K-DCP Connected Diagnostics Solution

Overview

The KPIT ‘Connected Diagnostics’ solution utilizes its proven diagnostics products and services to deliver a standards-based, scalable and an end-to-end solution.

The solution allows for the execution of some key use-cases which have the potential to accelerate vehicle issue resolution, improve vehicle uptime and enhance the overall customer experience.

A few of them are outlined below:

  • Over the air updates
  • Vehicle state monitoring
  • Vehicle state recovery
Overview

Salient Features

  • A fully featured standards-based diagnostic stack sits at the core of KPIT’s connected diagnostics solution. The stack is designed to operate seamlessly between resource constrained environments such as a telematics control unit (TCU) and offloading execution to the cloud
  • KPIT’s connected diagnostics solution is being readied for next generation service-oriented diagnostics for Adaptive Autosar/ high-performance controller (HPC) based connected vehicles

Key Benefits

  • The K-DCP Connected Diagnostics Solutions gives you the ability to set up a base for your future diagnostics
  • Enables implementation of use cases like OTA, remote diagnostics, service-oriented diagnostics and prepares you for the future in diagnostics with predictive maintenance
  • A highly extendible platform, it’s deployable on embedded, cloud, android, iOS and desktop environments
  • With proven scalability and performance on embedded devices and cloud, the OTA solution is already in productive use, and will be deployed in 100 Mn vehicles over the next 10 years

Overview

KPIT’s remote diagnostics solution is a versatile platform for performing diagnostics and managing state of connected vehicles. Combined with vehicle event recording it enables many use-cases such as ahead-of-repair fault analysis and vehicle down-time reduction.

The key to a successful remote diagnostics solution is seamless connectivity. The K-DCP solution has all the features you would except to enable this, such as:

  • Offline event queuing with QoS (to ensure no critical data loss)
  • Resume-on-connection delivery
  • Two-way communication
  • Background updates [diagnostic data and sequence packages are downloaded in advance of function execution]

Salient Features

  • Re-use of standards based diagnostic data
  • Leverages secure access channels to vehicle
  • Rules-based monitoring with configurable event actions for additional data capture
  • Versatile diagnostic stack caters for multiple hardware/software footprints
  • Resilient on-board data capture and queuing with in-built smart connection management
  • Operates on various platforms / [embedded] operating systems and scales to meet customer needs

Key Benefits

  • Provides visibility over entire vehicle fleets
  • Enables innovative use-cases, such as remote diagnostics, vehicle alerting, etc.
  • When combined with effective dealer systems, enables just-in-time maintenance
  • Reduces vehicle down-time and increases FFV rates

Overview

KPIT’s OTA solution is a fit-for-future, end-to-end system that enables a variety of use-cases for remote software update. It provides seamless vehicle pool identification, data transfer and robust software update functionality.

The key characteristics of the K-DCP OTA solution include:

  • Seamless Implementation- KPIT believes strongly in re-use, and wherever possible encourages its customers to leverage existing diagnostics sequences in their OTA solution. However, where standards-based solutions are not feasible KPIT can directly leverage its D-PDU API layer to hugely simplify the implementation process
  • Dynamic delivery- The system automatically maps the correct diagnostic data for the update, and optimizes for specific vehicles based on current software – smart delta algorithms ensure that over-the-air downloads are kept to a minimum
  • Intelligent dashboarding- The K-DCP OTA solution provides intelligent dashboards that present an ever-present view on campaign effectiveness
Overview

Salient Features

  • Data driven architecture (ODX/OTX) accelerates delivery (where available)
  • Existing solutions for multiple embedded platforms
  • Supports standard (UDS on CAN, UDS on IP [DoIP], J1939) and OEM proprietary protocols
  • Integration with flash file management systems for effortless data management
  • Fully integrated with market-leading OTA service provider for complete end-to-end delivery
  • CAN-based communication based on Socket CAN API and proprietary APIs where required

Key Benefits

  • Reduces vehicle down-time and improves brand loyalty through optimal user experience
  • Enables feature upgrade and up-sell opportunities with-in your value network
  • Provides a versatile low-cost, standards-based solution
  • Promotes re-use of existing diagnostic data and sequences

Overview

KPIT’s In-vehicle diagnostics approach leverages ISO Standard specified Infrastructure components (i.e. ODX, OTX) as the foundation, thereby paving the way for a highly data driven architecture.

The diagnostic infrastructure components inside the vehicle allow seamless communication with the ECU network in a manner similar to how the Service tool functions, thereby enabling all the diagnostic use-cases to be executed from remote locations.

With changes in vehicle diagnostics-related standards (such as ISO 14229 and Adaptive AUTOSAR), the stage is set to implement on-board diagnostic testers using the standard ISO-architecture inside the vehicle.

Overview

Salient Features

  • Complete solution for ECU function Engineering
  • Highly flexible, based on event
  • Data-Driven, also the Event Flow cascade can be configured using ECU-Editor
  • Complete end to end diagnostic approach for a vehicle
  • OTX can be used inside the vehicle with ARA:COM for additional advanced diagnostic and analysis
  • No principle needs of an Offboard tester for Diagnostic anymore, except for flashing
  • Future proofed solution as it is based on accepted standards in the automotive industry

Key Benefits

  • Reduces servicing/repair turn-around time, and enhances technician productivity
  • Enables remote access of vehicle status, faults, and repair requirements
  • Drives predictive maintenance rigor, resulting in improved vehicle up-time and customer convenience and comfort levels
