Products · Driver ID & Disable Module

Know who's driving. Not just what moved.

Sensium's Driver ID module connects via Plug & Play to TRACKbox TB2. Know who's driving your vehicles and how they're being driven. Ideal when fleet vehicles are used by more than one employee.

30 minutes, scoped to Driver ID on your fleet. No sales script.

Chain of Responsibility

Driver ID is the difference between 'a vehicle moved' and 'this person drove this vehicle on this date at this speed.' The latter is what regulators, insurers, and HR processes actually need. Driver ID + TRACKbox + Sensium Connect makes Chain of Responsibility evidence automatic.

Why fleet managers deploy Driver ID & the Disable Module

Four operational outcomes.

A fleet of shared council vehicles parked at a depot, used by multiple drivers.

Driver ID

Know who's driving. Not just what moved.

Accountability

Every trip, attributed.

Driver ID provides precise tracking of vehicle usage, attributing each trip to a specific driver. This accountability ensures drivers are more conscientious about their habits, knowing their actions are linked to their ID. Such transparency leads to improved driving behaviour, reducing the likelihood of accidents and vehicle misuse.

Per-trip data captured

  • Driver identity (RFID card / fob)
  • Trip start, end, duration
  • Route driven (with True Path telemetry)
  • Driver behaviour (speed, braking, acceleration)

Operational uses

Driver scorecards, maintenance scheduling, fuel-consumption analysis by driver, mileage-based service alerts, and behaviour-improvement coaching. The data feeds into the same Sensium Connect reports as every other telemetry source.

Fleet efficiency

Better data, better decisions.

Driver ID generates detailed reports on vehicle usage patterns. These insights help you optimise vehicle allocation, maintenance schedules, and fuel consumption - reducing your operational costs. Identifying high-mileage drivers can prompt timely vehicle servicing, preventing unexpected breakdowns.

Authorised use only

Stop unauthorised driving.

With Driver ID installed, only authorised personnel can start the vehicle — safeguarding the fleet against theft and misuse. If an unauthorised access attempt is made, the system can alert you in real time. In the event of an incident, the system provides critical data for investigations and insurance claims.

Security outcomes

Block unauthorised drivers

Vehicle only starts for authorised IDs

Real-time alerts

On unauthorised access attempts

Incident evidence

Forensic log for investigations / claims

Disable Module

Hardware-level engine disable. Encrypted two-way channel with acknowledgement. Triggered from Sensium Connect or the API. Re-enable when the vehicle is recovered or the issue is resolved.

Disable Module

Hardware kill switch, two-way acknowledged.

The Disable Module is a hardware-based kill switch that can remotely disable equipment or a vehicle's starter from any location. When connected to TRACKbox TB2, it uses an encrypted two-way data connection with acknowledgement — so you know the command was received and actioned, not just sent into the void. Accessed from the Sensium Connect app or the API.

Frequently asked

Driver ID & Disable Module questions.

Question 01

What is a Driver ID module and how does it work?

A Driver ID module is installed in the vehicle to identify and authenticate the driver before the vehicle is used. It uses RFID staff cards or fobs to log each driver and link their activity to a unique ID. Plug & Play to the TRACKbox TB2.

Question 02

What identification methods are supported?

RFID-based identification using staff ID cards (most standard staff cards work — check with us) or Sensium-supplied fobs. We support both depending on what your organisation already issues to staff.

Question 03

How does Driver ID enhance accountability?

Every trip is linked to a specific driver. Drivers know their actions are tracked, which encourages more responsible behaviour and reduces vehicle misuse. In the event of an incident, the system provides clear data for investigations and insurance claims.

Question 04

How is this different from just GPS tracking?

GPS tracking tells you which vehicle moved. Driver ID tells you who was driving the vehicle when it moved. The two together give you Chain of Responsibility evidence — critical for compliance with corporate, regulatory, and safety obligations.

Question 05

What does the Disable Module do?

The Disable Module is a hardware-based kill switch — it prevents the vehicle starter from operating until re-enabled from Sensium Connect or via the API. When paired with TRACKbox, it uses an encrypted two-way connection with acknowledgement to ensure the command was received and actioned.

Question 06

Can Driver ID work for vehicles other than cars?

Yes — any shared vehicle. Cars, lawn mowers, yellow plant, buses, jet skis, trucks, agricultural equipment. If a vehicle has a TRACKbox TB2 installed, it can take the Driver ID module.

Question 07

What are installation requirements?

Plug & Play installation onto an existing TRACKbox TB2. Professional install recommended for the card reader placement and any wiring routing. Minimal maintenance — occasional software updates and visual checks.

Question 08

Can Driver ID use our existing staff access cards?

In most cases, yes. Driver ID is RFID-based and works with most standard staff ID cards, so drivers can use the card they already carry — check with us on your specific card type. Where staff cards are not suitable, Sensium can supply fobs instead.

Question 09

Does Driver ID help with insurance and incident investigations?

Yes. Because every trip is linked to a specific driver, the system provides clear evidence of who was driving when an incident occurred. Combined with TRACKbox telemetry, that gives a forensic record for investigations, insurance claims, and Chain of Responsibility obligations.

Question 10

Where is the Driver ID trip data stored?

Driver ID attribution feeds into the same Sensium Connect reports as every other telemetry source. Sensium Connect is hosted on Google Cloud Australian infrastructure, with all customer data - Australian and New Zealand - on Australian servers, encrypted in transit and at rest.
