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 Valet Mode Data?

Drivers need to be informed when their cars enter valet mode. Valet mode data is used to determine the status of the vehicle.

Use Cases

During a valet session, prohibited users are not able to access important vehicle features. Ideal for businesses that operate a fleet of vehicles, as data is not leaked when a vehicle is in valet mode.

The vehicle can also be accessed remotely and identified to see if it is in valet mode or not. With fleet managers knowing the status of the vehicle, they can authorise valet payments and understand how the driver is using the vehicle.
