New service makes it easier for automotive
companies to collect, transform, and transfer vehicle data to the
cloud in near real time, enabling improved vehicle quality and
autonomy

Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com, Inc. company
(NASDAQ: AMZN), today announced the general availability of AWS IoT
FleetWise, a new service that makes it easier for automotive
companies to collect, transform, and transfer vehicle data to the
cloud in near real time. Automakers, suppliers, fleet operators,
and technology solution vendors in the automotive industry can use
AWS IoT FleetWise to collect and organize vehicle data more easily,
and to store the data in a standardized way for data analysis in
the cloud. AWS IoT FleetWise helps automotive companies efficiently
transfer data to the cloud in near real time using the service’s
intelligent data-collection capabilities. These capabilities allow
developers to reduce the amount of data transferred to the cloud by
defining rules for when to collect and transfer it based on
configurable parameters (e.g., vehicle temperature, speed, and
type). Once the data is in the cloud, automotive companies can use
it for applications that analyze vehicle fleet health to more
quickly identify potential recalls or safety issues, make
in-vehicle infotainment systems smarter, or improve advanced
technologies like autonomous driving and advanced driver-assistance
systems with analytics and machine learning. There are no upfront
costs to use AWS IoT FleetWise, and customers pay only for the
underlying services used. To get started with AWS IoT FleetWise,

“Automotive companies want to use the broad portfolio of AWS
services to help manage the vast amounts of data coming from
connected vehicles, but they have lacked a solution that made it
easier to collect, transform, and transfer data to the cloud,” said
Mike Tzamaloukas, general manager of IoT automotive at AWS. “Now,
with AWS IoT FleetWise, customers can easily pinpoint the exact
vehicle data they need and analyze it in a standardized format to
gain actionable insights into the vehicle’s health status and
performance. Automotive companies can now use the data extracted
through AWS IoT FleetWise to help improve vehicle quality, safety,
and autonomy.”
Automotive companies have been collecting data from basic
vehicle sensors for over a decade to evaluate operational and
safety indicators like engine temperature and vehicle stability.
Automotive companies today are building vehicles with advanced
sensors (e.g., radar and cameras) that create vast amounts of
data—in some cases up to 2 terabytes of data every hour. Automotive
customers want to collect, standardize, and analyze this data in
the cloud to quickly and easily derive insights that can help
improve vehicle quality, safety, and autonomy. However,
transferring this data to the cloud can be cost prohibitive and
time consuming. Additionally, the growing variety of vehicle makes,
models, and trims that generate data in different proprietary
formats creates a complex array of data across vehicles.
Collecting, transforming, and analyzing this data requires
automotive companies to build custom data-collection systems, which
is difficult and time-consuming. As a result, automotive companies
are unable to use the data to help solve common problems like
spotting fleet-wide issues before they become a bigger problem,
tailoring infotainment content, and using data to improve vehicle
performance.
AWS IoT FleetWise provides automotive companies with a managed
service that makes it easier to collect, transform, and transfer
data from millions of vehicles to the cloud in near real time. With
AWS IoT FleetWise, automotive companies can access, structure, and
standardize proprietary vehicle data without needing to develop
custom data-collection systems. Customers can also integrate with
AWS IoT FleetWise to enhance their existing systems. Automotive
companies can get started in the AWS Management Console by defining
and modeling vehicle attributes (e.g., a two-door coupe) and the
sensors associated with the car’s make, model, and trims (e.g.,
engine temperature, front-impact warning, parking assist system)
for individual vehicle types or multiple vehicle types across their
entire fleet. After vehicle modeling, automotive companies can
connect the AWS IoT FleetWise application via the vehicle gateway
(i.e., in-vehicle communications hub that monitors and collects
data) or other data collection hubs in the vehicle, so it can read,
decode, and transmit information to and from AWS. With AWS IoT
FleetWise’s intelligent data-collection controls, automotive
companies can select the exact data they need for their use cases
and limit the amount of data transferred to the cloud by creating
conditional rules (e.g., sensor data from hard-braking events
associated with a vehicle make and model). Once data is transferred
to the cloud with AWS IoT FleetWise, automotive companies can use
AWS’s breadth and depth of analytics and machine learning services
to extract value from vehicle data. For example, automotive
companies can collect data from electric-vehicle batteries when the
temperature drops below freezing and then analyze it and run
simulations in the cloud to improve battery performance in cold
weather.
The new AWS IoT FleetWise service is part of AWS for Automotive,
a comprehensive offering of AWS services and AWS Partner Network
