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 Status Data?

Knowing the status of a vehicle shows its roadworthiness. If a diagnostics scan proves the vehicle to be faulty, it will not be suitable to drive until the fault is fixed. With remote access to vehicles using High Mobility’s advanced API, vehicle status data can be monitored. Ideal for companies that manage a fleet, as alternative vehicles can be identified if the vehicle status data shows a problem.

Use Cases

If a fleet management operator, such as a rental company clerk needs to choose a specific vehicle for a customer. Vehicle status data gives them an overview of their whole fleet on a database, or user interface and identifies which are suitable to drive and which are not.
