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 Multi Command Data?

Packaged up into bytes, multi-command data is sent internally to various vehicle modules. They can also be sent remotely to central fleet operations over mobile data networks. Multi commands are split into outgoing commands and incoming states.

Use Cases

A request from an end user who is monitoring a vehicle remotely is sent to the vehicle. The user may be requesting a lot of information at once and the vehicle needs to process it once it has been received. These multi commands are received by the vehicle, processed, and returned to the end user in real-time thanks to onboard CPUs and telematics devices.
