EMTRAC Automatic Data Upload/Download
The EMTRAC Equipment Interrogator System enables agencies using the EMTRAC system to automatically download activity logs from mobile EMTRAC equipment and upload firmware and database updates to these same components.
Vehicles equipped with the EMTRAC system are capable of requesting signal priority, and wayside workers may also be equipped with handheld EMTRAC notification units. As equipped vehicles or workers return to the garage or station, the Interrogator System utilizes secure frequency-hopping spread spectrum radio to download data logs from these mobile EMTRAC units. This data is forwarded to a server running the EMTRAC Central Monitor software, where the data may be viewed by monitoring personnel.
The EMTRAC Interrogator System can be used at bus garages, fire stations, rail operation Centers, municipal-vehicle garages and lots, as well as maintenance facilities.
Features of EMTRAC Equipment Interrogator System
- Automatic Retrieval and Update: Wirelessly download activity logs from EMTRAC components, and automatically upload firmware or database updates to units that have not yet received the update.
- Auto-Notifications: The EMTRAC software may be configured to email periodic activity logs to specified agency personnel.
- System Monitoring: The EMTRAC software enables agency personnel to monitor connection status and history (between server and interrogator as well as between interrogator and EMTRAC components), and current RF signal strength.
- Communication Stability: Data is not lost in cases of network interruption, and data transfers resume from the point of interruption.
Benefits of EMTRAC Equipment Interrogator System
- Minimal Wired Connections: For external connections, the EMTRAC Interrogator Kit requires only 120 VAC power and Ethernet. All communication with EMTRAC vehicle components is performed wirelessly.
- Limitless Memory: By transferring activity logs to the system server, onboard EMTRAC components are able to continually store new log items.
- Timeliness: High transfer rates enable data transfers that take a relatively short period of time, offering multiple options for where to mount the Interrogator— such as near refueling or washing stations.
- Flexibility: The EMTRAC Interrogator may be mounted on wall, pole, or other structure, and multiple antenna options allow for effective communication in even high-interference environments.
