Connected Vehicles

ABSTRACT
In line with a long tradition of innovation in automobile safety, comfort and security various
companies are making use of new technologies in order to create next-generation cars. The
industry is moving towards mobility-as-a-Service technology. Connected vehicles provide an
idea about the nearby traffic conditions and surroundings as a whole. These help in taking
decisions that are related to traffic management. This report discusses on the research done by
technology analyst relating to the Mobility-as-a-Service and assesses the manner in which future
services will be provided by car rental companies and the manner in which this specific industry
is getting transformed at a rapid rate. It has been assessed through research of technology analyst
that connected car technology and cars-as-a-service (CaaS). This can be referred to as new
demand for enhanced mobility as well as flexibility by consumers. The facility will not only
assess them in managing vehicles but also assess their status. In this paper various aspects of
connected vehicles have been discussed and lastly a future perspective about the same have been
given.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Introduction
According to the research done by Zhao and Malikopoulos, (2019), mobility technology assists
improves accessibility to transportation for the consumers without the need for vehicle
ownership. Furthermore, the emergence of connected and automated technologies can bring in
improvisations in the possible advantages of shared mobility systems. This literature review
explores the implications of systems with shared autonomous vehicles by considering various
points of view relating to autonomous vehicle systems and describes how rental companies will
operate in the near future.
Mobility as a service
Jittrapirom et la., (2017) specify that Mobility- as- a -Service (MaaS), is considered an emerging
trend in the transportation sector. For instance, Clarion, the leader of in-vehicle information
solutions provides assistance in sharing expertise with Hitachi and other companies in various
areas such as view-based advanced driver assistance systems, high definition cameras and 360
degrees camera systems. In the upcoming era of autonomous mobility, fusion of technology is
required in order to adopt autonomous mobility solutions. Moreover, mobility technology has
enabled vehicles to stay connected with cloud network services in order to access entertainment
services such as music, latest news, weather conditions and many more such things. This also
ensures that the users get a safe driving experience.
Connected vehicle technology
According to the research done by Tiaprasert et al., (2015), for saving lives and avoiding injuries
on roadways, it is required that effective communication is there in between vehicles and
vehicles at the roadside. In this way, Du et al., (2017) reflects that these advances and wireless
communication in case of transportation sector gets supported by dedicated short-range
communications (DSRC). The data is conveyed from the roadside to vehicle in order to give
warning to the driver that it is unsafe to enter into the crossroads.
Amadeo, Campolo and Molinaro, (2016), specified that connected car can be referred as a
vehicle which can access to the internet and communicate with the smart device along with other
cars and infrastructure system. Furthermore, it could collect real-time data from the various
sources which play a significant role in foreseeable internet material. The technology of
connected car operates through V2V communication architecture, which acts as “A framework
for real-time, short-range wireless data exchange between vehicles which provide major safety
benefits”. The specified communication enables the exchange of data related to the vehicles in
relation to speed, position and location (Wang and et al. 2017).
According to Bonn and Eschborn, (2018), connected vehicle ecosystems revolve around the
owners, technology and automotive industry. The connected vehicles’ ecosystem players are
inclusive of drivers, automotive players, technology players, digital services players, digital
