Modern vehicles have various electronic control units (ECU) such as the engine control unit, transmission, airbags, antilock braking and many more. These systems communicate using the Controller Area Network bus (CANbus), much like a modern computer network.
To improve vehicle fleet performance; Trakm8 have developed advanced technology to connect into the CANbus system using the vast amount of data available. By monitoring driver behaviour, gear usage, acceleration, harsh braking, fuel usage, CO2 emissions and vehicle fault codes, the Trakm8 T8 CAN enabled solution is able to reduce overall costs of running vehicle fleets and also improve driver safety.
Fuel theft is also a problem with some fleets, and CAN-bus monitoring of the fuel volume before and after a journey can help to deter unauthorized losses.
Trakm8 have the technology to obtain precise engine and emission data by connecting to the vehicle CANbus. This can enable a wide range of information to be monitored.
