Smartphone Digital Access for Vehicle Owners

Smartphones are reducing the need to carry credit cards for payment. Now, owners can also leave their car keys at home, and instead use their smartphone to securely access and lock their vehicle. As the owner approaches the car, the car and smartphone communicate through the connected vehicle system to authenticate the digital key and verify the policy, giving full access to all aspects of the car. The owner can set parameters in the app and the in-car infotainment system to customize the ride: seat position, climate control preferences, infotainment preferences, etc. These preferences are saved so the car automatically recalls these preferences upon entry.

Upon leaving, the vehicle can be securely locked from the smartphone. All of this can be accomplished whether user’s phone is online or offline. The connected vehicle system monitors any unauthorised access attempts.

Vehicle Fleet Health Status for Fleet Owners and OEMs

Our connected vehicle system gives you a comprehensive overview about the current health and status of your vehicles. The vehicle periodically collects the information of all available electronic control units and generates a vehicle health and system state protocol. This contains for each vehicle:

Electronic Identification: Hardware and Software Part Numbers, Version and Serial Numbers.
Diagnostic Error codes (DTCs) and environmental data, which support the repair process before the vehicle reaches the garage.

As an OEM, the portal and backend solution also provides the possibility to define and execute Software-Over-The-Air update operations for all ECUs in the vehicle, push configuration changes or execute remote diagnostics to troubleshoot field problems, saving time and money on new vehicle launches and during the complete program life.

As a leader in cloud, advanced analytics and the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, Microsoft is empowering organizations to achieve more through digital transformation. Digital transformation is fundamentally reshaping the automotive industry, with connected vehicles creating new opportunities for automotive manufacturers (OEMs), Tier one suppliers, and ecosystem partners.

Delivering an end-to-end connected car solution requires investment in digital technologies and partnerships.

Smartphone Digital Key Sharing for Vehicle Owners and Fleet Operators

Vehicles increasingly have multiple users, within families, as ride-shares or as fleet vehicles. Access via smartphone can be shared amongst specific people, each with specific usage privileges. A teenage daughter, for example, might require restrictions on maximum speed, locations, time-of day, and access to the trunk. A ride-share user might get certain geographic boundaries given their subscription plan. A dealer or fleet manager might want to grant access for certain dates or times.

All of this can be accomplished via the connected vehicle system, with all permitted or unauthorised access monitored. Digital keys may be revoked at any time by the owner or fleet manager. Keys can be shared either locally, via direct communication between the owner’s and additional user’s phones, or remotely between them via the internet.

Vehicle Data Analytics Using Live Telemetry for Fleet Operators and OEMs

Whether fleet operator or OEM—Monitoring of vehicles on the road to detect defective systems or critical situations improves safety and saves time and money. Reduce the maintenance of your vehicle fleet by taking advantage of comprehensive, real-time operation data monitoring in combination with data analytics and predictive maintenance: Our connected vehicle system with its intelligent hardware and software not only helps you to recognize maintenance needs by enabling live insights into health and location of your vehicles on the road and referring to faulty conditions. It also enables you to notify the driver of problems even before they occur.

All data collected from the vehicle (CAN trace logs, vehicle state, position, etc.) together with additional information from other sources (vehicle configuration, etc.) is documented in the connected vehicle platform and can be analyzed. Using clustering and multivariate analysis, the system can provide valuable and deep insights via customizable dashboards that help to understand vehicle performance and possible relationships that point to root causes of problems. Such relationships can then be used to perform analysis, confirm issues and issue possible fixes. Based on this, drivers can automatically be notified when such patterns are detected in the vehicle.
