A path to standardization for connected cars through a new data collection protocol

The stakes reside in: telematics data collection, data transfer from in-car sensors, analytics across all Java-based on-board units, auto innovation, openness, tailorization, scalability, cutting-edge connected and more.

Aware of these stakes, OctoTelematics and Oracle are developing a non-proprietary protocol for telematics data collection, within the in-vehicle Java Virtual Machine (JVM) environment. 

The resulting software layer will provide a path to standardization for connected cars. From zero standard way to extract telematics data from vehicles, the new data collection protocol also aims to provide car manufacturers with the fastest way to integrate insurance and fleet telematics services.

November 2016 OCTO will launch a pilot to build a proof of concept in collaboration with a car manufacturer. The final standard will be launched to the Java community in May 2017.
