Transportation Recorders on Commercial Vehicles
Information has been sensed, recorded and off loaded from commercial vehicles for almost twenty years, excluding the recording of speed by tachographs. The recording devices include trip recorders, engine controls, on-board computers, wireless communications equipment, RADAR collision warning devices and instrument clusters. The information is used to improve driver safety, help diagnose problems, improve the efficiency of logistics for the fleet, and reduce operating costs. This paper will provide a brief history of recorders on commercial vehicles, an overview of presently available products, examples of the information available, and a projection of future recording capabilities.
