Cloudmade :Achieving An Intelligent And Personalised Driving Experience

Imagine heading to work in the morning, unsure of the weather, road blockages, sudden traffic issues, and yet trying to reach on time. How great would it be if the car did all the smart work, adjusted the cabin temperature for users’ ultimate comfort, predicted the shortest, driving-friendly and safe route, or even indicated the empty parking space near the office building to help save time looking for it? While these might sound futuristic, a UK-based company, CloudMade, seems to be all set for delivering an enhanced connected automotive environment with its unique AI-enabled solutions for vehicles. The company offers their intelligent mobility solution that is leveraged by OEMs to transform cars to make these more attractive for digital-minded consumers and increase brand loyalty on the one hand while creating a safe, efficient, and cost-optimised user experience on the other. CloudMade’s software solutions enhance almost every aspect of the entire mobility journey, including destinations, routes, cabin, communications, drive modes, parking, entertainment and many more.

The CloudMade Frameworks and the CloudMade Products and Services form the pillars of the holistic solutions offered by the company. At the base of the solution is the CloudMade Framework, which is flexible, scalable and the best-validated ML solution for the automotive. This enables maximising the value of data using three learning approaches that include personalised learning for predicting an individual's intent or desire and behaviour in a specific context and fleet learning that facilitates combining sensor data across devices for detecting and sharing real-world features.

It also comprises cohort learning that assists to combine real world data with data from clustered groups of people. The CloudMade Framework architecture allows clients to deploy CloudMade components in their own solutions, utilise the vehicle or smartphone sensor network and then compute onboard and/ or in the cloud to render predictions back to the device.

CloudMade’s inference engines and the products and solutions are deployed on top of the Adaptive Framework that allows enhancing value-adding experiences. The inference engines work with specific ML algorithms that convert the data into predictions. It allows running individual use-cases or combining multiple inferences for complex and hard to copy features. With these sophisticated algorithms, inference engine assists in offering analyses, predictions and forecasts like Predictive DPF time, Predictive Parking, Gas Station Affinity, Predictive Climate, Charge Station Affinity, Predictive Fuel Consumption and many more. Over the layer of inference engine comes the personalised solutions for the end-users. This brings to the table some smart mobility features like personalised navigation, EV battery management, fuel-efficient routing, personalised preconditioning, pre-departure alerts, smart AC recirculation, driver behaviour analysis and many more.

Different combination of CloudMade products and their features bring about several interesting and unique sets of use cases. The Intelligent Vehicle is one of the best-in-class offerings that showcases futuristic connectivity and smart utilisation of driver data. It enables streamlined interfaces that predict the driver's upcoming destination, manoeuvre or route, and learn the driver's preferences and habits. What's more? Intelligent Vehicle offers personalised and contextually relevant search results and assists in safe driving practices with integration into ADAS. At the core of this solution lies the driver profile around which builds the associated features like predictive navigation, intelligent climate, smart onboarding, personalised parking options and so on that enhance the overall mobility experience.

The team at CloudMade is pivotal to their leading position in the space of automotive learning software. They are backed by industry veterans, automotive-dedicated designers, engineers, product and project managers and a top-notch sales and support team, enabling them to accomplish their projects.

CloudMade’s solutions are a result of years of expertise in the space of ML. The company is sincerely focused on constantly analysing and improving the quality of their algorithms and their performances. The collective efforts of CloudMade have steered ways towards recreating the comfort of human journeys on the road.
