CloudBoxx Firmware 2.16.0

New features

Damage detection

This firmware introduces support for the optional Damage Detection service. Damage Detection provides detailed information on vehicle damage and enables comprehensive, automated damage management. The Damage Detection Module peripheral device captures various data from the vehicle in daily use. The solution’s algorithm filters and compresses a large part of this raw data. The filtered data points are then further analyzed in the cloud by an AI algorithm which identifies patterns and anomalies. The AI assigns them to specific events, such as a parking accident, in real-time that have actually led to damage to a particular component. At the same time, it recognizes if it was only a door being closed or a pothole being driven over, resulting in no damage and making a report unnecessary. This feature is available for the CloudBoxx 4G/1020.

New mileage source option combined

The new mileage_source option combined can be helpful to get a more accurate mileage value. This is typically the case if the vehicle provides the mileage on the CAN bus (with CDF4) but only with a resolution of one kilometer, i.e., without decimal places. With the mileage source option set to combined, the fractional part is captured using the speed information, and added to the basic mileage value read from the vehicle’s CAN bus.

Improvements

Faster initial cellular connection setup

The initial cellular connection setup after installation of the CloudBoxx in a new country has been sped up by two minutes. Country changes during operation were not affected by this delay. This improvement is available for the CloudBoxx 1020.
