dasa5, control and communications systems

The aim with the development of this system has been to manage and control all electrically commanded equipment in a vehicle, such as transmission, engine and direction indicators, and at the same time create a powerful information storage centre for vehicle data for use within analyses, statistics and telematics.

Characteristics

• A distributed system with small, intelligent nodes which provide for flexible, simple and cost-effective installations.
• High operational reliability.
• Can be co-ordinated with other CAN-based systems in a vehicle, e.g. diesel engines via J1939 or other protocols.
• Storage of selected operational data combined with event-steered data logging.
• Wireless or Ethernet communications for updating, service, support or transfer of operational data.
• Language handling through a separate language database.
• Driver log-in with driver-specific authorization, language, and settings.
• Open and flexible system solution using standard WIN CE platform.
• Powerful and simple development tool for configuring, writing control logic, and constructing user interface for the MMI display unit.
