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 Theft Alarm Data?

Items such as the position of the last theft event relative to the vehicle, the date of the last alarm trigger, the level of impact of the last event and more. Theft alarm data also records the reason why the alarm was activated, whether the interior theft protection or tow sensors were triggered and the status of the vehicle currently.

Use Cases

Knowing how a vehicle was broken into shows what steps businesses can take to prevent theft in the future. It also shows if the thief intended to steal any item that was being towed using the tow protection status data.

Vehicle history can also be explored to show if the vehicle had been stolen in the past. Ideal for fleet managers to identify a vehicle on their fleet or one they intend to purchase. The vehicle may be needed to be handed back to the original owner if it was found to be stolen - theft alarm data can assist with this.
