Truck Blind Spot Detection System Connects To SAE J1939 Bus
Posted by on
Preco Electronics announced their PreView Side Defender, an advanced side collision avoidance solution that has been developed specifically for the over-the-road (OTR) markets including trucking, municipalities, waste and recycling.
The system warns operators of objects in the vehicle’s side blind zones, including pedestrians, bicyclists and vehicles, in order to reduce the incidence of side collisions. It can read vehicle speed messages via J1939. The radar-based sensor system operates in different modes.
In highway mode, it alerts operators of vehicles in the side blind zones, while ignoring stationary objects such as guardrails to reduce nuisance alerts. In slow-speed mode, the blind-spot detector is positioned to play an integral role in the emerging side turn assist applications, aimed specifically at reducing the incidence of collisions with pedestrians and cyclists in urban environments.
The sensor system is able to detect and report up to 16 targets. It supports sensor fusion and telematics integration, and provides the ability to integrate with telematics applications, vision systems, LED mirror indicators, or other sensors.
European truck vendors develop a communication standard for trailers with such blind-spot sensors. The J1939-based ISO 11992-3 standard will support automatic line departure control. The standardized CAN link between trailer and truck provides the necessary information about detected objects in respect to speed and direction.

SAE J1939 to Bluetooth Gateway
The jCOM.J1939.BT gateway is a high-performance, low-latency, wireless vehicle network adapter for SAE J1939 applications. It allows any host device with a Bluetooth COM port to monitor SAE J1939 data traffic and communicate with the SAE J1939 vehicle network. An SAE J1939 cable, suited for a 9-pin Deutsch connection, is included with the gateway.
The board supports the full SAE J1939 protocol according to J1939/81 Network Management (Address Claiming) and J1939/21 Transport Protocol (TP). It is also supported by an extensive programming interface for Windows and Linux/Ubuntu applications, including full C/C++/C# source code for short time-to-market developments.
