Connected Vehicle Sensor Platform

The Connected Vehicle Sensor Platform [CVSP] is a wireless bridge between a vehicle and a central server.

This enables real-time, event based or periodic two-way communication between the vehicle and a central

server. This enables remote following of individual vehicles or a complete fleet. The CVSP consists of a

number of core hardware and software building blocks, but these are easy to be changed, added or removed.

These customizations are customer specific as well as the development of the overall application. The CVSP is

available as OEM module.

Building Blocks

Connectivity

• GPRS: insert a SIM card and start 2-way communication via a central server

• USB: directly communicate with the CVSP during setup or to readout the recording memory in case

there is no GPRS module present

• Bluetooth 4.0 Smart (low energy): 2-way communication with another Bluetooth Smart enabled PC or

smart device (mobile phone or tablet), range up to 10m

• CAN bus: read/write events to the CAN bus, filter on certain events or sequences, advanced

read/write scripting possibilities*

* Expert knowledge of the CAN bus is required, although the CAN bus is a standardized protocol, each

vehicle brand uses specific and unique messages

• I2C bus

• SPI bus

• Digital I/O: protected digital in and outputs.

o Inputs: read for example if vehicle contact slot is on or off.

o Outputs: trigger vehicle alarm, break ignition etc.

• Analog I/O: protected analog input signals.

• 1-Wire: prepared for 1-Wire communication.

• Programming interface.

Potential Applications

with the same platform and device!

• Start-stop system for vehicles (retrofit market) with possibility to send fuel savings to the cloud (using

GPRS or via Smartdevice with Bluetooth Smart) for end-users or fleet owners.

• Remote monitoring and alarm in case of fuel theft or breaking in the vehicle using cloud service for

fleet owners or end-users.

• Location tracking of vehicles, coupled with for example acceleration data (hard breaking, drive style

etc)

• Insight in fuel consumption

• Remote car diagnostics service

• Driver & road tracking (fatigue, collisions etc) (requires camera)
