SkyHawk’s GPS tracking hardware solution connects to a vehicle’s ECM to gather, interpret, and display relevant engine data within ConnectAnywhere. This information can also be transmitted to other software applications (e.g. maintenance management software). SkyHawk supports ECM protocols for mixed vehicle fleets, including light and heavy duty (i.e. OBDII, J1939 Type I & II).

Key Features

  • Access vehicle maintenance information, including odometer, engine hours & fault codes
  • Report vehicle driving behaviour events such as RPM & vehicle speed
  • Detect true vehicle operational state such as ignition on and idling

Inputs / Outputs

Utilizing a real-time connection with SkyHawk GPS tracking hardware, ConnectAnywhere monitors a vehicle’s input and output events using sensors. Parameters can be customized to capture and communicate events including plow blade position, beacon lights, brake status, horn, speed, seat belt, driver ID, sweeper broom position, waste bin arm, augers, mowers, paint arm, enforcement gun lock and unauthorized access detection.
