Specifications include, but are not limited to:TOOT specifications to provide and install a GPS device on TOOT snow plow trucks that are equipped with FORCE 5100 controllers. Specification also calls out the hardware requirements to make the snow plow trucks "closed loop" so the 5100 controller can send accurate material data through GPS device. A Mobile Data Collection System (MDC) with AVUGPS system shall be supplied with each vehicle . MDC (Mobile Data Collection) system shall be fully integrated in all aspects with the FORCE America 5100 Spreader Control currently installed on TOOT Chassis'. The system must support the FORCE America Advanced firmware/protocol. Device communication must be bi-directional, to include device handshaking with Send/Receive/Delete routine. Data integrity must be protected by a 16-bit Cyclic Redundant Check-sum and allow for dynamic string definition, which allows for accurate and verified communication between the SSC5100 series spreader controller and the AVL modem. System shall include all necessary wiring, hardware, and upgrade key, to make the granular and pre-wet system fully operational in a closed loop mode. System must also include Vaisala or RoadWatch temp module that allows temp sensor to display air/road temp through the 5100. In doing so, it will also display on the web application. The system must communicate at a 19200 baud rate between the FORCE America SSC5100 series spreader controller and the AVL modem. The system must be able to collect and report on the 37 separate events( ie. Spreader status, vehicle speed, prewet setting etc.) from the FORCE America SSC5100 series spreader controllers . The communications technology to be used for transmitting data shall be dual mode - 802.11 b and GPRS. System shall include all necessary hardware items, processors, antennas, etc. {This provides the flexibility to use either 802.11b wireless or GPRS to do automatic data downloads as necessary.) The system shall provide a RS-232 serial connection, six (6) digital or analog inputs, J1939 and J1708 connections. {The variety of connectors provides flexibility in reading spreader controllers, plow positions, hoist positions, etc. as needed.) The inputs shall be configurable through the website to support active-low signals (switch to battery negative) or active-high signals (switch to battery positive). The system shall provide a visual LED definition for the status of power, ignition, cellular, WiFi, GPS, and input states. System shall support at least 16MB flash memory for storage of data over extended periods of connectivity loss. (This allows for storing all readings until 802.11b or GPRS coverage is reestablished then transmitting the stored data to provide an updated history of the vehicle.)TOOT specifications to provide and install a GPS device on TOOT snow plow trucks that are equipped with FORCE 5100 controllers.
