Thesis worker 30 hp - Efficient Vehicle-to-Cloud Telemetry over MQTT

Technology, Data & Digital · Software & Web Development · Software Engineering · Embedded Systems

In short

This thesis position at TRATON GROUP focuses on designing and evaluating an efficient vehicle-to-cloud telemetry pipeline using MQTT for data transmission. The project involves investigating various encoding, batching, compression, and prediction strategies to minimize bandwidth and latency while maintaining data fidelity and computational efficiency.

Responsibilities

Design and evaluate an efficient vehicle-to-cloud telemetry pipeline.
Investigate different encoding, batching, compression, and prediction strategies.
Evaluate communication path efficiency, considering compression ratio, bandwidth usage, latency, computational cost, memory consumption, reliability, and data accuracy.
Integrate XCP-based measurement data into an MQTT-based communication model.
Explore signal-aware encoding, delta coding, or lightweight predictive models.
Analyze system trade-offs between bandwidth reduction, latency, CPU usage, memory consumption, implementation complexity, and reconstruction accuracy.
Potentially assess the impact of compression and reconstruction on downstream cloud analytics tasks like anomaly detection.

Requirements

Master's program in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent.
Understanding of MQTT and XCP protocols.
Familiarity with data representation, compression, and predictive models.
Ability to analyze trade-offs in system design.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

Desired Qualifications

Experience with heterogeneous embedded systems.
Knowledge of standardized onboard data representation.
Familiarity with onboard communication clients and over-the-air transmission.
Understanding of cloud-side receivers and data reconstruction.
Experience with generic compression methods.

Benefits

Opportunity to get closer to Scania and build relationships for the future.
Possibility to start a career at Scania, as many employees began with their degree project.
Exposure to TRATON GROUP's IoT platform and focus on communication, services, and smart transport solutions.
Work on developing and validating innovative solutions for sustainable and efficient transportation.
