Connected Cars

Connected cars, often referred to as "smart cars," are vehicles
equipped with internet connectivity and a host of sensors and

software that collect and exchange data. This data is then used to
enhance various aspects of driving, from safety and navigation to
entertainment and convenience.
Connected car technology has revolutionized the automotive industry in recent

years, offering a range of innovative features that enhance the driving experience.
These vehicles are equipped with advanced communication systems that enable
them to connect to the internet, exchange data with other devices, and even
communicate with smart infrastructure. With cutting-edge sensors and integrated
software, connected cars can provide real-time information on traffic conditions,
weather updates, and navigation assistance.
A connected car is a vehicle equipped with internet

connectivity and a range of sensors and communication
devices that allow it to interact with its surroundings. These
technologies can include GPS navigation, entertainment
systems, diagnostic sensors, and communication tools that
enable the car to send and receive data.
Transactional information encompasses all the information contained within a single business
process or unit of work, and its primary purpose is to support the performance of daily
operational or structured decisions.
Transactional information is created, for example, when customers are purchasing stocks, making an airline
reservation, or withdrawing cash from an
ATM. Managers use transactional information when making structured decisions at the
operational level, such as when analyzing daily sales reports to determine how much inventory
to carry.
1. Vehicle telematics are comprised of devices, like GPS, in-vehicle sensors, and
control units – in other words, all the tools used to receive and record data in a
connected car.
A connected car is essentially a vehicle equipped with internet access, allowing it to share
data with devices both inside and outside the car. This internet connection is usually
achieved through mobile data networks, facilitating a myriad of services that can be
remotely accessed via smartphones or other devices
Connected car data refers to data generated by vehicles that are equipped with internet
connectivity and onboard sensors. This data can include information such as vehicle
location, speed, acceleration, fuel efficiency, engine performance, and other operational
parameters. The data is generated in real-time and can be used for various purposes, such
as improving transportation efficiency, enhancing vehicle safety, reducing emissions, and
enabling new mobility services.
Car data can offer real-time insights that can optimize logistics and grow customer
satisfaction – from determining the fastest delivery routes and providing more accurate
ETAs to keeping drivers safe by avoiding roadways with high incident rates.
GIS & location services:
In the ongoing quest to provide the richest location data, GIS and Location Intelligence
providers can use connected car data to understand when and why drivers are traveling.
This unique information can help outpace competitors by building more accurate maps and
offering more intelligent routes, while reducing congestion by gaining access to traffic trends
and roadside incidents.
The most common example of a TPS is an operational accounting system such as a payroll
system or an order-entry system (such as a cash register at Target).
An example of a TPS in a connected car is the connected car’s embedded system which allows
the car to independently download updates, send remotely accessible data, and connect
with other devices via the built-in Wi-Fi.
 An example of a TPS in a connected car is the connected car’s embedded system which
enables the car to function autonomously in terms of connectivity. It can
independently download updates, send data that is accessible remotely, and even
connect with other devices and networks. This setup is crucial in integrating the car
into the broader framework of telematics, allowing it to collect and transmit vast
amounts of data related to vehicle performance, location, and usage.
 Embedded System: This system involves a car that is inherently internet-ready,

equipped straight from the factory with a built-in chipset and antenna. The
embedded system enables the car to function autonomously in terms of connectivity.
It can independently download updates, send data that is accessible remotely, and
even connect with other devices and networks. This setup is crucial in integrating the
car into the broader framework of telematics, allowing it to collect and transmit vast
amounts of data related to vehicle performance, location, and usage.
OBDII stands for “On-Board Diagnostics, 2nd Generation.
An example of a Transaction Processing System in a connected car is the On-Board Diagnostics,

2nd Generation (OBD2) which is a diagnostic system in cars and trucks that monitors various
parts and systems, detecting potential problems on the dashboard. It gathers information from
various sensors and processes it through the engine control unit (ECU) to identify issues, such as
engine problems, exhaust emissions, or fuel efficiency issues. If fuel consumption becomes less
efficient, OBD2 may identify a faulty oxygen sensor, allowing for timely repair.
In connected cars, In-vehicle navigation systems are examples of Decision Support

Systems used to plan drivers’ routes so they could avoid bottlenecks. These systems
can integrate a wide range of information – such as whether there’s a concert or other
major event along the way to a vehicle’s destination – and harness algorithms to help
mitigate the impact of these slowdowns. What’s more, local traffic management
centres can access data generated by these platforms so they can implement more
effective de-congestion plans – a benefit that underscores how not only individual
drivers but the entire mobility ecosystem can benefit from FCD-based technology.
In the context of connected cars, fleet telematics data collected via GPS tracking,
Connected cars embedded systems collect various telematics data
Telematics devices in connected cars gather and analyze assorted vehicle data. Data
pertaining to GPS Tracking: Provides real-time navigation and traffic updates. Vehicle
Diagnostics: Generates alerts for needed maintenance, preventing breakdowns. Driver
Behavior: Offers tips to improve driving habits and enhance safety.
Executive Information Systems analysis for telematics generated data can yield efficiency
improvements in terms of better route planning and enhanced operational efficiency as well
as safety improvements in terms of improved driver behavior monitoring.
The proliferation of connected cars presents significant opportunities for enhancing

safety, improving efficiency, and enabling greater convenience.
Advanced safety features, including lane departure warnings, blind spot monitoring,
and automatic emergency braking, have shown to reduce accidents and fatalities.
According to a study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, vehicles
equipped with these features experience a 26% reduction in rear-end collisions.
This trend suggests that automakers are recognizing the importance of safety features
like automatic braking, and are investing in research and development to improve
these technologies. As a result, we can expect to see more vehicles equipped with
advanced safety features like automatic braking in the coming years, which can help
prevent accidents and save lives on the road.
Connected cars also offer the potential to improve fuel efficiency and reduce
emissions, which can save drivers money on fuel and maintenance costs while
mitigating their environmental impact. A report by the International Energy
Agency found that connected car technology can improve fuel efficiency by up to
10%, and reduce CO2 emissions by up to 15%.
In addition, connected cars offer new opportunities for entertainment and

convenience. With smartphone integration, drivers can easily access music, podcasts,
and navigation apps on the go. Voice-activated controls and other hands-free features
also make it easier and safer for drivers to use these features while driving.
Risks of the Connected Car Revolution

While the connected car revolution brings exciting opportunities, it also poses new
risks and challenges. One of the most significant risks is the threat of cyber attacks.
As cars become increasingly connected to the internet and other devices, they become
vulnerable to hacking and other forms of cybercrime. According to a report by the
Ponemon Institute, the number of cyber attacks on connected cars has increased by
113% over the past few years.
In addition to cyber attacks, connected cars generate vast amounts of data that can be
misused. This data includes sensitive information about driving habits, location, and
personal preferences. According to a report by Consumer Reports, carmakers often
share this data with third-party advertisers without drivers’ consent, raising concerns
about data privacy and security.
Furthermore, as connected cars collect more personal data about drivers and
passengers, there are growing concerns about privacy. In fact, based on a recent
survey, 78% of drivers expressed concern about the privacy implications of connected
cars.
