This information is used to understand crash dynamics and improve vehicle safety features.

Automotive Data Logging & Analytics Hardware Market Trends

The transition to software-defined vehicles (SDVs) is revolutionizing the requirements for automotive data logging hardware. An SDV needs a stable system with the capability for over-the-air (OTA) updates, software update life cycle tracking, and real-time telemetry. It is also a requirement of UNECE Regulations R155 and R156 that manufacturing acquirers have a plan for each vehicle that adheres to global enforcement for safety and cybersecurity, leading manufacturers to implement advanced data recording platforms in order to meet this important regulation.

Vehicles is increasingly using edge computing and AI enabled hardware to support the massive data generated by various sensors process this data locally.  Data logging systems will need capture of terabytes of data daily, accommodate a network throughput of >1.2GB/s, and/or >30 channels with <1ms synchronisation. Denso's technical specifications identify architecture based on FPGA, and high-performance data storage, which will be required to efficiently process real-time data processing in autonomous driving.

Connected vehicles and Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication is driving the demand for telematics units, sensor interface, and network hardware. United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) National V2X Deployment Plan envisions the need for secure, interoperable data logging hardware to enable safety-related applications. Hardware for managing different data communications protocols (5G/LTE, Wifi, Bluetooth, DSRC) while enabling data logging for comprehensive and interconnected V2V, V2I, and V2P data collections is becoming a more pressing need in modern fleet and mobility.

Hardware design is heavily influenced by government regulations. NHTSA mandates crash reporting in ADS and Level 2 ADAS vehicles, necessitating standardized data recorders. IEEE Standard 1616-2021 mandates crash-survivable logging systems with tamper-evidence, precise timestamps, and defined sampling rates. Adoption is prompted by compliance to ruggedized hardware that stores critical safety and operational data in harsh environments.

Electric vehicle growth propels the requirement for specialized logging systems monitoring battery cells, thermal levels, and charging cycles. Logging equipment requires accurate analog-to-digital conversion, isolated sensing, and real-time processing. Cloud-based BMS applications, facilitated by predictive analytics and artificial intelligence algorithms, enhance remote monitoring and battery lifecycle optimization, research in the Journal of Power Sources and TI technical information concludes.
