WH: VIN Decoding

Тема: WH: VIN Decoding

Dear community,

We are planning to introduce VIN decoding in 'Unit Properties'. I.e:

- VIN field finds its place in 'General' tab
- User enters unit's VIN
- Wialon sends a query to decode it
- Decoded data gets filled in 'Profile' tab

WH: VIN Decoding

'Profile' tab also gets new engine-related fields:

- Engine Model
- Engine Displacement
- Primary Fuel Type

All filled-in automatically, once the VIN is in place.

In the future, that might help to:

- Get statistics on user's units
- Improve EcoDriving
- Improve fuel consumption rate
- Notify controller on exceeding limit of passengers
- Form a library of user unit profiles


We would like to hear your thoughts on VIN decode, getting vehicle statistics and any other benefits that users will get from a filled out unit profile. Waiting for your ideas!

Hi

We offered improvement of Maintenance module sending a proposal to Gurtam and they agreed to take to account our proposal in future. I believe this VIN update will be useful in future improvement of Maintenance module to register unique vehicles in system.
Thanks all Gurtam team.

Re: WH: VIN Decoding

If I correctly understand this...by entering the VIN it would negate the need for majority of other details manually as this would self populate instead?

This was a laborious task for customers with large fleets when first setting things up. Most of these large customers are on our legacy platform pre Wialon. Moving forward it may be of good value/benefit with new clients and as we hope to move all existing clients from the old platform over to Wialon.

In fact, we would offer to enter this for customers as a value add.

Onwards and Upwards!!

Data on Engline Model is stored in most VINs. Hence, once VIN is entered, Engine Model will be provided in 'Profile'.

i also like the idea, it opens new benefits for endusers to use the vehicle function more.

Re: WH: VIN Decoding

Its a good idea as many times we have to search through the User Manual and many models and spec of various markets are mentioned which make our life difficult in finding the right model

Hi Road-Link

Sorry, somehow missed your question. Yes, we do plan to test this feature. Any comments on why that is important for your customers?

Re: WH: VIN Decoding

That will be nice if vehicle details automatically can be displayed.

WH: VIN Decoding

Re: WH: VIN Decoding

Great idea. If there is a way to get the following (not sure if it is feasible), it would be even better:
-VIN field getting automatically populated from incoming parameters , as many OBD/JBUS devices can send this information. So no need to enter VIN # itself in many cases
-Manufacturer recalls and other info based on VIN#
-Sample Picture of vehicle based on VIN# (Makes it easy to identify)
-Important to have Manufacturer, Make, Model Year, type, etc. picked up

Re: WH: VIN Decoding

This is a great start to data automation. What would be good is if we could also bring in maintenance and engine statistics. So you enter the VIN and you can populate a maintenance schedule for that vehicle automatically based on the manufacturers recommendations. Also get the theoretical fuel usage values based on the engine type and the driving conditions, loads and speeds.

Re: WH: VIN Decoding

Hi JohnG,


So you enter the VIN and you can populate a maintenance schedule for that vehicle automatically based on the manufacturers recommendations.

that is exactly one of the ways we are hoping to elaborate on. I am in the process of looking for the libraries that would provide maintenance data for the worldwide VINs. If you are aware of them, please, let me know.

What would be good is if we could also bring in [...] engine statistics

We are planning to add the following fields:

  • Engine Model
  • Engine Displacement
  • Engine Power
  • Primary Fuel Type

Get the theoretical fuel usage values based on the engine type and the driving conditions, loads and speeds.

That is also something that should come from an external library. Any recommendations are welcomed.

Re: WH: VIN Decoding

Thank you.  Great addition with lots of possibilities as many have added in the post.  The option Peter K mentions to populate profile VIN from Sensor VIN (where available) would be very handy with some protection added to highlight or report when a reported VIN changes (device is moved to another vehicle).  We have used third party service such as AutoAp’s Dynamic Recall Management to check for open/completed vehicle recalls and would be awesome if there was global source to connect to within platform.

Hi fleetlogik!

In two weeks (once the feature is in stable) we plan to run a script that will populate VIN from OBD in case the tracker sends the VIN as a one-time activity.
