This paper is aimed to constitute a distributed system for remote monitoring and control of
construction vehicle. And this system is mainly divided into three parts: intelligent vehicle
monitoring terminal, remote monitoring center and communication system. The functions and
architectures of each part are discussed respectively in detail. The critical technologies of
implementing the system are also deeply studied, which include CAN bus technology, the embedded
system technology, mobile communication technology, database technology and so on. It is indicated
that this system will meet the requirements of all the users and clients, including the field operators,
construction managers, manufacturers, etc.
