- 2. Technology & Maintenance Council . . . Turning Experience Into Practice
- 3. Attention Please • In accordance with TMC Board Policy, all personal phones without a silent feature must be turned off during business sessions. • If you must use your phone —please leave the room!
- 4. Attention Please • This is an open meeting of the Technology & Maintenance Council, held in accordance with ATA Antitrust Guidelines which are listed in your meeting packet. • Audio or video recordings are not permitted at this session. However, photography is permissible. • The opinions expressed in this meeting are those of the individual and not necessarily the opinion of his/her company nor of TMC unless stated otherwise.
- 5. Antitrust/Patent Disclosure • To minimize the possibility of antitrust problems, the guidelines detailed in your registration packet should be followed at all TMC meetings, task force and study group sessions. • All participants in any group involved in the development of standards or recommended practices shall disclose, as stated in the antitrust/patent disclosure guidelines in your registration packet, all patents or patent applications that are owned, controlled or licensed by the Participant or Participant’s employer when the Participant reasonably believes such patent or patent application may become material to the standard or RP development process.
- 6. Constructive Comments Are Always Appreciated! TMC welcomes your comments, but please make certain that they are constructive and appropriate before you turn in your evaluation sheet? Thank You for Your Cooperation!

- 18. Proven Impacts • Better control of trailer count • With tracking we are able to manage our trailer count where we need it and not carry more trailers than needed • This results in a lower maintenance cost per trailer • Reduction in scheduled maintenance performed over the road vs. in house • This has reduced our over all spend on DOT’s over the road
- 20. Scheduled Service Outside Versus Inside

- 22. OEM Perspective – Assembly / Integration Todays Specs • Axles • Bearings • Doors • Brakes • Electrical TRAILER ASSEMBLY Smart Specs • Devices (Sensors) • Gateway • Network • Analytics • Security SYSTEM INTEGRATION
- 23. Devices •Sensors Networks •Cellular Platform •Google •MS Apps •Software •Dashboards Data Processing •Analytics Storage •Cloud Servers Security •Largest Hurdle OEM Considerations • Open platform – full connectivity between legacy systems • Tractor Trailer – system level data requires tractor/trailer communication • Trailer Birth - OE level integration offers lowest cost installation • Monitor vs. Control • Data ownership • Monetization • Unknown Risks
- 24. OEM Challenges • Network Effect: Durable purchases lock you in. (i.e. Gateway, Telcom contract, data security) Open platform, common standards are needed • Economy of scale: New partners entering market. Silicon Valley vs. Casting company. Core competencies are being challenged! • Economy of scope: New capabilities are available everyday. Reliability/security has advanced • Firehose Effect: To scale and provide value, data must be actionable
- 25. Customer Value: Value Segments • Compliance • Anticipate downtime or machine failures before operations are impacted • Automated weigh station, collision mitigation • Operational • Improve inventory management / utilization • Maintenance • Condition Based Maintenance - Streamline repair and maintenance processes • Fuel • Dynamic tire inflation, platooning • Driver • More efficient use of personnel
- 26. Inputs to Future Design • Knowing how our customers use our products is paramount to our future product design and ultimately business • Leveraging IoT in our trailers increases quality of incoming data • Data ownership and security is a concern

- 37. Diagnostic Challenges • What are some diagnostic challenges from the past (tractor/trailer) that may be avoided in the future on the trailer? • Diagnostics not keeping pace with the rapid adoption of new technology • Lack of oversight in diagnostic standards
- 38. Diagnostics Slow to Evolve SAFETY/AUTONOMY EMISSIONS EURO STANDARDS Rapid Growth in New Technolog y Standar d Info OEM Proprietar y Info Diagnostic / Communication Standards J1939, J1587, ISO15765/UDS, KWP2000, GM- LAN RP1210 Diagnostic Applications Vehicle technology is complex and changing rapidly • Since 1995: • Avg number of ECUs on commercial truck has risen from 2 to 15 • Avg number of data points on commercial truck risen from 60 to 700+ • Diagnostics have not evolved at nearly the same rate as the technology complexity • We are still evaluating a list of faults and data • Diagnostic tools need to be smarter • Provide answers not questions • Tools like machine learning and analytics can lead the way
- 39. Diagnostic Standards RP 1210 • TMC nailed it with RP1210 and it has been an unquestionable success • Yes, I know it is not a standard • Most major diagnostic applications use it • Fleets have pushed compliance • Diagnostic app providers • Vehicle interface adapter providers • The days of needing a box full of cables and interface boxes is largely a thing of the past.
- 40. Protocol Standards—Tractor • Current standards provide means for proprietary messaging • Which is highly used • Why should we care? • A standards-based diagnostic app would not be able read all the fault codes. • TSPs, service writer tools, and others can’t get the data you want or they need • The deeper you get into diagnostics the more proprietary it gets. • An all makes/models fleet could require up to 30 separate diagnostic apps
- 41. Challenges in Data Transfer from Trailers to Fleet Information Systems • Broad use of proprietary data • Almost impossible for TSPs to give you the data you want • Some requested ops data not on data buses • Camera data, TPMS, Refrigeration, etc., especially on the trailer • No common communications bus on trailer other than PLC/J2497 • No easy way to get data from trailer to tractor • Most tractor/ trailer telematics devices do not speak PLC/J2497 • Difficult for them to get diagnostic status/data from the ABS • Trailers do not have a built in power source • There are somewhere between 1.8 to 4 trailers for every tractor • Could get expensive to outfit all trailers with telematics
- 42. Possible Solutions for Trailer Data Transfers • Create a standard that opens up communications between tractor and trailer • Consider both wired and wireless options (redundancy for autonomy) • Higher speed communications channels to support vehicle controls and data exchange • A standard protocol that supports a secure data exchange • Select a connector between the tractor and trailer that is reliable and will support future data growth needs • Add a standards based communications bus on the trailer that allows for the addition of non-ABS devices
- 43. Manage Software Updates • Historically, software updates required a shop visit, causing many fleets to forego updates. • Today, most OEs are able to apply engine updates OTA, but there are limitations. • Transmissions and brakes have not gained the same level of connectivity, and therefore still primarily require downtime in a shop to be updated. • Moving forward, fleets should have the ability to control and monitor remote software updates from a central portal that is not OE specific. • Eventually, smart updates could be applied just in time to optimize for the route, the weather condition, the driver behavior, load, etc.
