ISO Trailer Data (ISO)

Bringing trailer intelligence to your fleet.

Trailers are often the least visible part of a fleet.

The ISO Trailer Data Parameter Group provides direct access to operational trailer information through the ISO 11992 communication network between the truck and trailer.

Fleet operators receive harmonised information about trailer identification, axle loads, cargo weight and Electronic Braking System (EBS) status, allowing trailers to be managed with the same level of intelligence as powered vehicles.

The ISO Trailer Data Parameter Group provides a complete operational overview of connected trailers, including identification, loading information and brake system status.

How does it work?

The Squarell IVMS uses a CANcliQ to safely read the ISO 11992 communication network between the truck and trailer.

The ISO Trailer Data Parameter Group continuously collects operational information from up to two connected trailers and converts this into one harmonised Parameter Group.

In addition to trailer identification and weight information, the Parameter Group also reports important Electronic Braking System (EBS), ABS and Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) status information.

Business Value

The ISO Trailer Data Parameter Group provides fleet operators with continuous operational insight into trailer status without requiring additional trailer hardware.

Knowing which trailer is connected, how heavily it is loaded and whether braking system warnings are active allows transport companies to improve planning, increase safety and respond more quickly to technical issues.

For fleets operating multiple trailers or road trains, the Parameter Group provides a consistent information source for trailer management and operational control.

Why Squarell?

Unlike standard telematics systems that often provide only basic trailer identification, Squarell directly accesses the ISO 11992 communication network using the proven CANcliQ technology.

This provides harmonised trailer information, brake system status and loading information without modifying the original vehicle wiring, enabling reliable trailer monitoring across different trailer manufacturers.
