Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Firms
Garnet Instruments Ltd.
$450,000.00
Development of hardware interface modules and software stack interoperable with Transport Truck ELDs
FY 2019-20 · 2019-04-01
Summary
The US government mandate that all transport trucks be equipped with an Electronic Logging Device (ELD) presents a unique opportunity to offer value added abilities above the mandated vehicle-specific dynamic data collection and storage. Fleet companies also want to monitor the cargo their trucks are carrying, and desire a single portal to that data. The ELD is the obvious portal. This project fulfills this market need by developing an automated control platform to capture and convey cargo level/volume and data/measurements. Further, precise remote control of load changes is also proposed, including all changes logged for purposes of billing, load tracking, vehicle weight compliance & chain of custody for hazardous substances.

Description
The US government mandate that all transport trucks be equipped with an Electronic Logging Device (ELD) presents a unique opportunity to offer value added abilities above the mandated vehicle-specific dynamic data collection and storage. Fleet companies also want to monitor the cargo their trucks are carrying, and desire a single portal to that data. The ELD is the obvious portal. This project fulfills this market need by developing an automated control platform to capture and convey cargo level/volume and data/measurements. Further, precise remote control of load changes is also proposed, including all changes logged for purposes of billing, load tracking, vehicle weight compliance & chain of custody for hazardous substances.
Description (French)
Le gouvernement américain exige que tous les camions de transport soient équipés d'un dispositif d'enregistrement électronique (DEE), ce qui représente une occasion unique d'offrir des capacités à valeur ajoutée en plus de la collecte et du stockage de données dynamiques spécifiques aux véhicules. Les entreprises de flottes veulent également surveiller la cargaison transportée par leurs camions et souhaitent un portail unique pour accéder à ces données. Le DEE est le portail évident. Ce projet répond à ce besoin du marché en développant une plate-forme de contrôle automatisée pour capturer et transporter le niveau / volume de cargaison et les données / mesures. De plus, un contrôle à distance précis des changements de charge est également proposé, y compris tous les changements enregistrés à des fins de facturation, de suivi de charge, de conformité du poids des véhicules et de chaîne de contrôle pour les substances dangereuses.
