In the used car industry, buying the right car with a good engine is of paramount importance. This article on Business Standard titled “How to physically inspect a used car before buying” gives a fair indication of the effort and methods used in evaluating a used car, especially the engine. Currently, the evaluation of a car engine is still very traditional and manual. How about challenging the status quo and bringing about a more scientific and technology-driven approach to bring consistency in evaluation? We are building an interesting way of evaluating a car engine based on the sound signature. The premise is "What noise should not be heard in a used car engine?" Basically have the ability to detect deviant frequencies in a car engine to gauge the health of a car. We believe “noise” is an important “big data stream” which can potentially give lots of insights & unlock massive value for the used car and used bike industry. What we are doing here is giving a faster, scientific, and data-driven approach to evaluating a given vehicle engine.
What is Novolytics Hark Score?
Novolytics Hark Score is a relative scoring for a given car engine on a scale of 0 to 100 which gives an indication of the health of an engine. The higher the score, the better the engine i.e lower the number of abnormal sounds.
How does Novolytics Hark score work?
With a 60 seconds sound clip recording of a running engine, our Hark Score algorithm will be able to give the engine a score out of 100 based on the number of abnormal sound frequencies that were detected in the sound clip. The higher the number of abnormal sounds, the lower the score.
Who benefits from Novolytics Hark Score?
The noise data from the vehicle can be leveraged in faster, scientific, and data-driven evaluation of used car engines before they are included in their inventory. This could help the used car industry leaders like Maruti True Value, Hyundai H-Promise, Mahindra First Choice, Cars24, CarDekho, CarTrade, CarWale, Droom amongst others in the evaluation of a car engine based on the sound signature. If this is of interest to you then we can help you give a "Hark engine score" for every vehicle before you buy. Let us schedule a quick demo followed by a pilot of our technology and showcase the value add.
