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 Navigation Destination Data?

Combining all of the necessary journey information, navigation destination data uses accurate readings from GPS and mobile data networks. Converting addresses to coordinates, mapping out points of interest (POIs), and determining journey time.

Navigation Destination Data points include remaining time until reaching your destination, name of the destination, POI data slots available, and distance until reaching the destination.

Use Cases

Constant GPS monitoring allows users to know when they will arrive at a location. They can schedule meetings, or call ahead if they are running late. Fleet managers can use Navigation Destination Data to predict how long their vehicles will take to reach destinations too.

Navigation Destination Data can also be used to add bespoke points of interest. If a user needs to visit several locations often, the POI data is useful to store these on the vehicle's navigation system.
