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.
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
/001Kaltreon
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
/002Kaltreon
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"
/003Kaltreon
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
/004Kaltreon
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
