Today’s Times of India
carries an article , titled :
“ Telematics can detect even yawns and
trigger alert : Soon , all of us will be driving smart , safe cars “
Article goes on to list following features of such a SMART DRIVE :
GETTING
TELEMATICS-READY :
·
Any car can be made smart
using RFID stickers , mobile apps or retrofitted devices
·
Fast 4G cellular networks
will make services available across country
WHAT IT
CAN DO :
·
Alert police, hospitals and family after an accident
·
Give drivers real-time alerts
from social media data
·
Alert fleet-owners to bad weather and roadblocks on the way
·
Re-route past nearest fuel station if tyre pressure is low
·
Capture video/photo evidence of accident, dispute or crime
·
Detect driver fatigue and
send alerts
·
Continuously monitor truckers for distractions such as cell phones
and meals
So much for the “ SMART “ and the “ SAFE “
Can telematics make cars ( for that matter , ALL vehicles ) also “
SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE “ ?
Not only it can , it must !
If you do not have time to go through my following
blogs , reproduced below , is a partial list , from
“ Internet of Vehicles “ { 04 March
2017 }
=================================
Most vehicles will be electric ( essentially , “ computers on
wheels “ ), automatically determining the best / shortest, route / stops and
optimizing vehicle performance . Mobile Apps will be a governing device
· Vehicles will be internet connected with one another , exchanging data
· Vehicles will be internet connected with servers of Transport
Authorities / Traffic Police / Pollution Control Boards and a host of other
governmental / institutional organizations , and be relaying all sorts of data
24*7 . Vehicles will report accidents ( being hit ) and thefts (
being stolen ) , on their own !
· All vehicles will carry a whole lot of “ Sensors “ , which will
continuously “ monitor “ the conditions of the vehicles and relay the same to
all the authorities
· All vehicles will be equipped with RADAR – LIDAR –CAMERAS – GPS locators
– / Augmented Reality etc , to avoid collisions / accidents
· Prepaid RFID chips ( linked to Aadhar / Bank Accounts ? ) for Road
Taxes / Insurance Premiums / Toll charges / Fines / Carbon Credits ( through
DBT )
· In-Built Sensors will measure , ( and request maintenance on their own !
),
# Engine ( or Electric Motor ) temperature
#
Pressures / Displacements /
Compression Ratios in case of petrol / diesel
Vehicles / Battery Charge Levels / fuel consumption
#
Emission Levels ( PM2.5 / CO2 etc )
in petrol / diesel vehicles
#
Tyre pressures / wear and tear of
moving parts / RPM
#
Vehicle speed / acceleration /
braking distance
# Proximity to other moving /
stationary vehicles or objects
# Weather conditions / Visibility
levels / Traffic Density
# Condition of the road being traversed
( co-efficient of friction )
# Condition of the person driving (
sleepy / drunk etc )
# Whatever else you want “ measured / monitored /
relayed “
To know , how such an Internet of
Vehicles ( IoV ) can solve the various problems listed above , you may want to
