Improving road safety and efficiency

Rising adoption of internet of things or IoT technologies in the transportation sector can improve road safety and traffic efficiency. Connected vehicles can share real-time information about road conditions, weather updates, traffic incidents and hazards with each other that helps in preventing accidents. Drivers get early warnings about obstacles ahead like stopped traffic or vehicles changing lanes suddenly. The use of sensors, radar and cameras by connected cars also improves situation awareness for drivers. Transport authorities and traffic controllers can remotely monitor traffic flows and road conditions. These can timely detect emergencies or crashes and redirect traffic to alternative routes to prevent congestion. This leads to less time stuck in traffic and less fuel wasted. Authorities also get real-time information to handle evacuations better during emergencies like floods, earthquakes or other disasters.

Automakers are equipping cars with advanced driver assistance systems that use technologies like automatic braking, blind spot monitoring cameras to take autonomous corrective actions and prevent accidents. As more IoT sensors get integrated into critical transport infrastructure like roads, bridges and tunnels, structural problems can be identified early on. This improves maintenance efficiency. With real-time alerts about road works or lane closures, drivers can plan their journeys better to avoid delays. All these factors help in significantly lowering the number of road accidents every year globally. Thus, reduced traffic jams translate to huge savings of time and fuel for both individual commuters as well as transport and logistics companies. This makes transportation more efficient and sustainable.

New mobility and payment trends

Rapid adoption of IoT technologies in transport is driven by new mobility trends and demands from consumers for smarter, personalized mobility solutions. The preference for shared, on-demand and low-cost mobility has led to rise of shared mobility services like ride-hailing and car-sharing that are heavily dependent on IoT connectivity. Being connected allows such fleet vehicles to be seamlessly booked, tracked and paid for digitally using mobile apps. It has made mobility more affordable and flexible as compared to traditional public or private transport. IoT enabled shared electric scooters and bikes have gained popularity globally as people prefer short point-to-point trips within cities.
