Telematics
Introduction
New Eagle has developed a MotoHawk and Raptor compatible telematics platform, which enables remote tracking and management of assets through GPS and cellular data technology. This system serves as gateway for remote administration of vehicles and data analysis. The New Eagle telematics platform can monitor and analyze driver behavior, measure fuel consumption, and detect maintenance issues with vehicles before they become a problem. The seamless integration between the New Eagle Telematics Control Module (TCM) and New Eagle ECUs allows remote calibration, reflashing of the ECU, and fault reporting.
New Eagle delivers a complete telematics solution including hardware, software, cellular plan, web server, and web portal interface.
The TCM is a standalone unit that can perform a multitude of functions from CAN data-aggregation and analytic processing to real-time vehicle monitoring through available Cell networks. It can communicate desired parameter information to a web-based portal. Compatibility with the MotoHawk and Raptor development environments provides close integration with CAN bus systems.
Telematics Products
Basic Telematics Kit
New Eagle's Basic Telematics Kit includes remote machine monitoring with its CAN logging capabilities. It can log up to 10 CAN messages, which are configurable through DBC by the fleet manager. Data can be logged at 125kbaud, 250kbaud, or 500kbaud.
The remote diagnostics feature allows service personnel to monitor the status of deployed vehicles. The ECU broadcasts diagnostic information regarding the health and performance of the vehicle on the CAN bus. This information is logged by the telematics unit and submitted to the Fleet Web Server, where it can be viewed and queried.

Advanced Telematics Kit
New Eagle's Advanced Telematics Kit is an add on of the Basic Kit. In addition to its CAN logging capabilities, this kit includes remote flashing and calibration capability. This feature allows the telematics unit to update the ECU without having to recall the vehicle from the field. The ECU has final authority to determine when it is safe for the ECU to be updated (the telematics unit will query the ECU periodically when it has an update operation to perform).
A part of the handshake protocol between the telematics unit and the ECU is a seed-key verification process that ensures that only authorized telematics units can perform an update on the ECU. Further, the calibration and reflash packages are signed with a private key, so that no unauthorized updates can performed. This signature is verified by the telematics unit upon download.

Capability Summary
CAN Logging and Remote Diagnostics
The TCM has CAN logging capabilities. It can log up to 10 CAN messages, which are configurable through DBC by the fleet manager. Data can be logged at 125kbaud, 250kbaud, or 500kbaud.
The remote diagnostics feature allows service personnel to monitor the status of deployed vehicles. The ECU broadcasts diagnostic information regarding the health and performance of the vehicle on the CAN bus. This information is logged by the telematics unit and submitted to the Fleet Web Server, where it can be viewed and queried.
Access to near-real-time data on the status and location of deployed vehicles can lead to substantially reduced maintenance costs:
- Malfunctioning equipment can be identified quickly, before a catastrophic failure causes extensive damage to the vehicle.
- Service techs can be dispatched with knowledge of what the problem is, reducing diagnostic time in the field.
- Vehicle performance can be monitored and under-performing vehicles targeted for detailed analysis. This may lead to a recalibration or updates to the ECU software.
- Driver behavior analysis can identify drivers in need of additional training.
Remote Calibration and Reflash
This feature allows the telematics unit to update the ECU without having to recall the vehicle from the field. The ECU has final authority to determine when it is safe for the ECU to be updated (the telematics unit will query the ECU periodically when it has an update operation to perform).
A part of the handshake protocol between the telematics unit and the ECU is a seed-key verification process that ensures that only authorized telematics units can perform an update on the ECU. Further, the calibration and reflash packages are signed with a private key, so that no unauthorized updates can performed. This signature is verified by the telematics unit upon download.
Web Portal Interface
New Eagle gives the ability to monitor and manage in the field products or vehicle fleets through a customizable web portal interface. The web interface allows the user to track vehicle locations and operational parameters in real time, set up alerts for malfunctioning equipment, manage vehicles across multiple job sites, and push updates to vehicles in the field. New Eagle provides custom login accounts for the distribution of access to OEM, distributors, and end users as required.
Additional Features
- 3G GSM Cellular Data
- Stolen Vehicle Detection
- Data Logging:
- Fuel Consumption
- Vehicle Fault Codes
- Vehicle Position (via GPS)
- Receive SMS alerts for critical events
The basic architecture of the system involves a TCM connected to the ECU via a CAN bus. The telematics unit can communicate via the cellular data network with a web server, which will collect data from the telematics unit and push updates for the unit and ECU.
