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 Vehicle Mobile Connection Data?

Having mobile connection data lets everyone know the car can be accessed remotely. This data can be live, showing that a vehicle has strayed out of a mobile data area. Where fleet managers are informed that the vehicle data is not accessible and communication with the driver is not possible.

Use Cases

Knowing where there is no connection helps map out zones. If a vehicle needs to be constantly monitored, fleet managers can inform drivers to avoid these areas. With no access to mobile data connection, users are unsafe. With any problems not being identified by central operations. This results in liability issues if something went wrong during this time. Therefore modern vehicles must have constant access to mobile connection data and know the status if they don’t.
