Vehicle Computer Unit ST-9284: Features

The Vehicle Computer Unit (VCU) receives location data from an omni-directional antenna and transmits priority requests to intersections through 900 MHz radio frequency communication with a typical transmission range of 3,000 feet. The VCU uses a 50-channel GPS engine to precisely track vehicle location at up to 4 Hz and can store up to 5,000 intersection zones. It operates from 10-40V DC with maximum current draw of 500mA and supports Ethernet, RS-232, or wireless connectivity along with 16 inputs/outputs to accept priority requests from vehicle functions.

Vehicle Computer Unit

ST-9284

Vehicles equipped with the EMTRAC system carry a compact, yet rugged, Vehicle
Computer Unit (VCU), which is connected to an omni-directional antenna
that receives location data and transmits priority requests to intersections
through secure RF communication. The positioning functionality is able
to track vehicle location with precision, and the radio range allows
reliable intersection response—even in adverse conditions.

Features:
• 900 MHz, frequency-hopping spread spectrum radio with Vehicle
Computer Unit
secure, 256-bit AES encryption
• Typical transmission range of 3,000 feet, enabling intersection-
approach zones of the same length
• Integrated computer board contains ultra-fast processor and superior
memory, while the MicroSD-card offers vast activity-log storage capability
• Operates off nominal 10 to 40-volt DC power source and draws a maximum current of 500 mA.
• Capable of communication through Ethernet, RS-232, or wireless connection
• Supports up to 16 inputs and outputs in any combination
• Capable of storing up to 5,000 intersection-approach zones
• Ability to accept multiple inputs to prompt priority requests, including bus-door or pull-cord activity,
schedule adherence, passenger count, and emergency light-bar
• Time-out feature configurable to cease priority requests after designated amount of no-motion time
• Programmable with Windows XP, Vista, 7 (or later) operating systems
