Connected Vehicle Technology and its Extensibility to Intelligent Transportation Systems: A Review

Neerav Sharma, Rahul Dev Garg

At present time, all consumer goods ranging from air conditioners to thermostats are connected to the cloud-based platform and automobiles are a no exception. Automobile sector is moving slowly and steadily towards autonomous driving vehicles. To achieve this, it is required that the onboard computer mimics the intelligence of a human driver that is the onboard computer should possess vision, contextual intelligence, navigational route and hyper locational awareness. Geomatics concepts provide the necessary real-world locational awareness via GPS and allow efficient planning of the same via GIS techniques. Connected car technologies are moving with a rapid pace and requirement of cloud computing with real-world observations is of prime importance. This is achieved by the concepts of IoT which provides strong base through its flexibility of two-way interactions with cloud and server while planning a network. Environmental entities also play an important part and it is thus required to incorporate the concepts of Intelligent Transportation Systems for successful transportation planning through traffic density estimation and Navigational guidance. Hyper-locational awareness is very essential for any navigation-based problem because in its absence, the connected car concept floats without its ends tied to the real-world scenario where the GPS concepts help fulfilling the wide-open gap. This review portrays necessary information about the concept of connected vehicle technologies and lays a strong foundation for carrying modern-day trending focus on achieving autonomous cars.
