Used for driver identification. iButton is a patented RFID tag which can be attached to a key chain and carried easily by the drivers. Each driver will carry an iButton which has a unique ID assigned to him. When he drives, he attaches the iButton to the iButton reader fixed on the vehicle dashboard. The driver is then bound to the vehicle and his name will appear in all reports and notifications pertaining to that vehicle.
RFID cards are generally used for passenger identification where a large number of passengers can be issued with cards and they are free to travel in any of the vehicles in the fleet. Whenever a passenger boards, he can tap his card on the reader to register his entry. The time of entry and the vehicle in which he is travelling can all be used in respective reports and notifications. RFID cards can also be used for driver identification.
The dashboard mounted RFID reader is not suitable for trailer identification. For this a heavy duty, rugged RFID reader and RFID tag combination is used. The RFID reader, which is an active and powered device is placed in the trailer head and a passive RFID tag is placed on the trailer. This is attached to the trailer with a length of cable so that it can be extended up to the trailer head and placed on the magnetic base of the reader.
A device with a good and configurable accelerometer is essential for measuring the driving behaviour of drivers. Although many device manufacturers boast of having an accelerometer, the performance and consistency of these basic devices are not sufficient to produce an accurate driving behavior analysis or ranking. A device with a good and configurable accelerometer will cost slightly more than a basic device.
1-Wire Temperature sensors are used with tracking devices to log the temperature of the cargo compartment in case of refrigerated cargo transportation. 1-Wire temperatures are affordable and usually comes with a 0.1 degrees resolution which is sufficient for most monitoring requirements. The cold room construction and power supply availability etc can restrict its implementation due to the limitation of the total network length of the 1-Wire protocol.
These are high precision digital sensors which can provide resolutions upto 0.01 degrees and is therefore more suitable in industries such as Pharmaceuticals where the temperature requirements are more stringent. The protocol allows for a longer cabling length and this can help in situations where the cold room is situated a long way from the control panel. Also multiple sensors can be combined to provide and average temperature of the cold room.
A Controller Area Network (CAN bus) is a robust vehicle bus standard designed to allow microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other without a host computer. Although designed for internal use, the data can be read by tapping into the network. Different vehicle manufacturers use different vehicle bus and standards. Using adaptors which can read these protocols fuel level of the vehicle tank can be obtained.
Certain tracking devices are able to resolve the protocols of some vehicle types and these trackers can be directly connected to the the CAN bus or the OBD-II diagnostic port of the vehicle to read the fuel level of the vehicle tank. But this is possible only in the case of a few supported vehicles. Fuel level readings obtained through CAN bus or OBD are inherently with an error due to low sensitivity of the inbuilt sensor of the vehicle.
Fuel Level Sensors (FLS) are probes that are immersed in the fuel to read the fuel level accurately. Capacitive fuel level sensors lie at the heart of effective fuel monitoring,
empowering fleet operators to monitor fuel consumption, mileage in km per litre and precise fuel levels at any time. Capacitive sensors are highly accurate and reliable, with a long work-life and require zero technical maintenance.
