Kaltreon vs. legacy fleet-maintenance software.

ICE/EV maintenance tools miss radar drift entirely; anomaly classifiers flag deviations but can't recalibrate or close the compliance loop. Kaltreon runs the missing middle — the four jobs AV test fleets actually need.

The wedge

Conventional fleet-maintenance platforms were built for vehicle upkeep — oil changes, brake pads, tire rotations, HVAC service. AV test fleets need continuous sensor health on top of that, with a regulator-ready paper trail on the way out.

Capability matrix

What changes when sensor drift is a first-class job.

01 · Pillar 01

/001
Continuous sensor-level drift monitoring

Kaltreon

Agents subscribe to the CAN, Ethernet, and phased-array buses your test fleet already produces — reading beam-pointing bias, range-bin migration, and thermal creep the shift the drift crosses threshold.

  • 24/7 watch on every node
  • <2 ms round-trip latency
  • 76–81 GHz + CAN-FD native

Legacy ICE/EV platforms

Quarterly or annual audits between formal calibrations; CMMS sees brake, HVAC, and tire wear — never the RF chain.

  • Calendar-driven checks
  • No RF / radar telemetry
  • Drift invisible between events

02 · Pillar 02

/002
Regulator-ready compliance reports on demand

Kaltreon

Every drift event, recalibration action, and post-event verification lands in a signed packet your certification team can hand to ECE R79, ISO 26262, or NHTSA reviewers without a quarterly audit scramble.

  • Signed PDF + JSON
  • ECE / ISO / NHTSA templates
  • Immutable audit trail

Legacy ICE/EV platforms

Manual evidence pulls before an audit — ad-hoc spreadsheets, screenshots from the work-order system, weeks to assemble a packet.

  • Spreadsheet hand-offs
  • No signed artifacts
  • Audit-prep scramble

03 · Pillar 03 / Capability "Act"

/003
Recalibration triggered by signal, not calendar

Kaltreon

The agent identifies the affected channel and dispatches a targeted rerun — cavity sweep, boresight, timing-skew fix — without taking the rest of the platform offline.

  • Boresight rerun
  • Cavity sweep
  • Timing-skew fix
  • Phantom-target recheck

Legacy ICE/EV platforms

Calendar-driven maintenance windows; blanket sweeps or wait for the next scheduled visit — drift goes unrecorded between events.

  • Scheduled sweeps only
  • Whole-sensor downtime
  • No inter-event record

04 · Capability "Ingest" + LIFECYCLE 01

/004
Integration with AV test pipelines

Kaltreon

Kaltreon agents subscribe to CAN, Ethernet, and phased-array feeds from each test platform. No rewiring of the perception stack — the agents slot alongside it.

  • CAN-FD
  • 1000BASE-T1
  • 4D radar 76–81 GHz
  • ROS2 bridge

Legacy ICE/EV platforms

Vehicle-side telemetry limited to OBD-II / CAN; no native bus for 76–81 GHz phased-array data, so the platform goes sensor-blind after install.

  • OBD-II only
  • No phased-array ingest
  • No ROS2 bridge
