About AVL
Introduction
The upcoming generation intelligent transportation systems (ITS) require remote access and real-time management of corporate fleet vehicle and vehicle rental services. To name a few features – In-vehicle position tracking, locating, navigation, theft security, … etc. The expansion of internet had moved the ITS services to another era of mobility – mobile communication. The quest and counts for more information have made transporting business, a life to share the resources more efficiently, and bring us closer to a manageable style of living.
DM&P has managed to keep in pace with advancement of ITS, offering enhancement of hardware platform that provides connection to In-vehicle networking to monitor automotive performance. It is understandable that in Intelligent Fleet management – any vehicle equipped with the AVL75 solution can well extend its performance over the line of its duty: enhancement of application software brings GPRS/GSM + OBD-II + GPS + WIFI to a more solid consolidation of mobile communication and manageable real-time data collection, while withholding all information in the database, an automotive blackbox of the individual and his companion vehicle.
Technical Information
The term AVL is known as Automatic, or Automated Vehicle Locator. It is sometimes also popularly known as Auto Vehicle Locator System (AVL), wherein “Auto” is a short cut term for Automatic.
DM&P is offering AVL75 (Auto Vehicle Locator System), this telematic device is a highly integration of 4-in-1 hardware unit which consists of the following hardware component:
• Embedded Vortex86 computer/computing system
• 4-band GPRS communication module or any other type of communication module.
• 24 GPS Global Satellite Positioning Receiver devices
• 5-in-1 Automobile/Vehicle/Car OBD2 real-time diagnosis system.
Note: There are 24 geostationary satellites orbiting the globe at an elevation of 11,000 miles.
Aside from the above features , the embedded WinCE O/S is the primary core and principal open source control software.
At present, this type of AVL with the above stated hardware features, is widely used in the vehicle transporting market; hence t'was the most advanced vehicle carrying locator (and also it is known as the automobile black box). The AVL will be the best weapon for future supervisor monitoring and management of the business transporting and public vehicles enterprising.
OBD-II Interface
As mentioned in the above, the OBD-II interface for automobile diagnosis is available in the United States since January 1, 1996 From this date, all cars and light trucks built and sold were required to be OBD II compliant (equipped). To identify if your vehicle is OBD II equipped, check for (1)OBD II connector as shown in Figure 1 below, and (2)sticker note or nameplate under the hood indicating: "OBD II compliant". For more info, see Data sheet.
Features
DM&P AVL product offer the following:
1. Automatic supervision monitoring of the automobile engine start-up – if the engine starts, the AVL will then automatically starts the inbound control system to make the surveillance and the record movement. The AVL here is referred to as AVL75 from then on.
2. After the automobile engine stops, the AVL turns off the control system. The length of time for the machine or system to be turn-off is software adjustable. This to prevent short stops phenomenon and abnormal unloading/loading of cargo.
3. May record the Vehicle GPS utilizing the global satellite positioning information, the recording precision is highly accurate up to one second at a time.
4. In our Memory design using Flash + NVSRAM, this helps extend the life of the Flash registers for recording, surpassing the life usage of over 10 years.
5. The GPRS communication Module has 4- band frequencies 850/900/1800/1900 supporting the TCP/IP communication protocol, enabling the monitoring program platform for easy application development.
6. Complete integrity supporting J1850PWM / J1850VPWM / KWP2000 / KWP1281 / ISO9141-2 (with the exclusion of CAN BUS), a total of 5 kinds of OBD2 immediate realtime automobile diagnosis hardware interface and breakdown diagnosis code.
7. May establish wake-up time setting or remote control awakening supervisory monitoring, enabling to keep track of the vehicle position at any time.
8. It constitutes with the constructs of onboard 4 groups of belts with light partner isolation for the input of the specific/specified monitor contact, this is utilize to detect the compartment or the vehicle door when it opens.
9. It constructs another onboard 4 groups of belts light partner isolation for the output of the specific control contact, this output may utilize to provide reports to the police.
10. Provides connection to outside communication, using a group of external standard RS232 interface, enabling the manual installation for expansion of devices.
11. Provides lamp indication for status condition on PWR / SAVE / GPS / GPRS / OBD2 / SLEEP LED.
12. Supports the input source range from DC 8V ~ DC 36V, suits different types of big and small vehicles.
13. Emergency microphone (MIC) / messenger call communication design.
14. Provides connection to outside storage, using external USB device for storage of transmission medium, or using the GPRS communication transmission, or the downloading of updated software.
15. Provides connection to DVI port monitor, or extended LVDS interface to LCD monitor, for the demonstration and display of electronic map and DVD broadcast.
16. Onboard 1 set of external connection to K Type temperature sensing device, in order to detect and keep track of the temperature of the freezer compartment.
17. Operating temperature range is from -30 to +70 o C. (Also available in Wide temperature version: -40 to +85 o C).
18. Volume Size Dimension 140mm X 98mm X 36mm.
