On-board Trip Monitoring Equipment Package

Architecture Geographic Scope

Description:

This Equipment package provides the capabilities to support fleet management with automatic vehicle location and automated mileage and fuel reporting and auditing. This package may also record other special events resulting from communication with roadside equipment. This includes only the equipment on board the vehicle to support this function including the vehicle location devices such as GPS equipment, communication interfaces, a processor to record trip length, and the sensors/actuators/interfaces necessary to record mileage and fuel usage.

 

Included in:

Commercial Vehicles

Processes:

2.1.5Provide Commercial Vehicle Driver Routing Interface
2.2.2Provide Vehicle Static Route
2.2.4Provide Commercial Vehicle Driver Communications
2.4.1Communicate Commercial Vehicle On-board Data to Roadside
2.4.2Collect On-board Commercial Vehicle Sensor Data
2.4.3Analyze Commercial Vehicle On-board Data
2.4.4Provide Commercial Vehicle Driver Interface
2.4.5Communicate Commercial Vehicle On-board Data to Vehicle Manager
