Fully Integrated Truck Information and Control Systems (TIACS)

Electronic sub-systems are being developed for heavy duty trucks. However, these sub-systems are being developed as individual entities i.e., information, monitoring, recording, control systems etc. This paper identifies the current, near term, and long range system requirements and suggests ideas for a fully integrated Truck Information And Control System (TIACS) aimed at an orderly approach to a vehicle electronic system for heavy duty trucks.
