New Book: Data Acquisition from HD Vehicles Using J1939 CAN Bus

HEM Data is pleased to announce that it has written a book entitled Data Acquisition from HD Vehicles Using J1939 CAN Bus. It is published by SAE and available from SAE and directly from HEM Data.

This book compares various diagnostic approaches including OBD-II, HD-OBD and World Wide Harmonized (WWH) OBD. In-vehicle network data is valuable for improved maintenance, vehicle and its subsystems performance, fleet management, warranty and legal issues, reliability, durability, and accident reconstruction. Applications discussed include calculating fuel economy, duty cycle analysis, and capturing intermittent faults.

The focus of the book is how to acquire and correctly interpret data from the in-vehicle network of heavy-duty (HD) vehicles using the SAE J1939 standard. The book presents an introduction to CAN, the building block of J1939, and guides the reader through various SAE J1939 standards.

The reader will learn how to determine the available parameters on HD vehicles including their accuracy and sample rates, and how to acquire and convert messages to scaled engineering parameters. Data Acquisition from HD Vehicles Using J1939 CAN Bus is a must-have reference for those interested in getting started with SAE J1939 as well as those who want more detail on how to use it effectively.

Order now by phone (248) 559-5607 or (800) 436-4330.

The book price is $89.95 and with shipping from HEM Data it is $99.00 in the U.S. For worldwide purchases, we recommend buying the e-book directly from SAE.
