Truck Blind Spot Detection System Connects To SAE J1939 Bus
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 [...]
Embedded ARM System Serves As SAE J1939 to Bluetooth Gateway
Systems like the Arduino, BeagleBone, or Raspberry Pi are great systems for rapid prototyping (and that’s the focus of my business). However, when it comes to exposing these systems to industrial environments, you may reach their limits easily. That includes primarily temperature range, splash water protection, and vibration. Some systems have options for an extended [...]
