Connected Vehicle Data

Using telematics devices, cars can distribute data for many purposes for an end-user. Car data is created by electrical sensors linked to the ECU or Electronic Control Unit. An ECU is linked to an onboard telematics device which transmits live data. A user in a central location receives this data over the air, with an end interface that can be configured in a way that works for their business.Many attributes of a car can be transmitted live or at set intervals using GPS and mobile data networks.

Using car data, fleet management companies analyse their vehicles to help reduce costs, prevent maintenance issues and schedule service appointments in advance. Governments and councils can use car technical data to better manage traffic. Insurance companies can have real-world use cases for their customers and the introduction of smart cities with connected cars results in more efficient infrastructure. Most importantly, emergency services receive live vehicle data to accurately locate an accident, with automatic triggers to call ambulances if the vehicle senses it is in a severe accident.

What Is Driver Fatigue Data?

Sensors housed in the dash or above the driver's head monitor head and eye position. This driver fatigue data ensures there is minimal risk of drivers falling asleep on the road. Once this is detected, alarms can sound and vibrations in the seat wake the driver up to make them concentrate on the road.

Use Cases

If a driver is too fatigued, an alert can be sent to fleet managers. Making them aware that the driver is no longer able to drive safely. This reduces the likelihood of crashes and is the ultimate safety feature. As driver fatigue is a big factor in today’s vehicle crashes.

Preventing driving when drivers are too tired will ensure no risk of the company or contents that a vehicle is storing will be damaged. If the incident already has occurred, then driver fatigue data can be used to determine if the driver was not alert enough to drive.
