Velvac will be in attendance at the annual National Private Truck Council (NPTC) show this year in Cincinnati, OH. On display will be Velvac’s new tractor to trailer high-speed video and data transfer system, TrailerConnect. Developed jointly with Phillips, TrailerConnect, provides truck drivers a plug and play video and data connection point, located adjacent to the existing air and electrical lines.
This connection facilitates video stream from trailer-mounted cameras to an in-dash monitor assisting drivers during backing, and slow-speed maneuvering situations. In addition, TrailerConnect has the ability to transfer data from the trailer directly to the cab. External systems monitoring information such as temperature, weight, balance, etc. now have a medium by which to transfer this data to feed into display units.
TrailerConnect is capable of accepting multiple variations of up to 4 camera inputs, which can enable such applications as: rear camera back-up assistance, interior trailer monitoring, 360 trailer bird’s eye view, etc. Unlike wireless camera/monitor solutions, TrailerConnect does not decrease the transfer speed from trailer cameras to the in cab monitor, and provides a robust, real-time connection.
Velvac will also be displaying Road-iQ. Road-iQ is an innovative active vision technology, capable of improving driver awareness, increasing vehicle security, and increasing driver connectivity to their vehicle. This device makes use of up to seven cameras which connect to an in-dash monitor or Apple iPad, integrated with real-time video, vehicle diagnostics, recording, advanced vehicle control, and more. Road-iQ reduces blind spots, enhances safety, and provides drivers peace of mind.
