Internet of Things is rapidly developing the transportation industry. Businesses and governments are starting to apply Internet of things to transportation problems. The transportation industry is the second largest division who is investing in the Internet of Things.
The IoT in smart transportation has changed the trucking industry with the help of connectivity advancements. Smart gadgets are playing the most important role as they carry out the important operations and because of that work will be more efficient and safer to use. To make trucking a more effective system, internet of things has made everything possible from effective road safety issues to the monitoring of the systems.
Application of IoT in Transportation Industry :
Applications of the Internet of Things in the following key fields in the transportation industry are given below :
RAILWAY TRANSPORTATION :
Applications of IoT in the field of rail transportation will have many benefits such as Lesser maintenance breakdowns and Safety and Reliability and many more. By integrating sensors on railways the chances of sudden breakdown will get reduced and they will also be able to predict the possible failures of the machine parts. Uses of sensors will plays vital role to predict the possible failure. This will also ensure an effective and efficient communication between the back-end system and the railway operations.
INDUSTRIAL TRANSPORTATION VEHICLE :
Geo-fencing, preventing management, productivity, sustainability are the points in logistics.
Geo-fencing
In geo-fencing, it can track the industrial vehicles to an accurate location. This helps the transport companies to maintain the track of their vehicles and also helps the safety & security of the vehicle.
Preventing management
IoT sensors are well equipped to predict the possible mechanical failure of the vehicles and also help out the drives by suggesting the possible solutions.
Productivity
Optimizes the worker productivity by analyzing the routed and the driving down unnecessary costs with the help of the predictive learning.
Sustainability
Companies can apply with the respective environment norms and helps to achieve sustainability.
ROAD TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT :
The road transportation management for the public as well as the private sector can help the citizens of the country significantly. The applications can be as following:
Parking Management
Effective implementation of IoT will help the drivers to get alerts on the availability of parking spots and also inform them the fees required.
Traffic Management
IoT will help the drivers to reduce the congestion and alternative roads to minimize traffic congestion.
Pedestrian Safety
By using sensors and the other smart tools will help the pedestrians and bicycle riders; it will also improve road safety; potentially preventing road accidents and increasing road safety.
