INSERT AN APPROPRIATE TITLE HERE
INTRODUCTION
In todays modern society within New Zealand we rely heavily on motor vehicles on our
main source of transport as it is easier and more efficient. With a high number of cars within
New Zealand it makes accidents occuring on the roads more often and easier than in the
earlier years. It is said that during 2005, it was estimated to be about six cars for every 10
people thus making New Zealand on the top 3 list for the highest rate of car ownership in
the world - http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/cars-and-the-motor-industry. Majority of road accidents
within New Zealand is caused by the issue of speeding as stated by - (National Center for
Statistics and Analysis). Currently, New Zealand is using information systems to implement
speed cameras and social media by showing the impacts of speeding, however these
methods do not eliminate the problem of speeding but rather give New Zealanders an
insight around the reasons why they should avoid speeding. The GPS Speed Stopper is a GPS
system which will be implemented into all New Zealand vehicles by law during their WoF
and then updated during all their WoFs after it has been installed within the vehicle to
ensure that the GPS Speed Stopper holds all current roads and speed limits. Our solution is
better than ones currently implemented as it eliminates the problem of speeding. Although
crashes will still occur due to travelling at the speed limit, the impact of the crash will be
minimized as the vehicle will be travelling at the correct speed limit.
3. BUSINESS SECTION
3.1 Vision
Our aim is to utilize the GPS Speed Stopper to make the world a safer place by eliminating
the dangers of speeding.
3.2 Industry Analysis: Speed Law Enforcement
Industry: Speed Law Enforcement. Our solution falls into the Speed Law Enforcement
industry as it will be a law to have the GPS Speed Stopper implemented into cars to
eliminate the problem of speeding.

Force: High/
Low:
Justification:
Buyer power: Low
Buyer power for our solution is low as any regulations
stated by any type of law enforcement industry must
be followed. New Zealanders do not have a choice to
obey the speed limits or any other speed related laws
stated by the speed law enforcement industry as
their regulations are mandatory. For example, during
holiday periods, legal speed limits are lowered for
any period of time by the speed law enforcement
industry without giving New Zealand drivers a choice
to obey their new laws.

=1&objectid=11162903
Supplier power: High
Supplier power is high for our product is high as our
solution is a product which requires advanced
technology, therefore limits our supplier options
down.
Threat of new entrants: Low Threat of new entrants for our industry is low as
there will be minimal/no possibilities for a new speed
law enforcement to be operated within New Zealand
as there is only able to be one speed law
enforcement industry within one country.
Threat of substitutes: Low
Threat of substitutes for our solution is low as all
previous attempts used so far has not eliminated
speeding related crashes as stated by
(http://www.nzta.govt.nz/resources/crash-analysis-
reports/docs/auckland-2011.pdf) there is a high
number of speed related crashes within New Zealand.
With our solution needing highly advanced
technology it will be strongly difficult for many
companies to try and replicate or make a product
similar to the GPS Speed Stopper

Rivalry among existing
competitors:
Low Rivalry amongst existing companies is low/none and
there is only one speed law enforcement industry
within New Zealand
Overall attractiveness of the industry: Regardless of the current attempts implemented to
stop speeding, the GPS Speed Stopper is different and effective as it physically stops the
driver from being able to speed thus eliminating the issue of speeding within New Zealand.
Therefore, our solution is better than current solutions implemented.
3.3 Customers and Thei r Needs
All WoF providers such as AA and VTNZ are potential customers for the GPS Speed Stopper
as they will be responsible for installing the GPS Speed Stopper into New Zealand vehicles
and updating the database of the GPS Speed Stopper in order to ensure that the system is
functioning correctly and up to date. WoF providers must ensure that the vehicle which they
are applying the WoF for must be up to standard and is operating within the safety
regulations of New Zealand. With the GPS Speed Stopper, the danger of speeding will be
eliminated thus making New Zealand roads safer and providing a safer country for all New
Zealanders.
3.4 The Product and Service

The GPS Speed Stopper will eliminate speeding within New Zealand which is one of the
major contributions to New Zealand deaths along with contributing to 31% of all fatal
crashes (2007) as stated by - http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/Pubs/810998.pdf. Drivers will
not be able to speed over the legal speed limit as the GPS Speed Stopper will track the
vehicles location via satellite (normal function of a GPS), comparing the legal speed limit of
the location the vehicle is in and the travelling speed of the vehicle, the GPS Speed Stopper
will then decide if it is appropriate to gently apply the brakes to slow down the vehicle. This
therefore will eliminate the problem of speeding
3.5 Suppliers and Partners

5


5
Suppliers accosiating with the GPS Speed Stopper would highly likely be countries such as
Japan and Korea as they are more advanced in technology compared to New Zealand.
http://www.thetoptens.com/high-tech-countries/ states New Zealand is not one of the top
10 technology advanced countries. As our solution is complex in terms of technology it will
be only achievable to create the GPS Speed Stopper in technology advanced countries.
Partners which will be assoicated with the GPS Speed Stopper includes WoF suppliers as
they will be the ones implementing the GPS Speed Stopper in to New Zealand vehicles and
enuring the GPS database is up to date
3.6 Strategy: Low Cost
The GPS Speed Stoppers cost strategy would be low cost as the installation and
maintenance of the GPS Speed Stopper will be funded by the government as the GPS Speed
Stopper will be a part of the New Zealand vehicle safety regulations. The main objective of
our product is not to earn profit but rather to ensure that New Zealand roads are safer with
the elimination of speeding. Our product has a broad market as it will be implemented into
all New Zealand vehicles. Since New Zealand is one of the highest countries in the world
with car ownership this gives our product a broad market. The overall strategy is therefore
Low Cost
3.7 Value Chain Activity: Service

The most important value chain activity for the GPS Speed Stopper is Service, this is because
the GPS Speed Stopper is a product focusing on ensuring that the problem of speeding is
eliminated. To ensure that this service is provided at its full potential the GPS database will
be updated to ensure the data of all the current roads and their speed limits are located on
the database during the service of WoF. These updates are vital to ensure that the GPS
Speed Stopper is operating effectively and fulfilling the purpose it was designed for.

3.8 Business Processes
3.8.1. OPERATI ON OF THE GPS SPEED STOPPER PROCESS

6


6
The operation of the GPS Speed Stopper is a vital process as it must follow a specific process
to ensure that it is working. Once the vehicle is started, the GPS Speed Stopper will then
start functioning. The GPS Speed Stopper will compare the speed of the vehicle is travelling
in comparison to the legal speed limit of the current location via satellite. If the vehicle is
travelling over the speed limit, the GPS Speed Stopper will then gently trigger the brakes
thus slowing the vehicle down to the legal speed limit. This process is then repeated until
the vehicle is turned off.

3.8.2. GPS SPEED STOPPER UPDATE PROCESS
To ensure that the GPS Speed Stopper is functioning effectively it is necessary for the
database chip of the GPS Speed Stopper to be updated during each WoF service. This is to
ensure that the GPS Speed Stopper contains current roads and legal speed limits. The WoF
provider will dispatch the database chip from the GPS Speed Stopper and insert it into a
computer system. If the data within the chip does not contain all current roads and legal
speed limits, the WoF provider will then run the GPS Speed Stopper update software. One
completed, the chip will be re-inserted into the GPS Speed Stopper.

3.9 Functionalities
3.9.1. OPERATI ON OF THE GPS SPEED STOPPER PROCESS
GPS Speed Stopper will collect the legal speed limit of the vehicles location
via satellite and then compare it to the current travelling speed of the vehicle
If the speed being travelled is over the speed limit, the GPS Speed Stopper
will trigger the brakes to slow the vehicle down to the legal speed limit
3.9.2. GPS SPEED STOPPER PROCESS
Remove database chip from GPS Speed Stopper and insert into computer
system
Commence update software if database does not hold all current roads and
speed limits
3.10 Systems

3.10. 1. KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Knowledge management systems is related to my business process 1 as the GPS Speed
Stopper compares the speed of the vehicle with the legal speed limit and then makes an
effective decision to apply the brakes to slow down the car or not. Without this knowledge
system, the GPS Speed Stopper would not know when to apply the brakes to slow the
vehicle down.
3.10. 2. COLLABORATI ON SYSTEM
Collaboration system is related to my business process 1 as the GPS Seed Stopper contains a
chip storing data of current roads and speed limits (IT-based set of tools). When the GPS
Speed Stopper compares the speed the vehicle is travelling at and the legal speed limit of
the location it will then work with other parts of the vehicle (braking system) if the vehicle is
speeding.
3.10. 3. CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Content managemt systems is related to my business process 2 as the GPS Speed Stoppers
database chip must be able to store all New Zealand roads and speed limits. The chip must
be able to be edited/updated during each WoF to ensure it contains all roads and speed

limits. The GPS Speed Stopper then collaborates with the brakes if the vehicle is driving over
the legal speed limit.

CONCLUSION
With such a high car ownership rate within New Zealand it emphaises on the high risks of
car crashes from occuring on New Zealand roads. Speeding is a high contributer to the fatal
crashes within New Zealand as stated by http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/Pubs/810998.pdf.
Methods such as speed cameras currently implemented within New Zealand is not an
effective solution to stop speeding as they are operated in all locations and some drivers do
not mind simply paying a fine. With the GPS Speed Stopper being implemented into cars it
will eliminate the issue of speeding as the driver cannot drive over the speed limit thus
making New Zealand roads safer and making our country safer overall
