K-DCP Connected Diagnostics Solution

KPIT’s remote diagnostics solution is a versatile platform for performing diagnostics and managing state of connected vehicles. Combined with vehicle event recording it enables many use-cases such as ahead-of-repair fault analysis and vehicle down-time reduction.

The key to a successful remote diagnostics solution is seamless connectivity. The K-DCP solution has all the features you would except to enable this, such as:

• Offline event queuing with QoS (to ensure no critical data loss)
• Resume-on-connection delivery
• Two-way communication
• Background updates [diagnostic data and sequence packages are downloaded in advance of function execution]

KPIT’s OTA solution is a fit-for-future, end-to-end system that enables a variety of use-cases for remote software update. It provides seamless vehicle pool identification, data transfer and robust software update functionality.

The key characteristics of the K-DCP OTA solution include:

• Seamless Implementation- KPIT believes strongly in re-use, and wherever possible encourages its customers to leverage existing diagnostics sequences in their OTA solution. However, where standards-based solutions are not feasible KPIT can directly leverage its D-PDU API layer to hugely simplify the implementation process
• Dynamic delivery- The system automatically maps the correct diagnostic data for the update, and optimizes for specific vehicles based on current software – smart delta algorithms ensure that over-the-air downloads are kept to a minimum
• Intelligent dashboarding- The K-DCP OTA solution provides intelligent dashboards that present an ever-present view on campaign effectiveness

KPIT’s In-vehicle diagnostics approach leverages ISO Standard specified Infrastructure components (i.e. ODX, OTX) as the foundation, thereby paving the way for a highly data driven architecture.

The diagnostic infrastructure components inside the vehicle allow seamless communication with the ECU network in a manner similar to how the Service tool functions, thereby enabling all the diagnostic use-cases to be executed from remote locations.

With changes in vehicle diagnostics-related standards (such as ISO 14229 and Adaptive AUTOSAR), the stage is set to implement on-board diagnostic testers using the standard ISO-architecture inside the vehicle.
