Market observation: Car networking will be a hot topic for Internet of Things

In order to cope with the increasing traffic jams in the country, the first comprehensive measures for blocking traffic in Beijing have put the construction of a new generation of intelligent transportation systems on the agenda. Beijing’s traffic congestion management will provide a solution to the national congestion problem.

Beijing plans to build a new generation of intelligent traffic operation coordination command and management system. According to the plan, on the one hand, Beijing will study the feasibility of implementing electronic smart license plates; on the other hand, Beijing will establish a number of intelligent traffic operation service management systems, including: a new generation of traffic information release systems, traffic congestion charging management systems and Parking berth management information system.

However, the construction of these three intelligent management systems is closely related to information, and information collection is the key. In this area, the Internet of Things business has great potential, especially car networking. Car networking is the integration of existing electronic information technologies. Each car is used as a source of information and connected to the network through wireless communication means to achieve unified management of vehicles nationwide. At present, 10% of Beijing's major arterial roads are responsible for 80% of the traffic volume because the entire system has a good understanding of the main roads and insufficient information about the main roads. Beijing's existing traffic information collection systems include: loop coil detection systems, microwave detection systems, ultrasonic detection systems, and video detection systems. These systems provide seamless 24-hour surveillance of expressways and trunk roads, but have limited branch coverage. At the same time, Beijing has also developed a floating vehicle traffic information collection system that relies on the information exchanged with traffic data centers for information on ordinary vehicles (such as taxis, buses, and police cars) equipped with positioning and wireless communication devices to realize traffic information. collection. However, it still cannot fundamentally solve the problem of rapid exchange of real-time information inside and outside the vehicle. To this end, the rapidly developing Internet of Things provides the supporting foundation for the application of the Internet of Vehicles.

To realize the coordinated development of the car network based on the automobile as the node and on the basis of the network, the coordinated development of people, vehicles, roads and networks requires social conditions, technical conditions, and institutional conditions. In recent years, due to the rapid development of RFID-based sensor networks that have received extensive attention, RFID and infrared sensors, global positioning systems, laser scanners and other information-sensing devices can connect any item to a communication network. Information exchange to achieve intelligent identification, positioning, tracking, monitoring and management. This solves the problem of how cars connect to the public network. In an age when technology is rapidly becoming more and more important, cars are not just a means of transport. Technology provides more functions for cars, and cars can also have entertainment, learning, work, and complete emergency rescue functions. Car DVDs and car TVs are nothing new. The major manufacturers of the 2010 Guangzhou International Auto Show are eager to release new models, many of which are equipped with intelligent systems. China Unicom (600,050, stocks) and Geely have demonstrated 3G “smart cars”. As long as the 3G onboard internet information service is opened, the owner can know whether the traffic route is in a traffic jam and avoid the risk of congestion in time; if the car is lost, 3G anti-theft tracking service will The orientation of the car can be located; if the car fails, the vehicle-mounted wireless communication technology can also be used to achieve emergency rescue. It can be seen that, with the development of the Internet of things and sensor network, it will inevitably bring about the intelligent development trend of the transportation industry, and will inevitably bring the ultimate application intelligence of the transportation industry. The car networking will also become the next bright spot in the application of China's Internet of things. .

First of all, the customer needs of the Internet of Vehicles application exist today. With the rapid development of the urban economy, especially the progress of modernization and informatization, there has been a period of progress. In many cities, while the vehicle ownership has grown at an average annual rate of 20%, Traffic problems such as congestion also plague multiple cities. How to deal with traffic problems such as congestion has become a thorny problem in major cities.

At present, the bright performance of broadband in various industries has brought good news to urban traffic and people's travel. High-tech means “governance blocking” has gradually been adopted by traffic control departments, and video surveillance and other Internet of Things applications are playing an increasingly active role. Nowadays, most cities have incorporated traffic into the broadband intelligent traffic monitoring system. When they enter the main road sections, they can see monitors elevated on both sides of the road or on the bridge.

This also provides support for the application of car networking.

Secondly, the application of informatization technology has received more and more attention from traffic authorities at all levels. According to statistics, 19 transport authorities in China have established a special network for the transport industry, and 27 have built a local area network for the Communications Department. The 15 provincial transport administrations have built a transport administration management information system, 5 built key transport GPS monitoring systems, 6 built passenger and cargo transport management systems, 2 completed transportation emergency command systems, and 4 completed road transport integrated statistical information management systems. At the same time, the development of broadband intelligent transportation is also reflected in the expressway network toll collection and city card. Of the 29 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities that implement highway toll collection in China, 27 have already achieved networking in different areas, and the networked mileage accounts for about 88% of the total mileage of highways in China. This has become the basis for the development of car networking.

Third, the development of the Internet of Cars is good for individual citizens.

The ultimate goal of the development of car networking is to optimize traffic and minimize delays so that citizens can reach their destinations in the least amount of time. By improving the safety, environmental protection, and efficiency of transportation, they will eventually provide more convenience for the citizens' travel. . 3G cars based on the Internet of Vehicles will use the world's leading 3G network in China to provide car owners with a wealth of car information services, which will completely change the image of traditional car information islands, enabling owners to actively obtain personalized information in the car and under the car. become possible. The current development of remote diagnosis and rescue, location services, information services, entertainment services, communications services, call centers and other related automotive information products, to achieve a highly integrated, ubiquitous automotive industry information services, for individuals, families, businesses and industry consumption Create better information life experience services. This has also promoted the development of the Internet of Things into a hot spot for the Internet of Things.

It can be seen from this that, while domestic industry continues to experience high enthusiasm in the field of intelligent transportation, the application of the Internet of Things is also playing a greater role in intelligent transportation, and the introduction of the Internet of Vehicles will bring intelligent transportation to a higher level. . Eighty percent of the "Twelfth Five-Year" communications investment will be used for broadband construction, which also provides protection for the prevalence of car networking. Although intelligent traffic information technology represented by Beijing and Guangzhou has developed to a new level, there is still much room for growth in the area of ​​vehicle networking. With the development of the city, the improvement of road infrastructure and the rapid increase of motor vehicles, especially the prevalence of private cars, traffic supervision is facing unprecedented new opportunities and new challenges. The integration of IoT with car networking has become a new direction. Instead of traditional traffic management modes and means. With the improvement of the broadband intelligent traffic monitoring system and the Internet of Things, it is believed that in the near future, urban travel will reach a new level.
