Vehicle management solution

How the vehicle management solution works

The vehicle management solution enables cloud-based services throughout the entire vehicle lifetime.

The vehicle management solution offers an access/communication channel into the vehicle, with a consistent solution for the entire vehicle life cycle (pre-/ post-SOP), thus providing a software solution/IT infrastructure as an enabler for cloud-based services.

How basic software module works

Access/communication channel into the vehicle
The vehicle management solution enables access to individual vehicles or to entire vehicle fleets, covering all vehicle segments.

Data acquisition
Relevant vehicle information is acquired flexibly and passed on to the ECU in the vehicle, whereby intelligent preselection keeps the data traffic on the CAN bus and to the server down to a minimum.

Data transmission
The CCU in the vehicle analyses, aggregates and encrypts the data received and transmits it, including the GPS position, to a central server quickly and securely.

How data management module works

Data storage
The data is stored securely on a central server and kept available for evaluations/analyses.

Data analysis, preparation and visualization
Customer-specific, efficient data analysis and professional data visualization.

Results to the OEM/user interface
The data measured, analyzed and prepared in the vehicles is made available to the customer using a transparent user interface.

Enabler for cloud-based services
The vehicle management solution with the two basic and data management software modules, acts as an enabler for cloud-based services.
