The 2005 model year X-TRAIL FCV is fitted with an experimental telematics system that combines GPS technology with a cell phone. Position data and data stored in the vehicle controller are transmitted to a central server via a cell phone communications link. This system facilitates real-time collection of position data and driving data from vehicles being operated in remote locations. The collected data can be immediately analyzed and shared. It has been confirmed that the telematics system is an effective tool for data collection and analysis and that it enables vehicle data to be analyzed more efficiently.

Модель автомобиля на топливных элементах X-TRAIL 2005 г. оборудована экспериментальной телеинформационной системой, которая объединяет в себе технологию GPS и сотовой связи. Текущие координаты и данные, которые хранятся в контроллере автомобиля, передаются на центральный сервер по линии сотовой связи. Эта система облегчает задачу сбора данных о местоположении и параметрах хода автомобиля, находящегося на большом удалении, в режиме реального времени. Полученные данные могут быть незамедлительно обработаны и переданы для совместного доступа. Было показано, что телеинформационная система является эффективным средством сбора и анализа данных и что она обеспечивает более эффективную обработку данных.

Introduction
In the process of developing vehicles like fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) that are fitted with various new technologies, vehicle operational data obtained in real-world traffic environments represent valuable information. Unlike the situation for gasoline vehicles, there is not a large body of data on FCVs at this point. In order to promote the practical use of FCVs, there is a need to accumulate as much operational data as possible and to analyze the collected data quickly. To accomplish that, the speed at which data are collected must be markedly increased. In this connection, for the sake of vastly expanding the quantities of data available, a system should be constructed that facilitates easy data searches and provides data in an easy-to-use format.
Against this backdrop, we have focused on telematics that allows data to be collected in real time from vehicles being driven at remote sites. Telematics refers to the integrated use of telecommunications and informatics. In that sense, the term also includes driver information services like the CARWINGS service provided by Nissan Motor Company. In this paper, however, the term refers to a system for obtaining operational information on vehicles at remote locations by using a cell phone network.
Overview of Telematics System
System configuration The configuration of the telematics system considered here is illustrated in Fig. 1. The telematics unit installed in an FCV is connected to a GPS antenna and to the vehicle controller, enabling the device to simultaneously record position data and vehicle operational data. The data are transmitted to a central server via a cell phone.
The central server stores the vehicle data and transmits it whenever there is a download request from a client PC. Data transmission and management are processed by the software of the telematics management system on the central server. This management system embodies a security function that allows data access only to authorized users.
The client PCs of users can be connected to the central server either via the Internet or an in-house local area network (LAN). Users can easily access and download the data stored on the central server. Vehicle data are stored on the central server at the same time that a vehicle is being used, enabling users to obtain operational data in real time.

possible to achieve the drive recorder function. This system enables drive recorder data to be sent sequentially to the central server. When a vehicle enters a tunnel, an underground parking facility or some other place outside the service area of the cell phone network where data transmission is impossible, data are stored in the memory card. Data transmission is then resumed again when the vehicle returns to the service area of the cell phone network.

Methods of transmitting data during vehicle operation The methods used by the telematics unit to transmit data are outlined in Fig. 2. Two types of methods are used for recording data: event trigged data collection and a drive recorder.

With the former method, certain load conditions or events that a user wants to analyze are defined in advance among the data collected in real time. When there is a match with a specified event, it triggers the recording of detailed data. At the time the event triggers the collection of data, the central server can send an email notice to the user who defined that event.
The drive recorder constantly records vehicle data while the vehicle is being driven and transmits the data in turn to the central server.
Vehicle position data are recorded as both event triggered data and drive recorder data. To accommodate requests for confirmation of position data alone, the telematics unit has a function for transmitting only position data periodically.
Specifications of telematics unit The specifications of the telematics unit are given in Table. The domestic specification in Japan adopts the use of third-generation (3G) cell phones that can be used in all areas of the country. The data transmission rate of 3G phones is approximately 40 times faster than that of 2G phones. Equipping the telematics unit with a memory card function and using the unit in combination with a 3G phone having a high data transfer rate made it
For the North American specification, 2G phones were selected which have wide service coverage throughout the state of California where the California Fuel Cell Partnership (CaFCP) is based.
Fig. 3 shows the appearance of the domestic telematics unit for use in Japan. The communications port is connected to the vehicle controller by means of a communications cable. A PCMCIA memory card is used, though a compact flash (CF) card can also be used. The expansion port (unused in this study) has functions for analog input and serial communications. Special measuring instruments or peripheral devices can be connected to this port for transmitting their data. The telematics unit has a built-in battery that facilitates data transmission even after the vehicle's ignition system is turned off. This enables the subsequent transmission of data that could not be transmitted during driving due to the condition of the cell phone signal or for some other reason.

management system is operated from a user's client PC. By using this management system, a user can display the path driven by a vehicle like that shown in Fig. 4, as well as download data and display the vehicle speed in real time. From this PC screen, a user can send commands to telematics units in vehicles at remote locations to set the parameters to be measured or to change the data recording cycle.
