SevenEye^® – Vehicle tracking

[hr]

Southern Sales & Services supply the latest in vehicle tracking . SevenEye^® allows you to remotely monitor the temperature of your cargo in real-time from any browser or smartphone. You can choose to receive immediate email and SMS alerts for out of range temperatures, switch events and power losses.

In short you’ll know if there’s a problem with your cargo before your customer does and have the time to do something about it. The system also allows you to interrogate TranScan^® data loggers remotely and store/access live and historical temperature data.

As well as total temperature control there’s also the usual stuff you would expect from an online vehicle tracking system. SevenEye^® is the most comprehensive vehicle tracking and remote temperature monitoring system in todays market, making it also your first choice for dry freight vehicle and trailer tracking.

Clear easy to read reports for both current and historic data. GPS location tracking on a live map overlay Key Driver Performance indicators like harsh braking, over revving and fuel economy. Current and historic routing reports.

A Guide to Trailer EBS and CANbus

[hr]

We have created this document to explain Seven Telematics’ capability for retrieving and presenting data read from a trailer’s EBS CANbus, and transmitted to the SevenEye® system via Seven Telematics’ trackers.

[hr_shadow]

1.0 Introduction

[hr]

This document explains Seven Telematics’ capability for retrieving and presenting data read from a trailer’s EBS CANbus, and transmitted to the SevenEye® system via Seven Telematics’ trackers.

[hr_shadow]

2.0 CANbus Information

[hr]

The CANbus information that’s available and which is of use within SevenEye®, is categorised as follows:

[hr_shadow]

2.1 Operational

[hr]

• Trailer weight
• A single value that represents the static vertical load of the whole trailer and its load (e.g. 10,500 KGs)

[hr_shadow]

2.2 Maintenance

[hr]

• Electrical Supply Sufficient/Insufficient
• Indicates whether the actual supply voltage is sufficient or insufficient for proper function of the brake

[hr]

• Automatic Braking Active
• Indicates whether the trailer’s pneumatic service brakes have failed and that the spring brakes have automatically been applied

[hr]

• Amber Warning Light Request
• Indicates whether the trailer has activated the amber trailer fault warning light in the cab (EBS manufacturer specific)

[hr]

• Red Warning Light Request
• Indicates whether the trailer has activated the red trailer fault warning light in the cab (EBS manufacturer specific)

[hr]

• Pneumatic Supply Pressure
• The supply pressure of the compressed air in the brake system, (e.g. 870 kPa)

[hr]

• Pneumatic Supply Pressure Sufficient/Insufficient
• Whether the EBS thinks the supply pressure (above) is sufficient or sufficient to run the brakes properly

[hr_shadow]

2.3 Driver Style

[hr]

• ABS Active
• The number of times the ABS has been activated can be counted, indicating how often the driver has braked hard enough to lock the wheels

[hr_shadow]

3.0 Supported EBS’s

[hr]

The following EBS’s can be considered for interfacing to via Seven Telematics’ trackers:

• Haldex EB+ Gen 2 (2011 onwards) or Gen 3
• Wabco Type E
• Knorr-Bremse TEBS G2

[hr_shadow]

4.0 EBS Port

[hr]

[hr]

For this solution to work, there needs to be a spare port supplying CANbus on
the EBS system, to plug a tracker connection into. Typically there is only
one suitable port and it’s possible that for any given trailer it is already in use.

An example of a CANbus port (with blanking plug inserted) on a Haldex EB+ Gen 2 EBS is circled in red here:

[hr_shadow]

5.0 EBS Configuration

[hr]

For Haldex EBS systems, an EBS system parameter that is off by default needs to be
turned on for this solution to work. A Haldex technician can do this. This may also be the case with Wabco and Knorr-Bremse systems.

6.0 Integration within SevenEye®

[hr]

6.1 SevenEye® Sensor Data

[hr]

EBS weight data can be seen on the SevenEye® Sensor Data page:

[hr]
[hr]

A threshold line is shown for the 24 Tonne limit for trailers.

An over-weight email or SMS alert can be set up if required

[hr_shadow]

6.2 SevenEye® Daily Trailer Activity Report

[hr]

Other EBS data is presented within the SevenEye® Daily Trailer Activity Report, in conjunction with GPS data and TranScan® data:

[hr]

[hr]

7.0 Explanatory Notes

[hr]

• Distance
• This is the total distance travelled by the trailer for the day, as measured by GPS calculations.

[hr]

• Utilisation
• This is the duration between the first Journey Start of the day and the last Journey End of the day, divided into 24 hours, and expressed as a percentage.

[hr]

• Empty Running
• This is calculated using the total trailer weight value provided via the tracker’s CANbus connection to trailer’s EBS.
• All weight readings are used from when the trailer was in journeys, and the number of weight readings greater than 6,000 Kgs (=> loaded) is divided into the total number of weight readings.
• The resulting percentage is %Loaded, and 100 minus that figure is %Unloaded.

[hr]

• Temperature
• All readings from TranScan temperature probes for the day are shown here.

[hr]

• Weight
• All trailer weight readings from the tracker’s CANbus connection to the trailer’s EBS are shown here.

[hr]

• Journey Log
• This lists all journeys for the day that were at least 1 mile long. The latest temperatures and weight at the time of each Journey End are included.

[hr]

• EBS Monitoring
• This section shows the most meaningful data available via the tracker’s CANbus connection to the trailer’s EBS (i.e. in addition to weight). It is understood that this data is available for each of the latest Haldex, Wabco & Knorr-Bremse EBSs.
• The EBS Monitoring values are colour-coded green, amber & red, to indicate whether a value implies: normal running (green), a warning situation (amber) or a definite problem (red).

[hr]

• Amber Warning Light Activations
• EBS systems have the ability to signal an amber warning light in the towing tractor unit. This value counts the number of amber warning light activations for the day.

[hr]

• Red Warning Light Activations
• EBS systems have the ability to signal a red warning light in the towing tractor unit. This value counts the number of red warning light activations for the day.

[hr]

• Electrical Supply Sufficient
• This value indicates whether the EBS thinks the electrical supply voltage to the EBS is sufficient to operate the trailer’s brakes correctly.

[hr]

• Pneumatic Supply Pressure
• This is the average pneumatic supply pressure reading read from the EBS whilst the trailer was in journeys.

[hr]

• Pneumatic Supply Pressure Sufficient
• This value indicates whether the EBS thinks pneumatic supply pressure is sufficient to operate the trailer’s brakes correctly.

[hr]

• ABS Activations
• This value counts the number of times the antilock brakes were engaged during the day, to prevent its wheels from locking whilst braking.
• Note that the first 5 metrics above are maintenance related, whereas the last is an indication of driver style.
