It's certainly off road, but is the engine running.... This example from a recent audit map review highlights one of the nuances of using telematics device data for FTC. How reliable is the ignition state data and when might it be lying? Some of the common methods and their drawbacks are: 🔑 Hard-wired inputs from the ignition key assembly ➜ May not differentiate between 'Accessory' and 'On' positions ⚙️ Reading the CAN Bus for the ignition reference or engine RPMs ➜ Not available for all vehicles and dependent on CAN configuration 🛰️ Detecting speed breaching a threshold value by comparing sequential GPS readings ➜ Will not detect idling and can give false readings if the vehicle experiences motion via other means (such as on board a ferry). 📟 Detecting movement via on-device accelerometer ➜ Same as above. No single method is perfect so increasingly device manufacturers are combining multiple inputs to determine if a vehicle really is running, or just moving. Spot and resolve edge cases like this before they come up in an audit. Talk with us about automating your FTC today.

Proven, Unbeatable Accuracy in All Automotive Braking Tests SPEEDBOX-INS and CATS-INS Brake Testing CATS-INS Integrated testing system harnessing of the independently proven, unbeatable accuracy of the SPEEDBOX-INS alongside the dependable DL2 data logger and DASH4PRO display. Set up tests, view and review live results on the DASH4PRO display. <2cm error for 100 to 0 km/h braking tests Compact and quick to install 200Hz measurements from SPEEDBOX-INS 0.08 degrees yaw, 0.04 degrees roll and pitch accuracy Tactical grade IMU ensures no outages even with challenging GPS conditions SPEEDBOX-INS outperforms all GPS only systems in braking tests. The combined GPS and inertial sensors overcome the speed overshoot problems seen with all GPS only systems. The speed difference between the roof mounted antenna of a GPS only system and the speed at the centre of gravity = a trigger time difference of 0.0187 seconds, which at the 100km/h trigger speed = a distance of 0.519m.

Telematics alone isn’t enough. Telematics has limitations when it comes to controlling the core functions of the electric vehicle. OEMs must add a VCU in addition to their vehicle architectures. VCU leverages AI, Machine Learning (ML), and Big Data to anticipate and prevent issues before they arise. For example, VCU's AI/ML can detect a pattern of overheating batteries at specific locations and times under certain speed conditions. The model then proactively simulates different speed adjustments to identify the optimal strategy for lowering battery temperatures. Read the article by Yasser that details the reason why Telematics is not enough for EV! #ev
