Secure backend integrations for future vehicle architectures and regulatory infrastructures

Platform-independent cloud applications

2026-04-27

As one of the world’s leading automotive specialists in diagnostic software, telematics, and embedded systems, we are expanding our cloud portfolio.

“With new vehicle architectures, such as Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs), growing system complexity, and ongoing transformation processes, for example toward e-mobility, we are expanding our offerings of platform-independent products and engineering services,” explains RA Consulting Managing Director Stephan Meichle.

These include scalable backend and web developments for high-performance, secure, and easy-to-maintain IT systems that enable seamless integration into existing toolchains and processes. Like all RA products, these solutions are characterized by high performance, user-centered design, easy maintainability, and maximum security by design.

Example: Development of an IoT telematics platform

As a partner in the Real Drive Validation (RDV) project, RA Consulting co-developed middleware to connect various IoT data sources, ranging from OBDII-based telemetry data to camera data. The project’s goal was to build an IoT telematics platform for managing autonomous driving measurement data. Via a remote solution, real-world driving data can now be fed into validation pipelines, structured, analyzed, and used teleoperatively for safety assessments.

Example: Connection to official infrastructures

Additionally, our experts develop cloud applications that provide a secure connection to official government infrastructures. One example is the Silver Snap Tool Portal, where users and administrators can view all reports submitted to the California Air Resources Board (CARB) as part of the “California Clean Truck Check” (CTC) program. The Portal meets the highest compliance and IT security standards. The underlying Silver Snap-Tool was the first CARB-certified CTC solution in 2022 and remains the most widely used CTC software today.

“For standards-compliant development and testing processes in the automotive sector, it is crucial to consistently adhere to standards such as A2L, HEX, S19, DCM, ODX, MDF, J1979, and J1699. Thanks to RA Consulting’s more than 35 years of experience, we can implement these requirements quickly and at scale. Throughout project development, we rely on agile Scrum methods and continuously involve our customers to ensure transparent, iterative processes,” Meichle continued.

We aim to support OEMs, suppliers, and government agencies even more efficiently in their current and future transformation processes by strengthening platform-independent cloud development and engineering services.
