FAQ on In‑Vehicle PCs
An in‑vehicle PC is a computer specifically developed to be installed in vehicles. It is characterized by vehicle‑typical power supply (e.g. 12 V / 24 V), a rugged housing, special use‑cases, and often wireless and location communication. Ideal for control, visualization, telematics, or communication applications in mobile environments.
In‑vehicle PCs offer specific advantages like extended voltage ranges (e.g. 8–36 V DC), rugged connectors (e.g. M12), vibration- and temperature-resistant design, as well as integrated wireless modules (LTE, 5G, GPS). These features make them more reliable in vehicle and outdoor use than conventional PCs, which are often designed for office or data‑center environments.
Important criteria include power supply range, interface types, wireless and location technology, as well as protection class and mounting options. For example, Darveen hardware supports 8–36 V DC, M12 connectors for I/O, WiFi, Bluetooth, LTE/5G, GPS, plus resilient case design and vibration resistance.
Modules like WiFi, Bluetooth, LTE/5G, and GPS are useful for constant connectivity and location determination. This enables vehicles to communicate live, send and receive data, support navigation, and allow fleet management — even while moving and under changing network conditions.
Mounting options include vehicle dashboards, installation in the cargo area or machine compartment, DIN‑rail mounting, or box solutions inside the vehicle. Depending on the model, the device can be flexibly integrated into the vehicle with secure attachments and shielded connections, so it withstands vibration and movement.
Many systems support Windows, Linux, or Android — depending on the model. This allows automation, telematics, or data‑processing software to run directly on board, facilitating vehicle integration, data logging, or remote maintenance.
In‑vehicle PCs are designed for long-term operation under vehicle conditions — e.g. high temperatures, vibration, and changing environments. Manufacturers usually offer spare parts, long-life components, and software updates so that the systems remain stable in fleet operation.
Yes — devices can often be configured in terms of processor, memory, wireless modules, interfaces, and housing to suit the exact vehicle and application scenario — e.g. with LTE/5G module, CAN-bus connection, or high-quality connectors for mobile use.
An in‑vehicle PC is specifically designed for vehicle or mobile use (power, housing, mounting, communication), while embedded/industrial PCs are more often designed for static installation in industrial environments. The vehicle version typically requires mobile networks, location communication, and wide vehicle-compatible voltage ranges — features that standard industrial PCs may not support.
