Abstract
Telematics units are widely spreading in the automotive industry. Getting realtime
data from the systems is essential for creating services in the back office which
builds value for both companies and end customers. The services created greatly
impact maintenance strategies, future developments, and keeping the vehicle more
sustainable and secure for both end users and customers. However, adding new
hardware for this purpose is not always an easy option for companies that collaborate
with different corporations and do not build the final product. To solve
this issue a software model can be generated that will perform the features of a
telematic unit which will help to reduce unnecessary hardware in the system and

Telematics units are widely spreading in the automotive industry. Getting realtime
data from the systems is essential for creating services in the back office which
builds value for both companies and end customers. The services created greatly

sustainable and secure for both end users and customers. However, adding new
hardware for this purpose is not always an easy option for companies that collaborate
with different corporations and do not build the final product. To solve
this issue a software model can be generated that will perform the features of a
telematic unit which will help to reduce unnecessary hardware in the system and
improve the installation process of products.
This master’s thesis report presents an investigation into developing a softwarebased
telematic unit called Software Agent. This investigation splits mainly 3 areas
which are deciding the necessary features to be performed, deciding the host hardware
for the software component, and ensuring the data security according to the
decided design. The features that were implemented were decided based on the
responsibilities of a standard telematics unit like data storing, filtering, and providing
secure storage for the keys also decided according to the potential services
for the company like data buffer and diagnostic trigger. For deciding the host
of the Software Agent 4 different solutions have been created. A comparison has
been made on these 4 different solutions and host hardware decided according to
the assignments. These assignments are created based on companies needs and
feasibility of the system. The last part of the investigation is data security which
is established by an encryption method. Three different encryption methods have
been compared based on performance and memory usage and the most advantageous
one is integrated into the Software Agent for fulfilling the data security.
After these investigations, a test system was created using suitable hardware like
Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and MCP2515 module. Using this test system data have
been collected and sent to the database for visualization. At the end of the testing
phase results show that with the solution that has been decided necessary features
can be performed in the system by using fewer hardware resources and ensuring
data security. (Less)
