The reader will learn how to determine what data is available on the vehicle’s network, acquire messages and convert them to scaled engineering parameters, apply more than 25 applicable standards, and understand 15 important test modes. Topics featured in this book include:

  • Calculated fuel economy
  • Duty cycle analysis
  • Capturing intermittent faults

J1939 Book

Data Acquisition from HD Vehicles Using J1939 CAN Bus is published by SAE and available from SAE and directly from HEM Data.

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. Finally, the book presents practical applications including diagnosing intermittent problems, duty/drive cycle analysis, and web-based dashboards to summarize fleet data.
