Transportation
The IoT can assist in the integration of communications, control, and
information processing across various transportation systems.
Application of the IoT extends to all aspects of transportation systems
(i.e. the vehicle, the infrastructure, and the driver or user). Dynamic
interaction between these components of a transport system enables inter
and intra vehicular communication, smart traffic control, smart parking,
electronic toll collection systems, logistic and fleet management,
vehicle control, and safety and road assistance. In Logistics and Fleet
Management for example, The IoT platform can continuously monitor the
location and conditions of cargo and assets via wireless sensors and
send specific alerts when management exceptions occur (delays, damages,
thefts, etc.). If combined with Machine Learning then it also helps in
reducing traffic accidents by introducing drowsiness alerts to drivers
and providing self driven cars too.
