BlackBerry IVY
In addition to being an Investor at COMPREDICT through its BlackBerry IVY Innovation Fund, BlackBerry is also a strategic partner. The connected vehicle data platform BlackBerry IVY™ , built in partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS), makes it much easier for COMPREDICT to access vehicle data in a normalized way. It simplifies our ability to manage large scale OEM deployments.
BlackBerry IVY™ enables us to work efficiently on solutions that can be deployed in many different vehicles without potentially touching any hardware or vehicle. This makes COMPREDICT hardware and OS platform agnostic while reducing connectivity costs for the automaker.
At the CES Show in January 2023 in Las Vegas, our Virtual Sensors for tire and brake wear were deployed directly in BlackBerry IVY™ , in a Jeep Grand Cherokee democar. The Virtual Sensors computed current wear and forecast of future wear. Together with BlackBerry and Bosch, we accomplished a full integration, including Alexa voice command. Check out the video “Alexa, what’s the status of my tires?”
BlackBerry QNX operating systems Partners can benefit from direct over-the-air deployments of BlackBerry IVY, including our Virtual Sensor.
UTAC
UTAC, a market leader in the field of development and validation testing and automotive homologation. This partnership aims to advance data-driven methodologies for sensor virtualization in automotive testing.
A Shared Vision for Innovation
The collaboration will leverage UTAC’s expertise in advanced vehicle testing, data acquisition, and regulatory compliance with COMPREDICT’s state-of-the-art Virtual Sensor technology. Together, the companies will work to transform how vehicle performance and durability are evaluated, focusing on software-based solutions that drive down costs and add new features.
A Collaborative Approach to Testing and Virtualization
UTAC will provide state-of-the-art infrastructure and expertise for data collection through open-road and controlled test environments. This data will serve as input for COMPREDICT’s Virtual Sensors.
Demo Car: Showcasing Real-World Impact
As part of this initiative, a demo car equipped with cutting-edge Virtual Sensors will be developed in collaboration with Dewesoft, a key project partner. This vehicle will serve as a proof of concept, demonstrating the power and potential of Virtual Sensors in real-world testing scenarios.
Palantir Foundry
Palantir Technologies is a strategic partner for cloud-based solutions for connected cars. Palantir Technologies builds enterprise data platforms for organizations with complex and sensitive data environments. We work together on Virtual Sensors for Palantir Foundry: COMPREDICT uses Palantir’s Foundry platform to provide its Virtual Sensors products and services to common and new customers in a cloud architecture.
Our Virtual Mass Sensor makes payload measurement affordable for passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, trucks and passenger counting in busses. The Virtual Mass Sensor determines vehicle mass after a couple of minutes of driving. It is a reliable, convenient, and cost-efficient solution to prevent vehicle overloading.
Automotive OEMs and telematics solution providers can choose between different methods of implementation:
- Embedded on existing electronics hardware – on the edge
- Through our partner’s BlackBerry IVY platform
- In a cloud-to-cloud architecture
Our Virtual Mass Sensor has already been applied to various vehicle platforms: passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, busses and trucks. COMPREDICT’s Virtual Mass Sensor plays for instance a key role in the electric fleet solution of WATÈA by Michelin.
