Part 1 – Research on Technology and Industry
Short Description of Technology and Industry:
Intelligent Personal Assistants
In this study, the considered technology is intelligent personal assistants and the industry assumed is
public transport. The intelligent personal assistants are the devices or applications that help to assist
the transport industries and travel agencies. The recent development in the mobile communication
had paved way for the telecommunication field to enhance the travel information system, which
gives information about the new places and assist the resources in locating particular locations
(David Pogue). These locations are very important for destinations such that the travellers used to
adopt the maps for the journey. This intelligent personal assistant enables the travellers to reach to
the destination and gives more insights about the distance, routes, and all other details (Brad Miser).
The technology relies on the industries such that the technology specified deals with the personal
assistants that operates in the transport field, helps to make movement of the vehicles with
intelligence. These personal assistants benefit drivers as they help to guide them with the routes and
destinations. With these intelligent personal assistants, the road traffic, and accidents are greatly
reduced with no issues for individuals travelling from a source location to the destination (Anusuya
M.A, Katti S.K 2009). Automation with robotics play key role in the intelligent personal assistants (S
M Veres, 2008)
Public Transport
In this industry, the transport involves the movement of an individual from a place to other place.
Public transport operates in various locations that help the people to travel from one location to
other location. However, the movement from a place to other destination exists through the public
transports. These public transports may include the call taxi, bus, and any other means of transport
operating in public. The intelligent personal assistants in the public transport are increased in the
applications and they have improved the usage of transports guaranteeing the safe journey for the
individuals who use this kind of the public transport (Shinya Iizuka et al., 2012).
The intelligent personal assistants improved the efficiency of the transport industry. The devices had
driven their levels as the best and resulted to enhance the transports and driver experienced the
best times in terms of comfort. The advantages of the intelligent personal assistant include the
follows: provision of comfort to the individual driving the vehicle, control the unnecessary traffic,
restricts the unfortunate accidents, and all other supports regarding the movement to the
destination. In addition to this, the personal assistant helps to improve the efficiency of the drivers in
transport system. The personal assistant has various features of providing the navigation of routes in
maps, scheduler, and all other features to improve the comfort of the passengers. Most of personal
assistants are occupied in the smart phone applications (Sirius, 2018). These applications serve as
the personal assistants for the individuals in public transport system.
