GPS vehicle monitoring with integration into the vehicle computer via the CAN bus (Controller Area Network) brings numerous benefits to both individual users and vehicle fleets. Integration with the CAN system allows you to monitor and analyse the vehicle's diagnostic data, such as fuel consumption, oil level, battery condition, engine faults and so on. As a result, you can detect any technical issues more quickly and remotely and schedule repairs in advance.
GPS monitoring with the CAN system allows you to obtain precise data on the engine's fuel consumption (the system counts the amount of fuel that has flowed through the vehicle's injectors), and also informs you of the fuel level in the tank based on data from the vehicle's float sensor.
GPS monitoring with the CAN system can help you meet legal and regulatory requirements regarding drivers' working time, rest breaks and driving speed. This way, your company can avoid fines and legal problems.

The system works by making use of the so-called CAN bus, which is integrated into all modern vehicles. All of a vehicle's key electronic components, such as temperature sensors, pressure sensors and various probes, are connected to the CAN bus. Each of these components sends information about its status to the vehicle computer, e.g. the current fuel dose or the engine's rotational speed, while at the same time monitoring messages from other devices. Our DS/1CANTEL GPS tracker enables the reading of data from the CAN bus for a wide range of vehicles. Once the device has been installed, you will gain access to the current location of your vehicles as well as information such as fuel level, engine revs or accelerator pedal pressure. All this data will be available in the advanced version of the DSLocate application, both on a smartphone and in the desktop version. In addition, the DS/1CANTEL GPS tracker works together with the e-TOLL and SentGeo services, which allows you to handle many functions from within a single application - DSLocate.
