Au Truck / Bus Fleet Management System (FMS) Interpreter

Au FMS interpreters are designed dedicated for the European truck and bus telematics market. All devices have the FMS CAN network signal as the input, and output an ASCII sting at the EIA-232 interface. The ASCII data string is human readable and it can be relayed to a GSM/GPRS/satellite modem (with serial input), which eventually send the truck and bus real-time data to a web server and have those message processed and saved in a hosted database. This family of FMS interpreter products support the parameters defined by the latest FMS-Standard and Bus FMS-Standard. The family consists of four different editions. A low cost MCU (micro-controller unit) chip solution (integrated circuits) can also be provided for OEM clients and telematics integrator.
