  • OBD systems use a suitable digital communication port through which, once connected to a special external test unit, it is possible to obtain real-time information relating to the state of the vehicle, together with reports of vehicle faults and malfunctions through standard DTC codes (Diagnostic Trouble Codes).
  • the OBD digital communication port meets predefined standards common to all models and makes of vehicles and can be connected to an external diagnosis unit by means of a respective connector.
  • monitoring appliances installable on board a vehicle and usable for detecting the way the vehicle itself is used over time.
  • Such appliances find application, e.g., in the insurance field, to determine personalized rates on the basis of the actual use of the vehicle, in the environmental field, for the real-time detection of the polluting emissions of a vehicle, or in the management of vehicle rental, in order to achieve greater automation of the charging, pickup and delivery procedures of vehicles.
  • the appliances of known type generally comprise a control unit installable on board of the vehicle, inside the vehicle compartment, and connectable to the electronics of the vehicle itself.
  • Such appliances also comprise a radio- wave device, of the type commonly used in the field of mobile telephones such as, e.g., a GSM, GPRS, UMTS transceiver or the like.
  • a radio- wave device of the type commonly used in the field of mobile telephones such as, e.g., a GSM, GPRS, UMTS transceiver or the like.
  • the radio-wave device in particular supports the sending of information gathered by the appliance to a remote data processing and storage station.
  • the radio-wave device is used to receive, from the remote station, management software updates and/or appropriate parameterizations of the appliance on board of the vehicle.
  • These appliances generally also comprise a satellite receiver, of the type of a
  • GPS receiver for the location of the vehicle using the detected coordinates of latitude, longitude and possibly altitude.
  • the operation of the appliance involves the gathering at regular time intervals of information regarding the position of the vehicle via the GPS receiver and the subsequent transmission of such information to the remote station by means of the radio- wave device.
  • the information thus gathered by the remote station is then processed for the determination of data useful for the specific area of application.
  • Further information may be gathered by the appliance through the use of further devices such as, e.g., an accelerometer installed on the vehicle and able to detect shocks and sudden accelerations and decelerations.
  • further devices such as, e.g., an accelerometer installed on the vehicle and able to detect shocks and sudden accelerations and decelerations.
  • the accelerometer in particular, can be used in the insurance field to determine the dynamics of an accident and, therefore, related responsibilities.
  • the appliance In general, in fact, the appliance must be installed inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle, on the dashboard, and must be suitably connected to the power supply of the vehicle itself.
  • This installation procedure is commonly performed by connecting the power supply cables of the appliance to the supply line of the vehicle and requires the intervention of a skilled technician and a fair amount of time, thereby increasing total costs.
  • the main aim of the present invention is to provide an adapter for OBD connectors on board of vehicles allowing to simplify and speed up the installation of an electrical appliance on board of a vehicle.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an adapter for OBD connectors on board of vehicles allowing to overcome the mentioned drawbacks of the prior art within the ambit of a simple, rational, easy, effective use and affordable solution.
