Public transport monitoring
Solutions for buses and coaches
Sectoral characteristics
For public transport, such as city buses and coaches, companies usually use different computer programs and software to analyze traffic and route and track the position of every bus. These systems help dispatchers to provide the highest quality services, plan optimal route and ammount of vehicles on the road at a certain time. Telematics can be used to add additional information for the entire system, such as data on the actual fuel consumption and engine workload at different time intervals and route. Number of passengers and axle load on the vehicle can be checked with the addition of load control on the axle.
Advantages of the applied solutions
Telematics offers more opportunities to optimize bus fleet operations by collecting accurate data on the fuel consumption of each vehicle, tracking engine load peaks and determining the potential risk of misuse of fuel. Engine diagnosis can be performed remotely. Axle load monitoring can be used to monitor the load of each vehicle and decide on the possible optimization of routes and time, depending on the volume of passengers.
Required equipment
Can be integrated into GPS tracking systems
DUT-E fuel level sensor
DUT-E fuel level sensor shows the exact amount of fuel in the tank, monitors fuel consumption and detects fuel theft.
- Information about fuel level
- Fuel theft detection (from the tank)
- Fuelling and draining monitoring
- Measurement of indirect consumption
DFM fuel flow meter
DFM fuel flow meter allows to monitor real consumption, calculate fuel costs, monitor hours of operation and detect fuel theft.
- Real fuel consumption measurement
- Fuel theft detection (from the fuel line)
- Monitoring of engine load and operating time
- Engine diagnostics
GNOM axle load sensor
GNOM provides weight control of cargo, prevents overloading of the vehicle, can be used on special equipment. Allows vehicle fleet owners to obtain complete information about loading operations.
- Actual load weight monitoring
- Detecting of hidden load
- Preventing fines for overloading
Crocodile contactless reader
CAN / 1708Crocodile measures fuel volume in tank, fuel consumption and operating hours. The data flow is constant and does not interrupt the integrity of the electronic system.
- Contactless secure connection with the CAN/J1708 bus.
- Data collection from standard vehicle sensors: fuel consumption, fuel level, operation time and etc. (see the specifications of J1939 and J1708).
Mastercan vehicle data interface
MasterCAN vehicle data interface measures fuel volume in tank using standard sensors (CANbus and 1708bus).
- Safe acquisition of signals from Crocodile contactless reader.
- Processing of all signals available from standard automotive sensors: fuel consumption, fuel level, operating time and others (see the specifications of J1939 and J1708).
- Can be used with a tracking device that does not have a CAN port.
