HOW IOT IS APPLICABLE IN AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY?

IOT technologies are used in the automotive sectors to create innovative and advanced solutions, including connected car solutions, Advanced Driver-Assistance System (ADAS), in-vehicle infotainment systems, navigation and telematics solutions, predictive maintenance solutions, Vehicle-to-Vehicle(V2V).

APPLICATIONS OF IOT

APPLICATIONS OF IOT IN AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY:

1. CONNECTED CARS:

Vehicles that are connected to the internet and can exchange data with other devices and systems. This can include navigation and infotainment systems, as well as safety and maintenance features.

CONNECTED CAR

2. TELEMATICS:

The use of GPS and other communication technologies to track the location and status of vehicles, as well as to provide services such as real-time traffic updates and vehicle diagnostics.

3. PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE:

The use of sensors and data analytics to predict when a vehicle is likely to need maintenance, allowing for proactive repairs and reducing the likelihood of breakdowns.

4. VEHICLE-TO-EVERYTHING(V2X) COMMUNICATION:

IOT technologies can be used to enable communication between vehicles and other objects, such as traffic lights, pedestrians, and infrastructure. This can improve safety and efficiency on the road.

V2X COMMUNICATION

ROLE OF IOT IN AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY:

IOT solutions constantly monitor vehicle condition to predict potential issues. IOT sensors gather real-time data on fuel consumption, engine temperature, fluid levels, run time, etc. This data is then analyzed to detect pre-failure conditions and alert the driver in advance.

BENEFITS OF IOT IN AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY:

1. IMPROVED SAFETY:

IOT enabled vehicles can be equipped with sensors and cameras that can monitor the environment around the vehicle and alert the driver to potential hazards.

2. ENHANCED MAINTENANCE:

IOT enabled vehicles can be equipped sensors that monitor the performance of various systems and components, allowing for predictive maintenance and reducing the risk of breakdowns.

3. INCREASED EFFICIENCY:

IOT enabled vehicles can communicate with traffic systems to optimize routes, reduce fuel consumption, and minimize emissions.

4. IMPROVED CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE:

IOT enabled vehicles can provide drivers with real-time traffic updates, personalized recommendations, and other features that enhance the driving experience.

5. NEW BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES:

The use of IOT in the automotive industry can create new business opportunities such as the development of new connected car services.

BENEFITS OF IOT IN AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

IOT INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY IN AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY:

The Internet of Things refers to a system of devices that exchange data through a connection to the internet. In the automotive industry, this allows complex devices like electronics, actuators and sensors to share information with each other and other cars connected to the internet. Thus the productivity increases.

CONCLUSION:

The use of IOT in the automotive industry is expected to continue to grow in the coming years, as more and more vehicles are equipped with connected and autonomous capabilities.
