Abstract

A trailer monitoring system for monitoring a trailer having at least one trailer sensor has a bridge integrator unit, configured to couple with the trailer, including a wireless data transceiver electrically coupled with a microcontroller and capable of wirelessly communicating data over a short-range wireless protocol; the bridge integrator unit receives data existing in a first messaging format that is compatible with and used by one or more trailer sensors via a short-range wireless protocol, extracts the data, encodes the data into a second messaging format that is compatible with a master control unit having a telematic data transceiver capable of cellular data communications, and transmits the data in the second messaging format from the bridge integrator unit to the master control unit via a short-range wireless protocol.
