The automotive industry is going through inevitable changes. Cars have shifted from being seen as mechanical machines that travel from point A to B to becoming digitally integrated systems that function as a whole. Eplus4Car is leading the charge by creating a product that combines electric propulsion, intelligent connectivity, and diagnostic systems to achieve a more intelligent, safer, and sustainable way to drive.
The number of data-generating electronic control units in a modern automobile is in the hundreds. This builds both opportunity and complexity. Eplus4Car solves this problem by integrating predictive maintenance, real-time navigation and energy control, and other technologically advanced integrated measures designed to operate seamlessly through every layer of vehicle operation.
What Makes Eplus4Car Different
Unlike other automobile innovations, Eplus4Car combines its innovations into one system for a modular, complete approach. Most vehicles innovations isolate every feature as single, disparate components. Conversely, Eplus4Car designs systems to create a complete, interrelated ecosystem for every feature to function collaboratively to achieve synergistic effects.
In addition to the modular system design, the assists of electric propulsion and large renewable energy storage batteries with advanced power distribution control systems that enable optimal energy use for peak efficiency and reduced impact are part of the extensive powertrain technology.
Eplus4Car has built-in cellular services and Wi-Fi, which allow users to track weather, GPS Navigation, and real-time updates. The Mobile App feature allows the driver to control the vehicle remotely and check the charge level of the vehicle’s battery, and send diagnostics alerts. Users will also be able to precondition the vehicle’s cabin temperature before entry. The vehicle will develop and improve its functionality through OTA updates, eliminating the need for a service center visit.
AI-Driven Diagnostics: Preventing Problems Before They Start
Endless features can be added to the Eplus4Car, including the powerful AI built-in diagnostics to monitor problems. Vehicles require a service visit to identify the problem. Eplus4Car, however, utilizes AI and predictive analytics to identify future problems.
The Eplus4Car utilize telemetry and hundreds of sensors to monitor parts of the broken. The AI will learn and analyze the data captured to find any anomalies and predict future problems. The system will become aware of a problem, such as below average performance of the battery, a warning will be sent before the problem worsens, and maintenance will be scheduled before the issue progresses.
There are numerous advantages to this predictive maintenance method. According to studies, AI diagnostics improve vehicle breakdowns by about 15%, while also decreasing breakdown analytics by 40–60%. Performance logging allows the vehicle to optimize maintenance needs according to driven miles rather than preset miles. Live battery range analytics also ensure you are not left stranded.
Numerous diagnostics are E diagnostics, inclusive of the advanced fault isolation module. E diagnostics utilizes AI to establish timelines and causal relations regarding the fault across several electronic control units. This allows mechanics to locate the primary issues in remote diagnostics and therefore decreases the number of iterative repairs.
Increased Safety Via Real-Time Connectivity
Safety and connectivity are interlinked, and Eplus4Car has ensured that the greatest efforts have been made in this regard. The system has several disparate means of connection which Collins, in a collaboration with Eplus4Car, has configured into an integrated safety system.
Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) combine surround cameras and sensors. Lane centering, blind spot monitoring, and emergency braking are all ADAS which may avert an accident by compensating for human error and responding to perceived threats considerably faster than any driver.
Vehicles equipped with vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication can warn each other of dangers and share information about road traffic. For example, if a car in front of you suddenly hits the brakes, your vehicle will communicate that to you in order to warn you and prepare your vehicle. Meanwhile, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication connects to traffic management systems, smart traffic lights, and road side emergency services to improve the safety and effectiveness of your journey.
The safety architecture of the system is designed with cyber security in mind. Strong encryption and authentication that is reset and verified each time the vehicle is turned on, will protect the vehicle’s system from unauthorized use and control.
Safety, Navigation, and Convenience Features
Eplus4Car revolutionizes every day’s driving with smart navigation and convenience features that adapt to your driving needs, allowing the system to offer a level of personalization unlike any common GPS devices.
Real time traffic data provides the system with information on the best routes from thousands of other connected vehicles and sensors from the system. The information is updated based on current traffic as well as road configurations, vehicle charging stations, and personal vehicle limitation’s such as a dedication to scenic versus highway routes.
When you enter the vehicle, individualized user profiles optimize settings for things like seating position, climate, preferred driving modes, and entertainment options. If multiple people use the same car, profiles switch to the appropriate person using the authenticated key or smartphone.
Voice commands are designed to be as intuitive as interaction. Overall, the system tends to respond to context and conversational speech, unlike most car systems.
The system will even change the climate of the cabin before you get in, and will send you a warning if it thinks you might get stranded.
Sustainable Transportation for a Greener Future
Eplus4Car believes in sustainability as a big part of effective design. Electric propulsion reduces harmful emissions and eliminates the tailpipe, but sustainability does not limit itself to the propulsion system.
Intelligent energy management improves all forms of energy use. For example, some form of regenerative braking keeps the energy of the car when it slows down. Instead of heat, the energy is stored in the battery. Additionally, some smart climate control systems are powered by AI and use less energy in the driver’s cabin while the car is still plugged into a charging source and do not drain the battery.
The use of smart charging allows the system to coordinate with renewables. It decreases the use of energy from resources that are fossil fuel based by charging the energy storage system when it can capture energy from the sun or wind. Some configurations also allow for vehicle to grid (V2G) which means that when it is needed the car can provide energy back to the grid.
Analytics can help the driver to minimize the effect on the environment. For example, the system will monitor the use of energy in the car and provide suggestions that will decrease the use of energy to drive. Over time, the energy will be saved especially on the routes that are used often because of the prediction.
EPluS4Car: The Future of Smart Vehicle Innovation
EPluS4Car is looking to the future for innovative development in the automotive industry. 5G will allow real-time communication between vehicles and infrastructure. This will lead to a large increase in real-time collaborative safety systems and complex autonomous driving features.
Artificial intelligence will no longer just be a tool for navigation and diagnostics. Instead, future vehicles will integrate Artificial Intelligence driven virtual assistants that will be capable of learning and anticipating a driver’s preferences. Future vehicles will also have advanced driver monitoring systems, and automated emergency response systems which will contact first responders in the case of a serious crash.
The move to fully autonomous vehicles will happen slowly. There will be a phased increase in the number of semi-autonomous functionality in vehicles. EPluS4Car’s architecture is designed for flexibility with the addition of future autonomous functionality as regulations and technology allow.
A reduced role for the private vehicle will be a result of the development of smart cities and integrated transport systems. Future EPluS4Car vehicles will be able to connect with smart transport systems to reserve parking spaces, control and communicate with traffic to manage flow, and offer an integrated public transport system to assist with transport planning.
