Telematics (with Location Based Services) Wireless Carriers Voice Recognition GPS Location based M-commerce Call Centers Telematics & Location-based Services Consumer Electronics Internet / Content Wireless Services
Growth of Automotive Industry in India • 65% of freight, 87% of passenger traffic by road transportation • Traffic on roads grows at 10% per annum • Production capacity to reach about 10 million vehicles per year • Vehicle population growth - 12% per annum, 200 mn vehicles in India by 2021 • 7 vehicles per 1,000 persons, 48 % of vehicles ply in the metros • Total cars in India - 3.53 million 3.3 million kilometers of road network, the second largest in the world
Strong Attributes: Indian Scenario • Automotive industry - Very strong players • IT giants with strength and turnover comparable to international IT players • Mobile companies with wide coverage, keen to offer more and more services to get customers • Call centers at a profitable rate than in other countries • Road transportation sector poised for growth
Telematics in India (Current Status) • GIS applications market at a small scale • Navigational aids available in internet • Vehicle Tracking System in production plant for Maruti Udyog • In some states, Road Transport Corporations run buses with GPS receivers, as a pilot study • Location of the bus at any time, its speed, and its arrival time available at control center
Telematics Services (Opportunities in India) • Different services based on vehicle type • Passenger cars • Vans, Trucks, Taxis, ambulances • Public Transport • Services • Fleet Management • Remote Diagnostics • Security • Convenience voice & data services • Safety
Fleet Management Trucking Technology • 1.2 million trucks crisscross the country covering more than 80,000 kilometers of roads • Track and guide vehicles • Time vehicles spend- running & stationary, route,directing resources • Improvement in security • Ability to identify and authorize truck drivers • Reroute transfer of perishable goods • Lock and unlock cargo • Security for locations such as air ports, power plants • GPS based electronic fencing, transportation of dangerous materials
Fleet Management • Asset Management • Ambulances, taxis, public transport buses, trucks, semi-trucks, and school buses • Information to control vehicle running costs • Fuel flow data, oil pressure, coolant temperature, distance covered, driver payments • Intelligent transport • Information on arrival times for buses, trains • To organize bus fleet service schedule, or design future road schemes • Toll collection • Debit from a bank account or with a dedicated card by getting the vehicle details
Remote Diagnostics • Auto manufacturer directly connected to their vehicles throughout the lifecycle • To know and control state of condition of every vehicle - Diagnostics • To provide best possible service and customer satisfaction - Customer relationship improvement • Minimize product warranty and liability risks • Statistics about the particular car model • Data on pollution free operation of the vehicle can be used by Government
Security • Stolen Vehicle Tracking • Provide geo-fences • Radio signals from vehicle picked up by a specially equipped police vehicle • Remote Vehicle Immobilization • For vehicles crossing unauthorized territories or stolen vehicles
Security • Driver identity systems • Hand print, iris marking, facial recognition, or other biometric encryption to identify driver and allow car to be started • Remote unlocking • Car’s central locking system interfaced to Telematics service
Convenience data & voice services • Navigation & Traffic Information • Nature and length of traffic delays • Impact on journey times • Direction of vehicles involved • Effect on traffic in opposite direction • Localized weather incidents • Navigational aids • Mobile internet • Useful and valid contents of www to driver • Financial trading - Share tracking • News updates - Sport updates • Audio-Visual entertainment (Accessing www suggested only during park up)
Convenience data & voice services • In-Car Infotainment • Voice accessed e-mail, SMS, Film and Audio downloads
Safety • An SOS button in the car • Notification of air bag deployments • Emergency roadside medical assistance • Access to medical records database
The Road Ahead • Program plan with a ten year vision • Establish a consortium • Clear objectives • Identify the Telematics systems to grow in India • Open invitation for company participation • Implementation to begin with metros • Field rests • Policy for data security • Address risks - India’s own Satellite systems - Triangulation with existing cellular network Fleet applications start off immediately Telematics black boxes to fit to existing vehicles New vehicles to have the system integrated
Proper Payment System • Shared SIM card • Single subscription rate for two identical cards • One card will be in vehicle, connecting it with outside • Other card used in personal phone • A single bill issued every month for combined services
