IoT , A boon for the Automotive Industry
The Internet of Things is ruling the present generation making lives easier with on-board sensors that provide real-time data . In fact IoT has now become an inseparable part of our daily life starting from smart watch , smart home , smart vehicles that can be controlled by one tap . Yes that’s IoT and the magic is quite in our fingers . The Internet of Things is going to be a real gamechanger . Its precise prediction and interaction over the internet , especially in the automotive industry is a boon in this era .
It is just a matter of sensors , cameras and GPS trackers that provides enhanced in-vehicle experience and optimizes vehicle performance . IoT aims on futuristic vehicle with which they can connect and interact . Some of the applications of IoT in automotive industries includes :
- Connected car solutions
- Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS)
- In-vehicle infotainment systems
- Navigation & telematics solutions
- Predictive maintenance solutions
- Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) applications, Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) applications, and Vehicle to Everything (V2X) communication applications
Connected car solutions
Cars that are connected over the internet provide better performance by analyzing the speed and weather conditions that can predict and prevent accidents and alerts drivers about the route in prior . Modern Wi-Fi capabilities, engine performance metrics and precise location detection provides the safest ride in this era of traffic bottleneck .
In-vehicle infotainment systems
Google maps for navigation, Google Assistant for hands-free help while driving, and Apple Carplay for high-end car infotainment has made driving even more easier . Apps are being developed everyday that can close or open doors , start or stop the engine with just a single touch in our smartphones .
Predictive maintenance solutions
Any malfunction of the parts can be found by combining big data, cloud computing, edge computing with sensors . This predictive maintenance provides
- Identifies the failure parts
- Measures performance variables
- Provide lower costs of operations
Navigation & telematics solutions
Telematics systems are transforming fleet management and vehicle transportation industry by enabling more accurate and in-depth tracking of vehicles with the help of IoT . It tracks a vehicle’s location, movements and other vehicular details . IoT empower telematics systems to easily customize its services as per industry requirement .
Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS)
Last but not the least the ADAS use multiple vision-based algorithms to provide a human-machine interface through wireless network connectivity to ensure higher road security for drivers . ADAS system in your car will help you see better on the road while simultaneously alerting you of any nearby dangers .
“If you think that the internet has changed your life, think again. The Internet of Things is about to change it all over again!” — Brendan O’Brien
As rightly said IoT provides exciting possibilities of unlocking various features like car-to-car interaction, AI-powered driving assistance, and other advanced features in the automotive industry that drives the industry forward .
