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 Lights Data?

High Mobility uses an array of light data points to determine the status of the vehicle. The emergency brake light, fog lights, front exterior, interior, parking light, reading lamps, rear exterior light and reverse light. Also interior data points such as the position of the rotary light switch, and the colour of the ambient lighting inside.

Use Cases

When a vehicle door is open, the reading lamps may switch on. This indicates to fleet managers that drivers have the door open, or are using the reading lamp in the vehicle.

Lights are important for safety and if a light is not functioning when it should (i.e. brake lights when pressing the brake), Lights Data is used to determine the fault in the lighting system.
