There’s a lot going on inside a bus. And the vehicle data is readily available for those who know how to capture it. With the FMS Gateway you have a stream of information on tap, ready to be used in your applications.
The Volvo Buses FMS Gateway unit collects onboard data and converts it to ACEA FMS data format. Data is accessed via the onboard interface where the customer can connect their own hardware and can obtain the continuous data stream from the connector interface.
Data can be used onboard and/or sent to customer back-office systems by the customer hardware. With the FMS Gateway there is a standard dataset available - free of charge and included with hardware. In addition there are two extended datasets - which can be purchased with one-time payments.
