The first edition of Dubai World Congress for Self Driving Transportation brought together the main experts in mobility, transportation and telematics for 2 days in Dubai. The vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to make 25% of all trips in Dubai smart and driverless by 2030 is a smart and challenging idea that will happen for sure. CANGO had a seminar and developed the idea of the importance of telematics for self driving transportation.
The estimations, studies or reports are showing a growing trend and numbers seems to get higher from year to year. Car market for partially autonomous driving will be around $36 billion by 2025.
But when it comes to automation there are 6 levels already defined and already known in the industry. Level 0 is considered a car, which requires the full attention and action of the driver, and level 5 is allocated for the fully automated vehicles. As vehicles move towards level 3, where a driver can take his hand off the steering wheel, the dependency on telematics will increase. Vehicle speed, health, weather and road conditions, location etc will need to be constantly monitored to ensure safety and efficiency. Finally, for fleets to move synchronously autonomous vehicles will have to transmit their whereabouts and sync with the leading vehicle, which will happen through telematics.
Safety and efficiency are 2 points which can be solved for sure with telematics. Telematics is not only about trace and tracking. It is about diagnose the vehicle, the engine, correlate the data with what comes from the sensors, see in real time what is happening with the engine and verify is the safety features are on or used by the passengers. Telematics gets back to CANbus which is for the vehicle like the blood system for the humans. Through CANbus all the information, data and details circulates and give command to the vehicle to behave in a certain way on the road.

About Dubai World Congress for Self Driving Transportation
The Congress brings together experts in the field of Self-driving technology to enhance and accelerate the adoption of Self-Driving Technology globally and contribute to the realization of the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to make 25% of all trips in Dubai smart and driverless by 2030.
The 9th edition of the Telematics Conference for Central and Eastern Europe took place in the beautiful city of Prague, on the 26th of September.
The general topic of the conference was related to the next generation of Telematics Technology and CANGO took this opportunity to present the latest concept called “telematics as a service”.
Technology advances, demographic needs are changing, mobility industry is pushing telematics to come up with new solutions, and the providers are trying to keep up the step with the innovation trends. Soon we will talk about vehicle as a service, car as a service, or vehicle as a marketplace.
Changing the focus from TCO to value growth enables in the same time many other adjacent or complementary opportunities like smart mobility projects, smart cities solutions based on car sharing and ride sharing vehicles, smart public transportation. In a world full of sensors and connectivity, being open and prepared for the new challenges is the key to success in telematics business.
During the Conference Event Bianca Barbu, CMO of CANGO, moderated one of the panel discussion, the main topic discussed was “telematics as a service”, and how the applications will change the perspective of the future telematics technologies.
In the panel discussion were involved representatives of different areas of the Telematics world with different focuses related to the future of Telematics Industry. As a conclusion of the panel, the main idea remained the one that without telematics there is no solid based for future development. The trend is to move to open hardware platform so no matter what the industry or the profile of the user is to be able to benefit of the latest developments in the near future and combine them with other complementary features.
CANGO is moving forward with the concept and soon will present the role of Telematics in Self Driving Transportation.
Everyone talks about “Internet of Things”, “big data”, and “cloud” services. But nobody wants to buy additional hardware to get access to the CAN-based in-vehicle networks.
Vision of fleet telematics in 2025 (Source: Frost & Sullivan)
The last two years were intense and in the same time brought an air of change in telematics industry. According to the studies and reports that are available, at this point many acquisitions and optic changes took place in the market. In addition, the requirements in the market are different and the regulations are new. The trend is moving to “smart” cities approach, “smart” mobility and self-driving transportation.
What about the other industries? What are their requirements and what are the trends? How wide is the offer? Can the hardware offered still fulfill all demands? Sure is that technology advances and demographic needs are changing, mobility industry is pushing telematics to come up with new solutions, and the providers are trying to keep up the step with the innovation trends. Everything will go electric or autonomous, everything should be in one place but shared and opened to the others, the data are still the gold but how they are shapes is the real treasure.
In the automotive industry, if we talk about small passenger cars or big fleet of trucks, the main aspect in the discussion is the value gained by using each type of vehicle. Mirroring this into services area the focus is similar and it is moving from TCO (total cost of ownership) to value created. The users are looking for solutions that are more reliable with the possibility of updating them in time without adding any new hardware. Soon we will talk about vehicle as a service, car as a service, or vehicle as a marketplace. The value will consist in the number and quality of the application accessed in each vehicle or telematics devices.
We understood this opportunity and in 2019 we decided to go outside the box in the real way. Even, if we will still maintain the hardware as part of their business, we have decided to open our solutions and license our knowledge to third-party telematics devices that are open platform based. As the recipient of the 2018 for Customer Value Leadership Award for CAN-based solution named by Frost and Sullivan, this move looks like offering to all telematics players the same value for their solutions and products.
Changing the focus from TCO to value growth enables in the same time many other adjacent or complementary opportunities like smart mobility projects, smart cities solutions based on car sharing and ride sharing vehicles, smart public transportation. In a world full of sensors and connectivity, being open and prepared for the new challenges is the key to success in telematics business.
The CAN Library supports a broad range of use cases
Our CAN-related services empower any telematics supplier provider to read any vehicle data in any industry. The approach is quite simple and it is based on an operating system that is free and easy to access: Android. The CAN-related services for Android run in the background of any 3rd party telematics device without any user interaction or interface, except the one for configuring it. The service runs with a higher priority than inactive or invisible activities and therefore it is less likely that the Android system terminates them for resource management.
From now on using our CAN-related service, any 3rd party device will act like a firewall necessary to safeguard against hazards caused by interference with vehicle computer systems.
Bianca Barbu (Chief Marketing Officer, Cango) at the 5th Telematics Confernce in Dubai, March 2019: “All the functionalities that we offered until now inside our hardware are ready to be offered as applications on third party open platform telematics units. In this way we want and we are able to license our knowledge in any telematics devices and it is not only CAN libraries but also we build applications like Driver Performance Assistance, MIL&DTC codes, Tachograph, FMS2IP, car sharing, or any other application that a partner can imagine.”
The main advantage of this type of service is, that based on it, an unlimited type of application can be built. In this way, the final user, instead of paying for a new additional hardware if they need a new functionality or feature for their fleet, will only add the application. Getting this type of solution the final client will gain the most advantages in the first place because there will be no time and costs spent with the installation and integration of a new hardware. Also, there are many advantages for the telematics solution providers because they will always be ready for the new challenges of the market and requirements of the clients.
The main advantages and benefits that the CANrelated service are the flexibility and control. Moreover, in this situation we are talking about real-time remote control with everything settable and a zero rate of failure and 100-percent data accuracy.
The CAN library is the base for any telematics application that can be developed. As mentioned, there is no need to add any new hardware to get the TPMS because there will be an application for it. Also applications for trailer data without any external device or an application for the DTC codes and MIL. One of the most important applications is the Lucas driver performance assistant, which coaches the vehicle conductor in real-time by calculating more than 49 parameters. All the application can be combined with artificial intelligence or machine learning to evolve to predictive traffic, usage-based insurance, avoiding collisions, or anomalies on the road.
The trend is to go to open platform telematics, which opens opportunities for other industries, and helps achieving the objectives related to the regulations around the world in increasing the quality of life by decreasing the CO2 emission and saving more fuel. This business model proposed by us is the answer to the question: Is there an allin-one solution that can be updated anytime, over-the-air, with the latest developments on the market and with minimum costs?
The subject of the 5th edition of the Telematics Conference that took place in Dubai at the end of March 2019 referred to Advanced Telematics in Fleet Management.
CANGO had a presentation slot in which developed the idea related to advanced telematics solution. As an important player in the industry and the recipient of the Frost and Sullivan Award in CANbus solution, CANGO involved the participants at the conference in order to define together some characteristics of what an Advanced Telematics solution is or should be.
Collaboration, Innovation, capacity of adding new features and functionalities, openness level, easy to implement solution were just few of the main ideas developed during the conference.
“We took this opportunity and announced one of our new products, or better said, we announced the shift that our company is making in this moment. All the functionalities that we offered until now inside our hardware are ready to be offered as applications on third party open platform telematics units. In this way we want and we are able to license our knowledge in any telematics devices and it is not only CANbus libraries but also we build applications like Driver Performance Assistance, MIL&DTC codes, Tacho, FMS2IP, car sharing or any other application that a partner can imagine”. (Bianca Barbu, CMO)
Related to the idea presented and the shift of the company into applications area and CANbus services, CANGO announced also the partnership with one of the biggest players on the market, TomTom. The company choose to partnership with CANGO for the CAnbus services and application based on them for TomTom Bridge Hub.
CANbus Services for Android is a Cango component that runs in the background of a third party telematics device without any user interaction or interface, except the one for configuring it. Service runs with a higher priority than inactive or invisible activities and therefore it is less likely that the Android system terminates them for resource management.

On September 27, in Warsaw, Poland took place the eighth edition of the Telematics Conference for Central and Eastern Europe.
The main topic of the conference was “Telematics Industry Collaborations” and CANGO participated actively by being part of the panel in which were discussed the trends and ideas about leveraging the power of telematics.
One important stage in telematics industry is education. In most of the case, due to economic situation, people started looking for cheap solution losing their focus from quality. In most of the cases, the experience proves that a cheap solution will be in the end more expensive, even if we talk about telematics, electronic consumer goods or other products. That is why education is very important so companies will look for value added.
Telematics industry plays a crucial role when it comes to smart cities, for example. Without the information related to vehicles and drivers, the smart city strategy cannot be developed properly. If in the past years we were talking about connected vehicles and then IoT, nowadays the concepts are even more developed and it is very important how this information are correlated with the environment. In addition, AI is another aspect that should be taken into consideration so the whole ecosystem is part of this process that is continuously evolving.
CANGO also was present with a booth where the attendees had the chance to see the latest development of the company and discuss the future project opportunities and possible partnership. Two new products were presented including the future telematics platform as a service that the company will launch it soon.
“We know that the big data make the world go round and we want to value these information is algorithms which will bring value and results to any user in the market. Our goal is build a new platform and open it for our partners. In this way we will help the customers educate and choose exactly what they will need from the same place without switching from a platform to another and in the same time we will help the telematics supplier providers to increase their revenues.”

Monetizing Telematics Data became a subject with a lot of interest since the technology evolved and the internet, mobility, smart-devices and cloud-based data management expanded.
CANGO was proud to participate at the 7th edition of Telematics Conference because through its activity is part of this global trend. Before passing to monetizing data, one of the most important aspects is gathering the data and the way you do it. Accuracy is our main purpose and we always worked how the data are get and furthermore how they are used.
That is why CANGO has decided to move forward and is planning to launch a new product which will meet the industry challenges and for sure will help the users, fleet managers, TSPs and business owners to turn data into money.
