The connected vehicles

The vehicles today are no longer just about a moving compartment with the comfortable sitting arrangement. The vehicles are today equipped to handle digital data and exercise computing power for many actions. The vehicles today are also highly equipped with inbuilt entertainment systems to allow playing and sharing media and live streaming. But the connected cars equipped with tracking sensors is the biggest advancement. The modern fleet management systems operate by making vehicles with sensors that allows tracking them on the road. Thanks to fleet management solutions more and more vehicles will be connected in the near future.

AI managed automated vehicles

Automated vehicles are already a reality now and coupled up with AI-powered systems such vehicles can actually make fleet management systems of the future more powerful. For logistics and goods transport, we can expect enhanced uses of automated vehicles powered by artificial intelligence. Modern fleet management solutions actually can find such automated cars more befitting to fit into a highly streamlined service dependent on automation and machine intelligence. Thanks to automated vehicles fleet management will be more efficient and reliable than ever before.

Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) solution

In the last few years, the global transport industry has experienced a lot of new breakthroughs including the onset of app-based shared cab services like Uber, Lyft and many others. Well, such services also opened a new niche hi-tech service termed as Mobility-as-a-service or MaaS. In the coming years, such service will continue to grow with smarter applications and transport service. At the same time, such service will prove to be a great value addition when coupled up with modern fleet management systems equipped with connected car technology. A lot of new things we can expect when Mobility-as-a-service and fleet management systems work in collaboration.

On road safety pushed by cybersecurity

As of now the transport services and the passengers all over the globe mostly understood on road safety as a distinctly separate aspect from the cyber security systems. Apparently, we are likely to observe no connection between them. But as cars and vehicles are increasingly getting smarter and technologically equipped with computing capabilities and sensors, the cybersecurity in the near future will be seen as intertwined with the on-road safety. Protection of vehicle and passenger data will be a crucial determinant factor for the popularity of cybersecurity systems.
