Parameter — time-varying or space characteristic of the Vehicle (SPN value). For example,
speed, fuel volume in the tank, hourly fuel consumption, coordinates. Parameter is usually
displayed in the form of graph, or averaged data.
Server (AVL Server) — hardware-software complex of Telematics service ORF 4 / ORF 5 , used
for processing and storage of Operational data, formation and transmission of Analytical
reports through Internet by request of ORF 4 / ORF 5, users.
Event — relatively rare and sudden change in SPN. For example, applying the magnetic field
to the fuel flow meter in order to falsify indications of the hourly fuel consumption is the
“Interference” Event. An Event can have one or several characteristics. Thus, the
“Interference” Event has the following ch
aracteristics: date/time and duration of the
interference. When the Event occurs, a terminal unit registers the time of occurrence, which is
later mentioned in a report on the event. Thus, the Event is always attached to exact time and
place of occurrence.
Counter — cumulative numerical characteristic of Parameter. Counter is displayed by a single
number and over time its value is increasing. Examples of counters: fuel consumption, trip,
engine hours counter etc.
Telematics terminal (Terminal, Tracking device, Telematics unit) is a unit of Telematics
system used for reading the signals of Vehicle standard and additional sensors, getting location
data and transmitting the data to the Server.
Telematics system — complex solution for vehicle monitoring in real time and trip analysis.
The main monitored characteristics of the vehicle: Route, Fuel consumption, Working time,
technical integrity, Safety. In includes On-board report, Communication channels, Telematics
service

.
Vehicle an object controlled within Telematics system. Usually Vehicle means a truck, tractor
or bus, sometimes a locomotive or river boat. From Telematics system point of view,
stationary objects are also considered to be vehicles: diesel gensets, stationary tanks,
boilers/burners.
Function module (FM) unit-embedded component of hardware and software combination,
executing a group of special functions. Uses input/output PGNs and settings PGNs.
Unit is an element of vehicle on-board equipment compatible with S6 bus, which uses
S6 Technology .
