Indium Tech has been helping customers across domains by solving their business challenges by leveraging technology effectively. Indium Tech is making a unique mark in the automotive segment as well, by developing products such as two-wheeler automotive clusters, diagnostics units, automotive BLE module integration etc. This case study explores a case where we developed a telematics control unit for two-wheelers to address multiple business challenges. Our design positioned our client at an advantage in the automotive telematics market that is expected to reach over USD 2 billion by 2020.

Every driver has his own unique driving style. Hence it is not fair to have the same insurance premium for all drivers by considering only their age, location, and gender. A good driver has fewer chances of accidents compared to a rash driver and hence the premium could be lesser. To achieve their goal of replacing the current method of fixed insurance premium with dynamic premium based on the driver’s driving habit, they decided to implement an extensive vehicle telematics data analytics system. Besides, they wished to add more value to the product by increasing security features such as anti-theft GPS tracker, remote ignition control etc.

Indium Tech proposed a solution based on cutting-edge technologies to closely monitor the driving behaviour of the driver. In modern vehicle telematics device, Controller area network (CAN) is the primary interface to get vehicle data such as engine condition, coolant state, break information etc. Along with CAN based vehicle data, our embedded telematics design included an array of sensors that can provide deep insights to the vehicle handling. With our extensive automotive telematics knowledge and domain experience, a sensor fusion based algorithm detects driving pattern and classifies the driving quality effectively. In case of network connectivity issues, the data is logged internally and pushed once connectivity is restored. Using telematics data analytics, the driver driving behavior and pattern classification is done in the cloud back-end. Automotive IoT based Anti-theft solution Our client also wished to address vehicle security issue in their telematics solution by providing vehicle theft alerts, remote tracking and disabling to the vehicle owner and OEM.

Indium Tech leverages its deep domain expertise cutting across technology in Automotive and Cellular radio access networks (2G/3G/LTE) to deliver reliable and highly-innovative services comprising of cellular modem integration, middleware customization and Vehicle Data Processing for Automotive industry, which helps automakers stay ahead of the competition and demonstrate leadership in new markets.
