aicas & NXP: Intelligent VSS Data Management

At COVESA, we’re always thrilled to highlight member collaboration, especially when they come together to tackle some of the most pressing challenges in connected vehicles. COVESA’s latest case study, aicas & NXP: “Intelligent VSS Data Management,” is a perfect example of the power of collaboration, innovation, and shared purpose. 

aicas and NXP introduced a solution integrating COVESA’s Vehicle Signal Specification (VSS) that allows real-time vehicle data access and management. The solution combines aicas EdgeSuite, offering robust vehicle and fleet data management, with advanced computing capabilities powered by NXP’s automotive processors.

As demand for real-time vehicle data grows from OEMs to rental companies to insurers, so do the challenges. A major hurdle has been the lack of a universal standard for vehicle signals. This creates challenges in data quality, normalization, and access to proprietary standards. That’s where the aicas-NXP solution steps in.

The solution unlocks valuable data from edge devices, enabling precise access, collection, and selection of relevant signals. Data can be visualized and analyzed to generate actionable insights that support operational success.  Key benefits include:

• Selecting What Data Matters: Collect and transmit only the data you need, exactly when and where it’s needed.
• Driving Business Efficiency: Use precise edge data to optimize performance, reduce costs, and enable smarter decisions.
• Across the Ecosystem: Manage data seamlessly across vehicles and systems, simplifying integration and collaboration.

This means automakers can gain deeper insights into vehicle performance, marketers can better understand customer usage patterns, and businesses can drive efficiency at every level.

The value of this solution hasn’t gone unnoticed. In September 2024, the aicas-NXP collaboration earned the COVESA Showcase Award for their pioneering work.
