It is, with considerations to network latency, imperative to have the ability to gain real-time insights to make decisions that can save lives. By collating automotive data from the various sources, including from connected and autonomous vehicles, it becomes possible to understand traffic patterns, driver behavior, accident prevalence and other factors that are key to increasing road safety, while simultaneously reducing accidents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Delays in the relay of data can lead to inaccurate data, poor data analysis and poorer decision-making. However, a spokesperson from car data services platform Otonomo comments: \u201cIn the next few years, as communication networks become more efficient and ubiquitous, we will see an increased diversity of safety-focused mobility solutions being deployed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Traffic management and safety<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u201cVehicle to everything (V2X) technologies enable vehicles to communicate data directly with other vehicles (V2V), infrastructure (V2I), pedestrians (V2P), and networks (V2N). This data can quickly be processed to provide quicker response times for better traffic management and road safety. Automotive data can also be sent to the cloud and utilized by smart cities to power their intelligent transportation systems, or by countless use cases that improve the customer experience. V2X can increase traffic efficiency and road safety with real-time direct communications between vehicles and the world around them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Here are some of the use cases cited by the company:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">V2I \u2013 Traffic lights alerting vehicles to adjust their speed due to an impending light change;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">V2V \u2013 Warnings issued between vehicles to prevent collisions;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">V2V \u2013 Traffic or hazard alerts shared between vehicles;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">V2P \u2013 Safety warnings to pedestrians or cyclist;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">V2V- Alerts of Emergency vehicles approaching;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">V2I \u2013 Speed limit alerts;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">V2X \u2013 Enablement of autonomous vehicles through V2X feedback.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Rich data<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">As time advances, the company predicts that connected vehicles will increasingly become ubiquitous and it cites a recent report by EPM and SBD Automotive, which forecasts that 96% of new vehicles shipped globally in 2030 will have built-in connectivity. \u201cThis connectivity will permit connected vehicles to communicate several data attributes from multiple sensors, which provide rich data about vehicles and their surroundings,\u201d says its spokesperson.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">She adds: \u201cVehicle data powers the algorithms and infrastructure that enables the innovations in these trends. It makes us smarter about driver behavior, the realities of the road, and even the performance of vehicles.\u201d \u00a0Yet there is more work to be done. In her organization\u2019s view, the current communications infrastructure is insufficiently reliable for the core applications need to fully achieve V2X\u2019s potential. She explains why: \u201cThere needs to be a measurable increase in wireless capacity, bandwidth, speed and networks to manage the masses of data generated by vehicles, other transportation related devices and applications and to decrease latency thus ensuring quality and accurate delivery of services in real-time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Magnus Gunnarsson, head of product at Ericsson Connected Vehicles says his company is seeing the following major \u2018CV2X\u2019 trends too:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Interoperability<\/strong> \u2013 i.e. Technology and\/or service provider neutrality enabling C-V2X or C-ITS services to function across countries, regions, brands and networks.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Legal, Governmental and Regulations \u2013 <\/strong>After more than a decade of ongoing discussions in \u2013 for example \u2013 Europe and the US, it is now evident that there will be no technology preference in the anticipated regulatory framework. This means that the automakers, tech providers, Mobile Network Operators, and road transport authorities will need to accelerate their efforts in cross- industry standardization forums. Ericsson is acting within 5GAA for this purpose.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Future C-V2X use cases will require cellular technologies. <\/strong>Ericsson is convinced that the C-ITS and C-V2X use cases that are now in development will rely on a cellular network technologies, in a combination of direct vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-network-to-cloud.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Much of the question about how V2X can improve traffic efficiency and road safety is dependent, in his view, upon how V2X is defined. He argues that vehicle connectivity in combination with ITS services \u201chas the potential to increase traffic density and long term introduce things like automatic lane-merger, automated highway drive, platooning etc.\u201d. \u00a0However, most of the focus is on traffic safety, accident prevention and on fatality reduction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Shared mobility \u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Both companies think there is much opportunity to not only increase traffic efficiency and to improve road safety but to all use communications and data to drive \u201cshared mobility, connectivity services, and feature upgrades [that] will expand automotive revenue pools by 30%\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Otonomo\u2019s spokesperson explains: \u201cV2X isn\u2019t just about the immediate communication it provides for safety use cases. It is expected to open a treasure trove of opportunities available from the data that connected vehicles provide. By 2030, it is estimated that new services and applications driven by shared mobility, connectivity services, and feature upgrades will expand automotive revenue pools by 30%, creating up to $1.5Trn in additional revenue. Connected vehicle data derived from V2X will be relayed back to OEMs, and can be used to provide a wealth of insights to improve vehicle safety and customer experience. Additionally, this data can be licensed to third parties for further use cases.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Go-to-market models<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Magnusson adds that the connected vehicle is here to stay and, with it, comes the biggest challenge the automotive industry has faced since, perhaps, the Model T Ford. The future is about connected, autonomous vehicles, shared services and electrification (CASE). Data, data analysis and digital transformation play a role in this future, which many experts hope will be led by changing consumer behavior and new go-to-market models such as mobility-as-a-service and vehicle subscriptions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">He comments: \u201cIn order to stay on top a successful automaker will need to invest heavily in new vehicular architecture for electric vehicles, the software and service associated to the vehicles, and ensure that is can tap into a vibrant ecosystem of third-party service providers, either directly or through technology partners such as Google.\u201d V2X is part of this mix as it will accelerate road safety.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Safer intersections<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">On the question of whether V2X is really the key to increasing traffic efficiency and road safety, Otonomo\u2019s spokesperson stresses that V2X can drive them both \u2013 making, for example, intersections safer to navigate. The risk of entering and exiting them can be reduced by using V2X. She explains: \u201cStatistics have shown that, in the US, almost 40% of all collisions happen in intersections. Furthermore, a quarter of all traffic related deaths and half of all injuries occur in intersections. V2X technologies are being put to use on the local, state and federal level to tackle this top priority.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u201cVehicles leveraging V2X receive alerts about road hazards and dangers that are not in the line of sight thus reducing the chance for collisions, injuries and fatalities. Cities can target notoriously dangerous intersections, with relatively low investment, to increase their safety. Yet, as discussed earlier, V2X can only succeed when supported by a reliable and extensive communication infrastructure and application-ready data.\u201d It is, therefore, vital to permit the use of privacy-compliant data to empower smart cities, fleets and the transportation ecosystem as a whole \u2013 efficiently and safely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>by Graham Jarvis<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"posted-by\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tu-auto.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.tu-auto.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"g-cols wpb_row type_default valign_top vc_inner vc_custom_1585038969469\">\n<div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\">\n<div class=\"vc_column-inner\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"w-post-elm post_content\">\n<div class=\"g-cols wpb_row type_default valign_top vc_inner vc_custom_1585038969469\">\n<div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\">\n<div class=\"vc_column-inner\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"w-post-elm post_content\">\n<div class=\"g-cols wpb_row type_default valign_top vc_inner vc_custom_1585038969469\">\n<div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\">\n<div class=\"vc_column-inner\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"w-post-elm post_content\">\n<div class=\"g-cols wpb_row type_default valign_top vc_inner vc_custom_1585038969469\">\n<div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\">\n<div class=\"vc_column-inner\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"w-post-elm post_content\">\n<div class=\"g-cols wpb_row type_default valign_top vc_inner vc_custom_1585038969469\">\n<div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\">\n<div class=\"vc_column-inner\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"w-post-elm post_content\">\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/who-we-are\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>KNOW WHO WE ARE<\/strong><\/a><\/h1>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/who-we-are\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11695\" src=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/07\/AFMC4000-300x150.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/07\/AFMC4000-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/07\/AFMC4000-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/07\/AFMC4000-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/07\/AFMC4000-2048x1024.jpg 2048w\" alt=\"\" width=\"430\" height=\"215\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The mobility industry is transforming itself and, with it, comes the need to change and improve automotive connectivity.
