InHand Networks OBC800

The OBC800 on-board computer is purpose-built for public transport, rail and commercial fleet operators. Driven by a high-performance octa-core ARM Cortex processor with a built-in AI accelerator, it delivers responsive HMI, driver-assistance inference and rich edge analytics. ITxPT VCG-Ready architecture integrates 5G/LTE, Wi-fi 6, 4 x Gigabit Ethernet, fMS CAN, J1939 / OBD-II and dual-band GNSS with onmodule Dead Reckoning, for seamless deployment alongside ticketing, AVL, passenger information and CCTV subsystems. Native support for Linux and Docker containers, combined with a TPM 2.0 hardware root-of-trust and EU RED-DA cybersecurity baseline, ensures long-term maintainability and secure overthe- air upgrades across the entire fleet lifecycle.

Features and Advantages

• Robust 5G & Wi-Fi 6 connectivity
  Supports 5G NR Sub-6 (SA/NSA, 3GPP Rel.16) with up to 2.4 Gbps downlink, or LTE Cat 6 (300/50 Mbps) for cost-optimised deployments. Concurrent 2x2 MIMO Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax, 2.4/5 GHz, WPA3) plus 4 x Gigabit Ethernet enables in-vehicle backbone for ticketing and CCTV.


• GNSS + Dead Reckoning (allin-one)
  Dual-band L1+L5 receiver simultaneously tracks GPS, BDS, Galileo, GLONASS, QZSS and NavIC, reducing multi-path effects in urban canyons and shortening cold-start time. The all-in-one module integrates a 6-axis IMU and Dead Reckoning fusion for continuous positioning in tunnels and depots, with drift below 2% of distance travelled.


• ITxPT VCG-Ready
  Compliant with ITxPT v2.x VCG (Vehicle Communication Gateway) module specification covering IP-Bus, FMS, Time, GNSS-Position, VehicleInfo, MQTT and SystemMonitoring services. Pre-integrated as a drop-in replacement alongside INIT, Trapeze and IVU ecosystems with minimal integration effort.


• Driving behavior & safety monitoring
  100 Hz raw IMU data feeds real-time detection of harsh acceleration, hard braking, sharp turns and impact events. Combined with the on-board AI accelerator, OBC800 supports optional driver fatigue / distraction inference for ADAS-lite passenger-safety scenarios on buses and coaches.


• Vehicle diagnostics & FMS
  Dual CAN 2.0B channels: one user CAN plus a dedicated FMS / J1939 / OBD-II interface compliant with bus & coach industry standards. Diagnostic data, odometer, fuel level and door status are exposed via ITxPT IP-Bus services for unified fleet analytics and predictive maintenance.


• Edge AI & containerized apps
  A built-in 6 TOPS AI accelerator delivers on-vehicle inference for passenger counting (APC), driver-behavior recognition, anomaly detection and CCTV analytics. The Linux runtime ships with Docker for containerized custom AI workloads, deployed and updated via remote OTA orchestration


• Fleet management platform
  Supports access to InHand or a 3rd-party fleet management platform to perform task assignment, route planning, vehicle tracking, real-time messaging, geofencing, etc.


• Cybersecurity foundation
  Infineon TPM 2.0 (SLB9670) anchors verified boot, encrypted storage and per-device certificates. EU RED-DA (2024/30/EU) cybersecurity baseline and PSA Level 1 certification roadmap, with signed OTA, role-based access control and full audit logging for GDPR-compliant fleet operations.


• Rail & Bus grade reliability
  EN 50155 Class T1 (-25 to +70 deg C, full functional), EN 61373 Cat 1 Class B shock & vibration and EN 45545-2 HL2 fire & smoke resistance. Die-cast aluminum housing, IP40 ingress protection, 9-36 VDC isolated input with delayed ignition; M12 connectors meet rail and heavy-duty bus engineering standards.
