Efficient data monetization presents both a significant opportunity and challenge for the automotive industry. MOTER Technologies identified edge processing as the key technology for accelerating data monetization while focusing on insurance use cases. MOTER wanted to build the key infrastructure needed to showcase their solution across a small fleet of vehicles. It was critical to develop a low impact embedded solution that could meet the strict requirements of automotive-grade software. This included an initial minimal viable product (MVP), scaling to a real-life fleet scenario and building an example to show target customers.
Luxoft was chosen to build this platform and firstly develop an MVP for 10 devices using the NXP hardware. The solution was scaled up to 500 vehicles. This new edge architecture has been submitted as an open-source standard to SOAFEE.
The solution uses containers to collect and process the data and to act as a local data broker. These containers are tied to the cloud and stored through an AWS IoT Greengrass component. To enable deployment as an aftermarket option, we leveraged a dongle option in the ODB2 port.
Data monetization is a key challenge and opportunity for automakers in their evolution to SDVs; the platform that we built for MOTER enables the safe and secure deployment of third-party applications into the automotive ecosystem.
We are very happy with the outcomes of this project since we now have a concrete, real-life example to show to automakers and insurance companies. This has triggered a lot of interest and we are really excited with all these data monetization opportunities.
