Fleet management plays a critical role in ensuring the efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness of vehicle operations, particularly in industries that rely heavily on diesel-powered trucks and equipment. The purpose of fleet management is to optimize fuel consumption, reduce downtime, manage maintenance schedules, monitor driver behavior, and ensure regulatory compliance. With…
SAE J1939 is a communication protocol that standardizes how heavy-duty vehicle components (engines, transmissions, brakes, etc.) exchange data over the CAN bus. Modern trucks, buses, and off-road machines generate a wealth of operational and diagnostic data on these J1939 networks. Traditionally, this data was accessed locally (e.g. via mechanic’s scan…
Vehicle telematics has become a cornerstone of modern transportation, enabling real-time insights into vehicle performance, location, and driver behavior. From fleet management to predictive maintenance, telematics systems provide the data needed to make smart, cost-effective decisions. Copperhill Technologies’ latest blog post highlights an innovative approach: using a Raspberry Pi combined…
Overview of OneNet OneNet is the National Marine Electronics Association’s newest networking standard for marine electronics, positioned as the successor to NMEA 2000®. Unlike its predecessors (NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000), OneNet is built on modern Internet protocols, using IPv6 over standard Ethernet (IEEE 802.3). This means that OneNet-enabled devices…
Introduction Modern heavy-duty vehicles are equipped with sophisticated electronic systems that generate a wealth of data. Extracting and utilizing this data is crucial for effective fleet management, regulatory compliance, and leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT) in transportation. A Bluetooth-to-J1939 gateway serves as a bridge between a vehicle’s internal data…

In the fast-evolving world of vehicle electronics—whether commercial road vehicles, off-highway machines, or off-road construction equipment—ensuring functional safety has never been more critical. To meet these growing demands, SAE has introduced two new standards designed specifically for functionally safe communication over CAN networks: SAE J1939-76 for Classical CAN (CAN CC)…
Introduction SAE J1939 is the dominant in-vehicle network protocol for medium and heavy-duty vehicles, traditionally running on Classical CAN at 250 kbps (or 500 kbps) with 8-byte frames. As modern trucks and buses integrate more electronics – from advanced engine controls to ADAS sensors – the bandwidth limitations of classical…
