548 Advantech has announced the TREK-550, an industrial in-vehicle dedicated box computer. When placed in transport trucks, buses, vehicle fleets and taxis, the device can be connected to a variety of monitoring systems, including OnBoard Diagnostics (OBD-II), a Car Area Network (CAN) and Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS). Built-in wireless communications (WWAN, WLAN, Bluetooth) allow TREK-550 to send data back to a central site, as well as to receive over-the-air (AOTA) updates and communicate with central dispatch. The unit is ISO 7637/SAE J1455 Class A/SAE J1113 certified and is able to operate in extreme temperatures and transient power conditions.

The dual-audio and video outputs allow independent displays such as the TREK-303 to be attached, providing in-cab or passenger display applications.

    Wireless bridges widen options for ITS upgrades
    Antaira Technologies’ marketing engineer Brian Roth explains why the increasing capacity of wireless bridges is reducing the cost of expanding and upgrading ITS networks.
