Update Regarding ELD Compliance

Omnitracs will be submitting an update to the ELD certification documentation provided on the FMCSA ELD Website to indicate that IVG DA1007R is the minimum ELD-compliant version of the IVG.

The IVG DA1007R update includes corrections to ELD functionality that were necessary to comply with the U.S. ELD Mandate. Updating to this version of the IVG is required to maintain an ELD-compliant device. IVG versions previous to version DA1007R are no longer considered ELD-compliant.

Please update your devices at your earliest convenience to ensure you are running IVG version DA1007R.

New Features and Enhancements

HOS Updates in Support of Revised FMCSA Rules

Several updates have been made in preparation for revised FMCSA Hours of Service rules that will take effect on September 29, 2020. The rules have been updated to allow greater flexibility for drivers without affecting their safety.

You can see the final rule on the FMCSA website.

Most of the changes described below will not require any action from drivers, and they will not take effect until the FMCSA changes begin on September 29. The information below provides an overview of the updates made to the IVG in support of the rule changes.

Updates to Sleeper Berth

OHOS-1141, OHOS-2257, OHOS-2473, OHOS-2330, OHOS-2256

The new FMCSA rules will affect Sleeper Berth requirements as follows:

Drivers using U.S. Federal Rules that allow them to split their 10-hour reset will be able to take their required 10 hours of off-duty time in two periods, as long as one off-duty period (whether in or out of the sleeper berth) is at least two hours long and the other involves at least seven consecutive hours spent in the sleeper berth. Neither qualifying period counts against the 14-hour duty clock.
If the new split sleeper rules are in effect, drivers in the U.S. will be able to check Will Pair SB in the Status tab of the Hours of Service screen so their available hours will be calculated using an optimistic view of available hours and they will be informed when they need to shut down according to sleeper berth regulations.
The Passenger Rule will allow a co-driver to take a combination of Sleeper Berth time of at least seven consecutive hours and up to three hours riding in the passenger seat of a moving vehicle, either immediately before or after the Sleeper Berth time, amounting to at least 10 consecutive hours.
While the co-driver is still off-duty, the Change Status screen will remind the driver that the sleeper berth is required.

For drivers in Canada, the system will continue to calculate sleeper berth time based on Canadian sleeper berth regulations.

Rest Break Changes

OHOS-1140, OHOS-2255

Drivers using U.S. Federal rules will be able to take their 30-minute rest break while they are in any duty status other than Drive. In addition, they will only be required to take the rest break after eight cumulative hours of driving.

The qualifying 30-minute rest break can be a combination of any duty status other than Drive. Personal Conveyance and Yard Move will also qualify toward the rest break. On the Change Status screen, when the rest break clock has two hours or less remaining and the driver is not in a Driving status, a warning message will tell drivers how many minutes they have left before they complete their 30-minute rest break.

Note: The modified warning message will not appear until the new FMCSA rules take effect on September 29, 2020. Until then, drivers will see the current message.

Updated Mobile Alerts

OHOS-2252

The mobile now alerts drivers when they are running out of Drive time due to the rest break requirement. The alerts are based on the new rest break requirements. The alert will be repeated as necessary at one hour, 30 minutes, and 15 minutes before violation occurs.

Note: This alert will appear both before and after September 29, 2020.

Additional HOS Features

The Certify tab now includes a Location column that shows the driver where the duty status occurred.
To ensure accurate logs, drivers can now edit Yard Move and Personal Conveyance statuses as long as those statuses are enabled for the fleet and driver. They can change YM or PC to a non-driving status or change YM to PC and vice versa.
The active driver can now choose Drive status manually. This allows drivers to record their duty status accurately even if the ELD malfunctions.

CEV Updates - Pittasoft Cameras

In order for users with Pittasoft cameras to avoid large time offsets between the mobile unit and the camera's clock, after users set the camera time, they must command the camera to restart so it can apply the time setting. Because the camera must be restarted, users must NOT set the time when they connect to the camera to process a video event. Users should only set the time when they are:

pairing with the camera for the first time
changing the configuration of the camera, either due to HOS duty status changes or a CDEF change
connecting to the camera specifically to check the time (once an hour)

Updates to Manifest Receipt

Manifest downloads are now staggered in order to improve performance and avoid network issues.

Canadian NMC Move

This release includes updated IP addresses for the Canadian Network Management Cloud (NMCs), which will be moved to the United States by the end of Q3 CY2020. This change does not directly affect customers or functionality.

Support TPH to SMS over Sprint

With this release, SMS functionality is enabled on IVG 3G units for Sprint.

Driver Log Updates

Manual vs. Automatic Driving

Changes have been made that identify manual versus automatic driving. These changes were made to support a future host update that will allow the editing of manual driving.

Split Statuses in Log

If a driver chooses to continue in Drive when no vehicle movement is detected, the log will split the status, indicating when the automatic Drive status ended and the manual Drive status began.

Camera Status and SD Card Status Updates

The syncing of the data for the Camera Health and Camera Status reports has been improved to enhance the resulting diagnoses.
Non-essential camera status updates have been eliminated via automatic validation based on the persistence of the condition.
The camera status will be sent at least once a day even when the status of the camera has not changed.
The IVG now supports Bendix camera Lane Departure Warnings (LDWs).

Updated Carrier PRLs

OOTIS-25541

This release incorporates updated carrier Preferred Roaming Lists (PRLs). These updates will result in network improvement.

Support for Next-Generation TTID Device

IVG version DA1007R supports the next-generation Trailer Tracks ID (TTID) device. The new TTID device provides immediate verification to drivers of the correct Trailer ID association and functions as a tethered trailer tracking solution when it is used as a standalone on Enterprise Services platforms.

IVG users with an IVG connected to a TTID or TT210 device can see the Trailer ID information displayed in the main screen of the Trailer Tracks application (Trailers tab > Settings > About Device). This means users can see which ID belongs to the trailer that is hooked up to the tractor.

Note: Tethered Trailer Tracking must be enabled on the ELD in order to view and transmit trailer connection data.

Support for On Guard Plus CMS

The IVG now supports the new On Guard Plus collision mitigation system (CMS) that detects haptic and CMS Forward Collision Warning (FCW) events.

Known Issues

For drivers in the U.S., the Hours of Service rules engine will no longer grant the sleeper berth split if the driver exceeds either the 14-hour driving window or 11-hour maximum driving limits prior to the second period of Off Duty.

Fixes

Work Item Number	Issue
OHOS-2401	ERODS files were being transmitted with events that contained no user information. This issue has been resolved.
OHOS-980	Some drivers were being prompted to certify logs ending on a date far in the future. This issue has been resolved.
OOTIS-24668	An issue that prevented 2020 Volvos from reporting hard brake events has been resolved.
OOTIS-25314	An issue that caused some driver logs to reflect the incorrect time has been resolved.
OOTIS-24805	The IVG now supports Brother printer model RJ4230B.
OOTIS-25310	An issue involving corruption of IVG 3G Gemalto firmware has been resolved.
OHOS-206	The header field in some ELD logs indicated that a Compliance Malfunction had occurred when there was no compliance malfunction event on that day. This issue has been resolved.
OHOS-12	On rare occasions, eRODS files were missing intermediate logs. This issue has been resolved.
OHOS-11	Previously, the IVG used a manual VIN at start-up and an automatic VIN at shutdown. ERODS files treated the two VINs as two different vehicles, which caused problems with ERODS file transfers. This issue has been resolved; the IVG now uses the last known valid VIN from the ECM.
OHOS-9	Several changes have been made to prevent missing timing compliance malfunctions from being recorded.
OOTIS-23774	On occasion, drivers trying to launch Omnitracs Navigation got stuck on the "Please wait" screen as a result of over-the-air map download. This issue has been resolved.
OOTIS-22452	For some users, the unit would not boot up a few days after an OS43 USB stick upgrade. This issue has been resolved.
OOTIS-23046	Those using a Brother PocketJet 722 printer sometimes found that the text became misaligned, resulting in printouts that did not fit on one page. This issue has been resolved.
OOTIS-24397	If an ELD driver who was not in Driving status moved a vehicle at a speed lower than the 5 MPH ELD driving threshold, stopped the vehicle, and then manually changed the duty status within six minutes after stopping, the status was being backdated to the time the vehicle stopped, causing the driver to lose time. The duty status is now time stamped with the current time and is not backdated.
OOTIS-25062	The DriveWyze icon is now always available to those who have DriveWyze enabled.
OHOS-18572	Some eRODS file transfers were failing because the file included negative engine hours. This issue has been resolved.
