Telemetry Definition and Action Management

Use telemetry definitions to manage the data from connected vehicles. These definitions, based on the Vehicle Signal Specification (VSS) standard, create a logical structure for a vehicle’s sensors and actuators. Enable seamless communication for a connected vehicle to send data from its sensors and receive commands for its actuators. Configure telemetry action definitions to perform remote operations. Automate service process generation for an efficient customer experience.

  • Permissions and Features for Telemetry Definition and Action Management
    Review the features that you must enable and the permissions you must assign to use Telemetry Definition and Action Management.
  • Manage Telemetry Definitions
    Admins can use telemetry definitions to create a logical structure of a vehicle model's sensors and actuators. Create and activate telemetry definition records to define telemetry action definitions for executing remote commands.
  • Manage Telemetry Action Definitions
    Telemetry action definitions help admins to configure actions based on a specific telemetry definition version. These records capture actions taken on a telemetry signal from a connected vehicle. These definitions use a Target Component Path to specify which part of the vehicle to act on, such as unlocking a door. Actions are carried out through a series of defined steps, each with specific attributes that determine whether the step retrieves information or executes a remote command.
  • Service Process Generation for Telemetry Action Definitions
    Generate a service process from a telemetry action definition record. Review the changes to be made for the Omniscript-based intake form, update the predefined integration definition and activate the generated service process. Create a catalog and category on Unified Catalog for the service process to launch it from the Action Launcher.
