ACCM / ACCM +

Description

There are two HW variants in this portfolio – the ACCM and ACCM+ which both use the same sets of APIs for the backend (Continental Keycore) and SDKs for the mobile app integration.

The HW portfolio utilizes either a proprietary universal key technology (ACCM+) or a vehicle’s native key fob technology (ACCM) to lock, unlock and start a vehicle.

Additionally, the device provides accurate vehicle data including Level1, Level2 and CAN that may be available through the OBD port of the vehicle. The device is also equipped with a GPS chip that accurately monitors the location of the vehicle.

Advantages

• Short Loop Communication: Ensures that communication between the app and the HW device in the car is available offline (even without cellular connection)

• Easy, Non-intrusive Installation: Does not involve tampering with OEM wiring or connections

• Ease Of Onboarding A Vehicle: Simple 3 step process to get a vehicle added, key provisioned and HW installed (~15 min)

• Vehicle Agnostic Solution: The ACCM and ACCM+ together provide Access coverage for almost 95% of the OEMs, models and years

• Vehicle Location: Monitoring vehicle location and setting up geofences for automatic alerts when the vehicle violates the fencing rules can be easily accomplished.

• Vehicle Data: Extensive and accurate vehicle data including Ignition status, Transmission status, Odometer, Fuel Level, State of charge (in case of EVs), Oil life, Tire Pressure (TPMS) and many more.

• Use With Any Access System: Can be used with both push-to-start and bladed key access systems

ACCM advantages

Use Case: Serviceprovider & Fleet Management passenger vehicles

Serviceprovider & Fleet Management passenger vehicles

• Rental fleet operators can improve brand loyalty and simplify their customer journey by reducing wait times at kiosks using Key as a Service. Additionally, overhead costs associated with personnel are minimized and vehicle maintenance can be automatically scheduled based on the vehicle data available through Key as a Service.
• Peer-to-Peer, Station Based and Free float carsharing models can be easily enabled using Key as a Service – Operators, Hosts and Customers all benefit from a frictionless, secure virtual key transfer thereby increasing vehicle utilization, translating to more profits.

OEM & OEM Aftermarket

• OEMs can enhance their customers’ experience with options for sharing the vehicle key through an App between family members. The OEM App can also make recommendations and schedule vehicle servicing options for the customer at conveniently dealership service centers.
• OEMs looking to participate in the new mobility space by operating carsharing fleets or corporate leases can easily do so with the Key as a Service platform.

Use Case: OEM & OEM Aftermarket

Use Case: Serviceprovider & Fleet Management commercial vehicles

• Commercial Operators with multiple categories of vehicles, from Light Commercial vehicles to Class 8 Trucks can use Key as a Service to improve the efficiency of logistics providers by managing the key assignment on a single vehicle for drivers on different shifts and increase fleet utilization, while reducing cost overheads associated with key management and maintenance scheduling.

Workshop & Road assistance

• Agencies providing roadside assistance can help stranded or locked out customers by remotely unlocking and allowing them to start their vehicles.
• Mechanics and Fuel delivery services can determine when the next service or refueling needs to happen and can be allowed access to vehicle for the duration of the service.

Technology ACCM

The ACCM device will act like the traditional Key FOB  to mimic up to four functions (Lock, Unlock, Panic, Trunk). The ACCM kit will easily be plugged to the car without modifications, hacks and changes to the car’s existing circuitry. The SIM card pulls relevant vehicle data from the vehicle and transmits it to the Continental Keycore backend and the phone Application.

Download the virtual key from the Continental Cloud backend onto the Key as a Service SDK embedded on your mobile app and communicate exclusively with the vehicle using Bluetooth connectivity to lock, unlock and start the vehicle. The KaaS solution provides APIs, an admin interface to the Continental Cloud backend and SDKs for integration with the user’s application.

Technology ACCM+

The ACCM+ uses Continental’s proprietary universal Remote Cloud Key device to accomplish Access and Start authorization. The ACCM+ works with several OEM models and is the most secure solution available on the market today to provide lock, unlock and start authorization. The ACCM kit will easily be plugged to the car without modifications, hacks and changes to the car’s existing circuitry.

The ACCM+ includes besides the above-mentioned features of the ACCM a GPS chip, which provides the vehicle location accurately. Download the virtual key from the Continental Cloud backend onto the Key as a Service SDK embedded on your mobile app and communicate exclusively with the vehicle using Bluetooth connectivity to lock, unlock and start the vehicle. The KaaS solution provides APIs, an admin interface to the Continental Cloud.

Security

Incredibly secure communication channels between the Continental Cloud, the Remote Cloud Key Hardware, the Mobile SDK and the Customer Backend guaranteed by mutual authentication and data encryption.
