What is AWS IoT FleetWise?
AWS IoT FleetWise solves a central problem in vehicle telematics: modern vehicles generate up to 2 TB of data per day, but only a fraction is relevant for analysis. FleetWise selectively collects the needed data directly in the vehicle and transfers only that to the cloud.
The service understands vehicle protocols like CAN bus and OBD-II through a standardized signal model. You define vehicle signals once and can then create campaigns that capture specific data under specific conditions: engine data under high load, battery data at low charge, or navigation data on certain routes.
The edge software runs on the vehicle gateway and performs filtering locally. This minimizes cellular costs and enables analysis even with intermittent connectivity.
Core Features
- Vehicle Signal Specification: Standardized model for vehicle signals
- Campaign Management: Conditional data collection with flexible triggers
- Edge Filtering: Local data reduction directly in the vehicle
- CAN Bus Support: Native processing of vehicle bus protocols
- S3/Timestream Integration: Automatic storage in S3 or Timestream
Common Use Cases
Fleet Optimization: Driving behavior data is analyzed to optimize fuel consumption, predict wear, and improve route planning. Only relevant data points are transferred.
Electric Vehicle Analysis: Battery health and charging behavior are monitored across the entire fleet. Degradation patterns are detected early to reduce warranty claims.
Autonomous Vehicle Development: Sensor data is recorded during specific scenarios: intersections, poor visibility, or near-collisions. These targeted recordings accelerate ML model training.
Benefits
- Drastic reduction of transfer costs through edge filtering
- Standardized signal model for different vehicle types
- Scaling to millions of vehicles
- Native integration with AWS analytics services

Typical Use Cases
Frequently Asked Questions
What is AWS IoT FleetWise?
AWS IoT FleetWise is a service for efficiently collecting and transferring vehicle data to the cloud. The service understands vehicle signals (CAN bus, OBD-II) and collects only relevant data based on defined campaigns. This significantly reduces transfer costs and bandwidth.
How does FleetWise reduce the amount of data transferred?
FleetWise collects data selectively on the vehicle. You define campaigns with conditions: e.g., engine data only at speeds above 100 km/h or battery data only at charge levels below 20%. The edge software filters directly in the vehicle, so only relevant data is transferred.
What does AWS IoT FleetWise cost?
Costs consist of: vehicle connectivity, collected messages, and stored data. Prices vary by region. Typical costs for a fleet of 1,000 vehicles are 500 to 2,000 USD/month, depending on campaign configuration.
