What is the 'Open Vehicles' project, which enables the introduction of open-source telemetry functions into electric vehicles to monitor and control vehicle status, such as charging sessions?



The Open Vehicles project was founded in September 2011 by three Tesla Roadster owners and develops and releases the OVMS (Open Vehicle Monitoring System) , a completely open-source vehicle telemetry monitoring, diagnostic, and control system.

Since the developers of OVMS are themselves a group of avid electric vehicle users, they are very enthusiastic about providing detailed telemetry data about the vehicle's interior.

Live monitoring function : Real-time monitoring of various vehicle information such as charging status, temperature, tire pressure, and diagnostic error status.
Alert function : Warns you if a serious situation or event occurs, such as charging interruption, battery cell failure, or potential theft.
Vehicle control : Depending on the vehicle's connectivity, it may also be possible to control the charging process, air conditioning, engine tuning parameters, etc.
Remote control : Remote control via web app and smartphone app

Looking at the hardware of the basic components, it is a small, inexpensive module that connects to the vehicle's

On-Board Diagnostics II (OBD2) port or a similar diagnostic port, and it features a 4G modem that provides GSM connectivity and GPS.



Systems running on OVMS modules provide a web application user interface and remote control capabilities via smartphone apps. Furthermore, they support integration into home automation and process automation systems via Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) and offer data logging capabilities to SD cards and servers.

For developers and engineers, OVMS provides a variety of CAN tools, including multiple log formats, a configurable OBD2 translator, a DBC decoder, a reverse engineering toolkit, and a CANopen client. These tools enable the reading and writing of CAN frames via TCP using SSH or WebSocket.
