Efficient use of in-vehicle data allows cost savings, emission reductions and additional revenues for manufacturers and fleet operators, which in turn transforms into benefits like less consumption or less maintenance costs for the consumers.
This can be enabled through targeted component design, right-sized durability, predictive maintenance and optimized fleet management.”
Dr. Stéphane Foulard, CEO COMPREDICT
Our mission is to transform vehicle data into value-added insights, for efficient, safe, and sustainable mobility.
COMPREDICT’s Virtual Sensors extract the hidden value of vehicle data. They are purely software-based and can be deployed in the cloud or embedded, for any vehicle: passenger cars, trucks, busses, scooters and other heavy vehicles.
COMPREDICT’s typical customers are vehicle manufacturers, Tier 1 equipment suppliers and fleet solutions providers.
With COMPREDICT’s Virtual Sensors, our partners can:
- Replace hardware sensors with Virtual Sensors to reduce the bill of material (BOM) cost
- Add additional measurement capabilities to vehicles, without adding hardware sensors
- Monitor vehicle component health and usage in the field
- Forecast component wear, and ageing, and detect failures early
- Offer new data-driven services to their customers
How does a Virtual Sensor work?
We focus on time series signals. Our solution combines automotive engineering expertise and durability expertise with state-of-the-art data science. Through sensor fusion, signal processing and machine learning methods, COMPREDICT’s Virtual Sensors compute new insights from standardly available vehicle signals like vehicle speed, engine torque, wheel speeds or battery voltage.
Our contribution to sustainable mobility
We contribute to reducing the amount of electronics in vehicles and consider vehicle health & usage monitoring as an essential part of a sustainable vehicle lifecycle.
Our Virtual Sensors close the loop between the development, usage & service of vehicles, enable component right sizing and weight reduction, efficient predictive maintenance, and help manufacturers reduce their environmental footprint.
