The Vehicle Communication Platform connects any IP network based onboard system and enables a central communication channel with as many back-office systems as necessary. It comes with the possibility to also integrate and supervise Android apps from any Android app suppliers.
The Pilotfish Gateway, the hardware supporting the VCP is available in different versions which allows onboard systems to be connected to the onaboard network via RJ45 or M12.
Onboard equipment can use our stable and secured communication channel. This is great advantage for our customers as the VCP is always available, scans continuously the vehicle (automatic inventory service) and transfer the data to and from the ground. It also provides a real economy of scale as it reduces dramatically the complexity onboard the vehicle (less antennas, less cables..) and reduces the cost for data subscription.
Main features:
- Choose best-of-breed suppliers
- Add functionality over time using available information on the vehicle and resources
- Adopt an evolutionary approach to public transport IT
- Decreases risk of vendor lock-ins
- Communication channel [2-4G Mobile network and optional Wifi networks
- Share information [Vehicle nr, GPS, Driver, FMS data etc. etc.]; Both onboard and offboard based on CEN standard EN 13149 messages as well as MQTT.
