Project description

Recently, we have seen the development of car-sharing services used by private individuals, companies and public institutions alike. These client groups, even though different, all seek comfortable and efficient use of vehicles. Reasons to use such services include fleet optimization, convenience, a sudden need for vehicles, business trips, trips abroad, etc. Also, such matters as car insurance, tire change, maintenance, or car wash are taken care of for the client.

In order to provide car-sharing services, it is necessary to be able to control locking and unlocking of a car remotely. There is a need for solution that includes hardware, firmware and software compatibility. It has to operate flawlessly as safety of the car and client’s comfort depend on it. Besides, the management of each car requires a different code, so the database must be large and constantly updated to include new popular car models.

Teltonika has a solution – tracker FMB130 and CAN-CONTROL adapter. The adapter allows you to control car doors and works with the many of our products, the list of which you will find at the end of this text.

When the adapter is connected to the CAN BUS, it allows scanning of over 300 parameters and controlling car’s central lock, windows closure, switching on/off turn lights, and trunk release. Also, you will be able to check door, parking brake and light status. Data that can be received in real time include engine RPM, vehicle speed, information about the current fuel level status from dashboard, helping you to figure out the range that the car can still cover, and other important parameters.

Electric cars are supported as well with some additional parameters to monitor like battery level, charging status, charging cable status, and how much the car can travel with the current battery charge level.

Teltonika currently supports over 1,300 cars, and the list is constantly updated to match new models of the most popular cars. In car-sharing services, the vast majority of the fleet consists of new cars not older than 3 years, which means that their engines support new technologies and produce less emissions to the atmosphere, thus, offering an eco-friendly solution.

We're glad that you have decided to test our “Car Sharing” solution.

Here you'll find how to prepare and to test car sharing solution.

What you need for a solution?

  • FMB130 which in this scenario is used to connect to a CAN-CONTROL adapter.
  • The SIM card in order to get data to your server
  • CAN-CONTROL adapter. The adapter allows you to control car doors and it works with many of our products
  • FOTA WEB to remotely send the configuration to the device.

Installation

It’s important to hide the tracker, so it would not be a simple task for the thieves to find and unplug it. But also, please do not forget to follow mounting recommendations as well.

Although devices have high gain antennas it’s important to mount devices with stickers on top and in metal-free space. The device should be firmly fixed to the surface or cables. Please make sure, that device is not fixed to heat emitting or moving parts.


To have a working solution it’s important to properly wire the devices.

The main accessory for the solution is CAN-CONTROL adapter, please make sure that right contacts are connected. Also check more detailed information here also check supported vehicle list.


During installation please follow recommendations in order to avoid damaging device and vehicle:

  • Wires should be connected while the module is not plugged in.
  • Be sure that after the car computer falls asleep, power is still available on the chosen wire. Depending on the car, this may happen in a 5 to 30 minutes period.
  • When the module is connected, be sure to measure the voltage again if it did not decrease.
  • The ground wire is connected to the vehicle frame or metal parts that are fixed to the frame.

Configuration

1. Prerequisites:

1.1. Read through First start guide

1.2. Understanding of possible Sleep modes.

2. Configuration:

2.1. Car sharing configuration

Parameter ID – Parameter name GPRS settings:


  • 2001 – APN
  • 2002 – APN username (if there are no APN username, empty field should be left)
  • 2003 – APN password (if there are no APN password, empty field should be left)


Server settings:

  • 2004 – Domain
  • 2005 – Port
  • 2006 – Data sending protocol (0 – TCP, 1 – UDP)



After successful GPRS/SERVER settings configuration, FMB130 device will synchronize time and update records to the configured server. Time intervals and default I/O elements can be changed by using Teltonika Configurator or SMS parameters.



Sleep settings:

  • 102 – Sleep settings(0 – Disable, 1 – Gps sleep, 2 – Deep sleep, 3 – Online Deep sleep, 4 – Ultra sleep)
  • Note: This scenario will not work with Deep Sleep, Ultra Deep Sleep and Online Deep Sleep modes, since they disable the device's GSM module to save power.



Can adapter settings:

  • 45002 – CAN Adapter program number




3.1. Car sharing in one SMS

Quickstart: From default configuration to Car sharing solution in one SMS:

"  setparam 2001:APN;2002:APN_username;2003:APN_password;2004:Domain;2005:Port;2006:0;102:1;45002:CAN Adapter program number"

Parsing

1.Prerequisites:

1.1. Open TCP/UDP port

1.2. Read Java parser first start guide

2. Parsing example:

In platform
