Intelligent Construction Vehicle Monitoring Solution

Excavator Edition | Situ System

Industry Background & Challenges

The rapid expansion of urban construction has led to a surge in the number of construction vehicles, exposing critical gaps in their management and maintenance. Most job sites suffer from poor working conditions and limited supervision. To address these issues, Situ System integrates GPS, 4G connectivity, onboard cameras, and smart vehicle applications into a 24/7 monitoring framework, significantly improving operational safety.

This solution is designed to deliver efficient and secure vehicle management. While this document focuses on excavators, the same system has been successfully deployed on rollers, bulldozers, and other construction vehicles, becoming a widely adopted standard in the industry.

Key Pain Points

1. Fuel theft — Vehicles are often parked on remote roadsides or dark construction sites, making them easy targets for fuel theft.

2. Low efficiency — Hourly wage models lack effective supervision, leading to low productivity and passive work behavior.

3. Unsafe operations — Complex machinery requires high driver concentration. There is an urgent need to prevent improper reversing, speeding, phone use, and smoking while driving.

4. Severe wear and tear — Large vehicles operating in tight, complex environments frequently hit objects or personnel. Track damage is especially costly and difficult to repair.

5. Lack of real-time visibility — Fleet managers need instant access to vehicle location, on-site audio/video, and driver status to enforce safety and operational oversight.

Our Solution

By installing a set of 4G wireless cameras on each vehicle, the system provides:

• High-precision GPS/BeiDou positioning

• Real-time audio/video dispatching

• Fuel tank monitoring

• Blind-spot alerts

All data is integrated into a backend cloud platform, enabling intelligent supervision. This solution has been proven on thousands of vehicles worldwide.

Core Features

Fuel Theft Prevention
When parked, the fuel tank camera continues operating via UPS power, streaming live footage to the backend and recording for later review — effectively deterring fuel theft.

Real-Time Video Surveillance
Monitor vehicle interiors and exteriors remotely, view live scenes, and retrieve historical footage to keep track of both vehicle and driver status at all times.

GPS/BeiDou Tracking
Track the real-time location and status of every vehicle, and play back driving routes for any specified time period.

Visual Dispatching
Automatically queue vehicles and visualize their status (en route or on site) for each job site. This eliminates the randomness of manual dispatching and improves fleet utilization.

Driver Identification
Cameras inside the cab perform facial matching against an authorized database, preventing unauthorized driver substitutions.

Precision Operation Assistance
For high-risk or high-precision tasks, a camera mounted on the boom helps the driver operate more accurately, improving both quality and safety.
