Challenge
So as to provide car-sharing services, it is important to be able to control locking and unlocking of a car remotely. There is a need for solution that includes hardware, firmware and software agreement. It has to operate precisely as safety of the car and client’s support depend on it. Besides, the management of each car requires a different code, so the database must be immense and constantly updated to include new popular car models.
Solution
Scanning of over hundred’s parameters and controlling car’s central lock, windows closure, switching on/off turn lights, and trunk release is allowed when the accessory is connected to the controller. Also, you will be able to check door, parking brake and light status. Data that can be received in real time include engine RPM, vehicle speed, information about the current fuel level status from dashboard, helping you to figure out the range that the car can still cover, and other important parameters.
Electrically powered cars are supported as well with some additional specification to monitor like battery level, charging status, charging cable status, and how much the car can travel with the current battery charge level. You can learn more about the technical features of this use case here.
Over hundreds of cars are currently supported by TrackingHAWK and the list is continuously upgraded to match new models of the most prominent cars. In car-sharing services, the immense part of the fleet consists of new cars not older than 3 years, which means that their engines support new technologies and produce less emissions to the atmosphere, thus, offering an eco-friendly solution.

Benefits
Extensive list of supported cars – From most popular models to electric cars, more than hundreds of vehicles supported.
CAN Data reading – access to the many specifications related to car status and usage analysis, i.e., the data that is critical for quality service delivery.
Easy to configure devices – Immediate configuration tool for an easy configuration and FOTA WEB solution for simple firmware updates over the air, meaning no need to get to the cars and connect to trackers via wires.
Why TrackingHAWK?
The solution for car-sharing services has been implemented by TrackingHAWK partners in a number of projects. by depending on their feedback, we continue to improve our devices further. Based on our perception ‘Easy key to IoT’, we offer inherent tools for an easy configuration of the needed functionality and FOTA WEB solution for updating the tools firmware remotely.
