance, in the case where their product is in deflect
condition. </span></div>

In an article on "The Evolution of Telematics" (February 2011, by Lauren Fletcher and Grace Suizo) mention about the usage of GPS in their product called "MARCUS Fleet Tracking solution" . This tracking solution is being used to do collect productiveness and usefulness data while cutting down on fuel and other costs. It also reduces the time of vehicle not moving. The tracking solution also use GPS in real time. It allows users to access from either their computer, smartphone or any web accessible devices. Which will keep users updated at a fast speed with the results they wanted. This is to keep up with the times as everyone nowadays have at least a smartphone with them. <br />
One of the example that this product could do is to be able to notify users by sending e-mails on a regular basis for important things. Like the waiting time and the speed of the vehicle. The MARCUS Speed Limit, a real-time notifying function that alerts the manager of the product and the user when the vehicle exceed the speed limit when cruising along the expressway. <br />
There are other product that uses GPS in a creative way but all of them serves the same purpose. Which is to make things convenience for others and to suit the lifestyle users are living.</div>

Introduction of Myself and My Educational Goals and Aims </b><br />
<br />
<br />
Dear Brad,<br />
<br />
<br />
I am Boris Khoo from the telematics class of TLM1010. I am writing this
email to introduce myself and to explain to you about my educational
background, my interests, my goals for studying Telematics and my aims for the
future. <br />
<br />
<br />
Usually when I introduce myself, people would ask me : "Are you a russian"? "Why do you have russian name as your first name?". My reply to them is that I don't look like a russian and I am not a russian. I have a russian name because my parents wanted a unique name for me. Therefore they decided to name me after someone great who's name is Boris Yasin. One of the Russia's president after the cold war ended. <br />
<br />
During my free time I would go for a jog around the park, play sports like
tennis and dodgeball and also trying out new programming software that is
available online. I really enjoy sports as it really bonds people together. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I previously studied electronic and computer engineering in Ngee Ann
Polytechnic, specialised in computer mobile technology. That’s where
I found my interest in programming. Since then I have done a lot of
programming related to the Android platform.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The reason why I joined the telematics course is to find out more about the
current transportation network, driverless cars and how programming could be
used in making transportation better. Also I want to find out about what
is people’s views on the current transportation. So far I find this course
challenging. I was expected to understand the steps to a problem rather than
remembering the solution. I aim to make transportation more user
friendly by using my skills that I will be imparted with.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I hope you would get to know me better after reading this short
introduction.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Yours sincerely,<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Boris Khoo<br />
