| Remote diagnostics is
intended to help maintenance teams stay on track with important
vehicle maintenance events in real-time. It also allows vehicle
dealerships to forecast bookings and contact customers should an
onboard technical fault be alerted to the system. Maintaining
maximum vehicle efficiency and safety requires practicing
preventive as well as predictive maintenance.
Remote diagnostics with Satellite Location
Remote diagnostics is performed using the Direct Vehicle Bus
connection through the OBD-II/CAN interface. BD-II is an
on-board diagnostic system for emission control capable of
identifying the likely area of malfunction using fault codes
stored in the vehicle’s computer memory.
Transferring the data in real-time, it is an accurate source of
vehicle speed, Engine Warning Information, Oil Pressure, and
Level warning information, RPM and odometer readings
information. Once archived, the information can be accessed
using a remote software interface, enabling accurate and
sophisticated fuel efficiency & vehicle utilization
calculations, driver behavior analysis as well as vehicle status
management.
DDIT also now provide GPS Location information, so that you can
easily and precisely see exactly where the vehicle was located,
at the time of fault.
Predictive maintenance
Predictive maintenance utilizes the vehicle Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTC) through the OBD-II/CAN interface, allowing
maintenance teams to predict possible future vehicle
malfunctions and take action before they occur. The OBD-II/CAN
connector instantly receives not only diagnostic and emission
control data but also other vehicle-related information. Once
detected, DTC information is displayed on the software portal,
including the easy-to-understand descriptions. Identified DTC’s
are kept active until they are confirmed and marked as such by
administrators. Marked DTC records can also be archived.
DDIT Monitor
DDIT Monitor is a wireless web-based system that enables you to
remotely monitor and diagnose your on-the-road trucks and fleet
vehicles. From the comfort of your home office or service bay,
you can access and control your entire fleet's electronically
controlled components, including engines, transmissions, and
braking systems. DDIT Monitor's scalable ASP infrastructure also
allows you to start with our base-level services, then add
features, including 3rd party applications, as your cost savings
accumulate.
As a wireless-based communications system, DDIT Monitor allows
communications between the vehicle and a variety of end users
via the Internet and a web browser, regardless of vehicle
location. A powerful and comprehensive Wireless Communications
Framework (WCF) underlies the DDIT Monitor communication between
the ASP facility and the vehicle. The WCF abstracts the Wireless
Communication Network allowing the use of one or more systems
simultaneously.
No single wireless terrestrial network has 100% coverage. The
WCF allows the use of different networks, as well as the ability
to have a satellite and a terrestrial system simultaneously with
the least cost routing rules that allow the utilization of the
system on a cost versus critical prioritization basis.
The WCF is also capable of Store and Forward message handling
guaranteeing message delivery even if the vehicle is out of
coverage. Message delivery is done as soon as the vehicle is
detected in coverage areas.

Vehicle Data Processing
The Vehicle data processing system is responsible for receiving
requests from DDIT Monitor's ASP facility and sending it to the
vehicle component and vice versa. It has all the logic and
intelligence to carry out vehicle-specific services such as
diagnostic requests and processing. This system can be
wirelessly updated to add and enhance its functionality,
eliminating the need to require the vehicle to be at the service
bay for software updates that enhance features and
functionality.
Wireless Communication
The wireless communication system allows sending and receiving
data via multiple wireless networks including terrestrial and
satellite. This minimizes the cost of sending data over the
network.
