Purpose

This document covers the Amazon Fleet Edge compute Module as installed in a Rivian vehicle.

Fleet Edge Overview

Fleet Edge is an edge compute system for deployment on Amazon delivery vehicles. It provides an
in-vehicle platform for video and position data acquisition and onboard analysis. The system is
designed as a flexible edge-compute platform, and can run various programs. The system has LTE
and Wi-Fi connections for over the air updates and data offload, Bluetooth for connection to local
mobile devices, and GPS for location measurement. 5 cameras are connected to the compute system:
a Forward facing camera, a driver facing camera, a cargo facing camera, and two exterior side
cameras.
This system is made of multiple hardware modules which are installed during the production of
the vehicle. It is not directly accessible by the vehicle operator, and has no direct user interface.
The primary function is on vehicle data acquisition, data processing for privacy and bandwidth
reduction and automated uploading of this data to cloud storage.

Hardware Overview

The installation consists of a compute module, a camera processor module, a Wi-Fi/LTE antenna, a
GPS splitter to share GPS signals with the host vehicle antenna, and at five cameras.

Compute Module

The primary computer for the Fleet Edge system. Includes compute, disk storage, a GPS receiver,
LTE, WiFi, and Bluetooth modems, as well as Ethernet, CAN, USB and HDMI connections. Not all
interfaces are used in standard installations. In Rivian installations, data connection is made to the
vehicle via the dual wire automotive Ethernet connection.
Powered directly from the 12V vehicle system, this module is connected to both permanent power
and a switched ignition circuit. The device powers on with ignition, and remains on for some time
after ignition power is removed, in order to enable continuity between deliveries and for a
controlled shut down.
Includes a simple LED screen with two 7 segment displays to show high level status, which is used
for basic troubleshooting.
The system is mounted with the connectors down in order to limit liquids or other objects from
entering the enclosure. A plastic cap on the side opposite from connectors also limits intrusions
from above when installed.
This module is a component in the system, installed during the production of the vehicle. For
primary functionality, connections to other devices is required.
Approximate dimensions are 353mm x 273mm x 93mm and weight is 7kg.
