Enabling intelligent services and software-defined vehicles
To tackle the need for greater efficiency, the transport industry is rapidly becoming digitalized. With seamless connectivity functions and software-defined architectures, Continental enables the use of real-time data-driven services that increase process automation and efficiency, reduce costs and downtimes and comply with legal requirements.
At IAA Transportation 2024, Continental will present cutting-edge HPCs and software alongside a complete ecosystem spanning from the road to the cloud, enabling the software-defined vehicle (SDV) as well as autonomous driving functions. These include a high-performance computer for the commercial vehicle cockpit and a cross-domain zone control unit, which integrates the power supply for cockpit and ADAS components. In addition, the technology company will showcase its Automotive Edge framework CAEdge, a cloud-based development environment which facilitates efficient, safe, and rapid development and testing of vehicle software. CAEdge is the base for several pre-development projects the company is currently working on with various OEMs to design the commercial vehicle architecture of the future. Amongst the intelligent services presented in Hanover that use real-time data to increase process automation and efficiency will be two new iterations of Continental’s ContiConnect digital tire management solutions: ContiConnect Lite, a mobile only solution with which customers can benefit from many advantages of data-supported tire monitoring, quickly and cost-effectively. Data of tire sensors is transferred via Bluetooth. And ContiConnect Pro, the all-encompassing solution for digital tire management and prediction services, providing a comprehensive overview of the fleets’ tire health, including alerts and the display of data in a web portal and mobile app.
Improving road transport sustainability
The pressure on the road transport industry to become more sustainable has increased – new regulations, rising fuel prices and increasing social and environmental awareness all play a role here.
