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 Notifications Data?

Having a list of actions, knowing which actions are activated and the text informing users about the action are all part of Notifications data. Users need the ability to clear notifications too, as too much information listed at once can be overwhelming for users. Especially, if they have already completed that action.

Use Cases

A driver may switch on the climate control feature, notifications data is processed to display to users which temperature and fan speed the climate control has been set to. Users may switch to different entertainment sources in the vehicle, and knowing which radio station or device is connected is important to receive feedback.

Notification data can also be sent over the air using telematics devices. Fleet managers who centrally monitor a range of vehicles can receive notification data that a user has activated a command on a vehicle.
