Transportation with LAVA

While there are a variety of hardware and software options when managing tablets for in-vehicle taxi POS solutions, few can match a LAVA adapter’s ability to act as a hub allowing simultaneous power and data transfer as plug-and-play solutions. Transdev has used LAVA tablet adapters to implement a variety of different POS solutions for taxis. These extend the functionality of the in-vehicle Samsung tablet to provide simultaneous charging and data transfer to not only the tablet itself, but also connected USB peripherals such as card readers for mobile fare payment.

LAVA's connected forklift application offers a vibration-resistant Samsung Tab Active 2 solution that can be mounted directly to the forklift, power the device via the fork truck battery (optional), and connect up to 3 USB accessories, such as a barcode scanner, NFC reader or full QWERTY keyboard. The tablet connectivity is powered by LAVA’s USB-C nSynC adapters which enable simultaneous charging and data connectivity. A heavy-duty and secure tablet mounting with a forklift clamp is provided by Proclip, and a ruggedized Samsung Tab Active 2 is used as a friendly user interface for operators and a complex data collection tool. The rugged all-in-one solution is designed for forklifts, pallet jacks, or other warehouse tools. The same mounting can also be used as a stationary wall tablet application with enabled Ethernet/PoE connectivity for even more secure and reliable data collection.

The VC-OEM charges your smartphone straight from your motorcycle, with no separate battery packs or charging breaks required. The only additional requirement for this system is a single mobile device mount, placed on the motorcycle dashboard to hold your smartphone. This integrates easily with the VC-OEM for accessible and convenient charging. This setup also allows easy access to your smartphone functions like LTE data plans, GPS/navigation applications, media players, phone calls, and more to enhance your riding experience. You can therefore use your mounted smartphone as a convenient substitute to a dedicated third-party device such as a standalone GPS. The VC-OEM is a univeral board-only adapter that contains a built-in DC-DC voltage converter that can take a power input of 9-36 volts and steps it down to 5 volts for use with the phone.

Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) developed the Connected Vehicle Pilot in collaboration with Nearera Consulting. It would use vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure and infrastructure-to-vehicle connectivity to improve reporting of I-80’s road conditions. Powered by a LAVA adapter, the Samsung tablet-based system would provide a flexible range of services. Some of these include: road condition information, front-end collision threats, work zone alerts and distress calls from connected vehicles.
