Parvus will demonstrate a new Linux-ready in-vehicle computer on June 13, at the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) Rail Conference in New York City. The DuraCOR 1100 is a rugged, Intel Celeron-based “vehicle logic unit” (VLU) that targets “information-level applications” in road and rail transit… vehicles.

Parvus says its DuraCor 1100 lets ITS (intelligent transit system) integrators and transit agencies connect multiple on-board systems. The DuraCor 1100 is based on a custom embedded single-board computer (SBC) powered by a soldered-down Celeron processor. The SBC integrates a 12/24Volt vehicle power supply, “smart” system monitor with power and thermal sensors, multi-serial controller, digital I/O, and CAN, including support for J1708 and J1939. GPS (global positioning) is available as a standard option.

In addition to Linux, the DuraCor 1100 supports Windows XP Embedded.

Parvus also demonstrated a ruggedized Cisco wireless router, which it rebrands as the DuraMar 1000, at APTA on June 13.
